Does Context Help Mitigate Gender Bias in Neural Machine Translation?
Neural Machine Translation models tend to perpetuate gender bias present in their training data distribution. Context-aware models have been previously suggested as a means to mitigate this type of bias. In this work, we examine this claim by analysing in detail the translation of stereotypical professions in English to German, and translation with non-informative context in Basque to Spanish. Our results show that, although context-aware models can significantly enhance translation accuracy for feminine terms, they can still maintain or even amplify gender bias. These results highlight the need for more fine-grained approaches to bias mitigation in Neural Machine Translation.

Assessing Algorithmic Bias in Language-Based Depression Detection: A Comparison of DNN and LLM Approaches
This paper investigates algorithmic bias in language-based models for automated depression detection, focusing on socio-demographic disparities related to gender and race/ethnicity. Models trained using deep neural netwo…
Few-Shot LearningWatching the Watchers: Exposing Gender Disparities in Machine Translation Quality Estimation
The automatic assessment of translation quality has recently become crucial across several stages of the translation pipeline, from data curation to training and decoding. Although quality estimation (QE) metrics have be…
