1. Identify bias-sensitive tokens, obtain bias subspace and create the dataset to train the bias classifier

python data_preprocess.py --embed_source glove --by_pca True --num_components 5 --save_subspace False

Glove embedding and gpt2 embedding are large files, you can download or extract them by yourself. We also provide the google drive link.

2. Train the bias classifier and learn the projection matrix P

python context_nullspace_projection.py

The code of nullspace projection is from INLP. Thanks for their great work!

To run the INLP experiments, you need to git clone https://github.com/shauli-ravfogel/nullspace_projection first, and put it under the root directory of this repo.

3. Evaluate Bias existing in the gpt2

Local Bias

cd src/local_bias
python measure_local_bias.py

It will take long time to run the evaluation script on the full data. Here we provide the subset of our evaluation data now. Full data will be uploaded via google drive soon.

Global Bias

We use the regard score difference as the metric for global bias. The evaluation code is from https://github.com/ewsheng/nlg-bias. Thanks for their great work!

git clone https://github.com/ewsheng/nlg-bias.git
cd src/global_bias
python generate_full_sentence.py --algorithm INLP

After full sentences are generated, you need to use the regard classifier to measure the global bias.

To reproduce the result in our paper, we also provide the projection matrix P for the gender bias test in data/saved_P/P_gender_test_79.npy
