+This is a demo for a project exploring possible spurious correlations that have been learned by our models. We first examined the training datasets and learning tasks to hypothesize what spurious correlations may exist. Below we can condition on these variables to determine what effect they may have on the prediction outcomes.
 
 Specially in this demo: In a user provided sentence, with at least one reference to a `DATE` and one gender pronoun, we will see how sweeping through a range of `DATE` values can change the predicted pronouns. This effect can be observed in BERT base models and in our fine-tuned models (with a specific pronoun predicting task on the [wiki-bio](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wiki_bio) dataset).
 
-One way to explain this phenomena is by looking at a likely data generating process for biographical-like data in both the main BERT training dataset as well as the `wiki_bio` dataset, in the form of a causal DAG.

 <h2> Causal DAG </h2> 
-In the DAG, we can see that `birth_place`, `birth_date` and `gender` are all independent elements that have no common cause with the other covariates in the DAG. However `birth_place`, `birth_date` and `gender` may all have a role in causing one's `access_to_resources`, with the general trend that `access_to_resources` has become less gender-dependent over time, but not in every `birth_place`, with recent events in Afghanistan providing a stark counterexample to this trend. Importantly, `access_to_resources` determines how, **if at all**, you may appear in the dataset's `context_words`.

-We argue that although there are complex causal interactions between each words in any given sentence, the `context_words` are more likely to cause the `gender_pronouns`, rather than vice versa. For example, if the subject is a famous doctor and the object is her wealthy father, these context words will determine which person is being referred to, and thus which gendered-pronoun to use.

 Those familiar with causal DAGs may note when can simply condition on `gender` to block any confounding between the `context_words` and the `gender_pronouns`.  However, this is not always possible, particularly in generative or mask-filling tasks where gender may be unknown, common in language modeling and in the demo below.  
  
  <h2> How to use this demo </h2>

 In this demo, a user can add any sentence that contains at least one gender pronoun and the capitalized word `DATE`. We then sweep through a range of `date` values in the place of `DATE`, while masking (for prediction) the gender pronouns (included in the list below).

 Some trends that appear in the test sentences I have tried:
 - Conditioning on `birth_date` metadata in both training and inference text has the largest dose-response relationship. This seems reasonable, as the fine-tuned model is able to 'stratify' a learned relationship between gender pronouns and dates, when both are present in the text.
 - While conditioning on either no metadata or `birth_place` data training, have similar middle-ground effects for this inference task. 
-- Finally,  conditioning on `name` metadata in training, (while again conditioning on `date` in inference) has almost no dose-response relationship. It appears the learning of a `name —> gender pronouns` relationship was sufficiently successful to overwhelm any potential more nuanced learning, such as that driven by `birth_date` or `place`.
