{ "Gender Distribution (Term Identity Diversity)": { "description": "Gender distribution is an essential aspect of identity diversity, representing the presence and balance of different gender identities within a given population or dataset. Understanding gender distribution is crucial for promoting inclusivity and equity in various contexts, such as workplaces, educational institutions, and social settings.\nIn this analysis, we examine gender distribution using a set of predefined gender identity categories. Each category represents a specific gender-related attribute or expression. Let's define the terms used in the analysis:\n- No Gender: This category likely refers to individuals who identify as non-binary, genderqueer, or gender-neutral, indicating that they do not align with traditional binary gender categories (male or female).\n- Equal Gender: This category may represent a balance between male and female genders, suggesting an equal representation of both in the dataset or population.\n- Female Positive Gender: This category likely includes individuals who identify as female or have a strong affiliation with femininity.\n- Male Positive Gender: Similarly, this category includes individuals who identify as male or have a strong affiliation with masculinity.\n- Female Strongly Positive Gender: This subcategory represents a more emphatic identification with female gender attributes, possibly indicating a stronger female gender identity.\n- Male Strongly Positive Gender: This subcategory mirrors the previous one but for male gender attributes, indicating a stronger male gender identity.", "fx": "eval_gender_distribution" }, "Gender Profession Bias (Lexical Evaluation)": { "description": "This approach to addressing gender bias in language places a strong emphasis on a fundamental shift in detection and mitigation strategies.\n- Instead of solely relying on traditional frequency-based methods, this approach adopts a more nuanced perspective, prioritizing features within the text that consider contextual and semantic cues. It recognizes that gender bias extends beyond mere word frequency and delves into how language is structured and how it reinforces gender stereotypes.\n- Even with advanced models like Word Embedding and Contextual Word Embedding, which capture more complex language features, there's still a risk of inheriting biases from training data.\n- To tackle this, this approach advocates for a data-driven strategy, involving the collection and labeling of datasets encompassing various subtypes of bias, using a comprehensive taxonomy for precise categorization.", "fx": "eval_gender_profession" }, "GenBiT (Microsoft Gender Bias Tool)": { "description": "[GenBiT](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2021/10/MSJAR_Genbit_Final_Version-616fd3a073758.pdf) is a versatile tool designed to address gender bias in language datasets by utilizing word co-occurrence statistical methods to measure bias. It introduces a novel approach to mitigating gender bias by combining contextual data augmentation, random sampling, sentence classification, and targeted gendered data filtering.\n- The primary goal is to reduce historical gender biases within conversational parallel multilingual datasets, ultimately enhancing the fairness and inclusiveness of machine learning model training and its subsequent applications.\n- What sets GenBiT apart is its adaptability to various forms of bias, not limited to gender alone. It can effectively address biases related to race, religion, or other dimensions, making it a valuable generic tool for bias mitigation in language datasets.\n- GenBiT's impact extends beyond bias reduction metrics; it has shown positive results in improving the performance of machine learning classifiers like Support Vector Machine(SVM). Augmented datasets produced by GenBiT yield significant enhancements in f1-score when compared to the original datasets, underlining its practical benefits in machine learning applications.", "fx": "eval_genbit" } }
