StereoSet: Measuring stereotypical bias in pretrained language models

StereoSet: Measuring stereotypical bias in pretrained language models

This repository contains an extensible codebase to measure stereotypical bias on new pretrained models, as well as code to replicate our results. We encourage the community to use this as a springboard for further evaluation of bias in pretrained language models, and to submit attempts to mitigate bias to the leaderboard.

Note: This repository is currently not actively maintained. For updated code and the full test set, see the Bias Bench repository.

Installation

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/moinnadeem/stereoset.git
2. Install the requirements: cd stereoset && pip install -r requirements.txt

Reproducing Results

To reproduce our results for the bias in each model:

1. Run make from the code folder. This step evaluates the biases on each model.
2. Run the scoring script with respect to each model: python3 evaluation.py --gold-file ../data/dev.json --predictions-dir predictions/.

We have provided our predictions in the predictions/ folder, and the output of the evaluation script in predictions.txt. We have also included code to replicate our numbers on each table in the tables/ folder. Please feel free to file an issue if anything is off; we strongly believe in reproducible research and extensible codebases.
