[Adapt] [seminar] Unsupervised Controllable Revision for Biased Language Correction

[GUO Shijia]

Hi Adapters,


Unconscious biases continue to be prevalent in modern text and media, calling for algorithms that can assist writers with bias correction. For example, a female character in a story is often
portrayed as passive and powerless (“She daydreams about being a doctor”) while a man is portrayed as more proactive and powerful (“He pursues his dream of being a doctor”).


In the paper "PowerTransformer: Unsupervised Controllable Revision for Biased Language Correction" which I will talk about tomorrow, the authors formulate Controllable Debiasing, a new revision task that aims to rewrite a given text to correct the implicit and potentially undesirable bias in character portrayals.


Hope you enjoy.


Time: March 10 at 3pm
Venue: SEIEE 3-414


Best,
Sylvie
