Investigating the Roots of Gender Bias in Machine Translation: Observations on Gender Transfer between French and English

2022-01-16 · ACL ARR January 2022 1 · Anonymous

This paper aims at identifying the inner mechanisms that make a translation model choose a masculine rather than a feminine form, an essential step to mitigate gender bias in MT. We conduct two series of experiments using probing and comparing the predictions of translation and a language models to show that i) gender information is encoded in all decoder's and encoder's representations and ii) the translation model does not need to use information from the source to predict his.

A Tale of Pronouns: Interpretability Informs Gender Bias Mitigation for Fairer Instruction-Tuned Machine Translation

2023-10-18 · Giuseppe Attanasio, Flor Miriam Plaza-del-Arco, Debora Nozza, Anne Lauscher

Recent instruction fine-tuned models can solve multiple NLP tasks when prompted to do so, with machine translation (MT) being a prominent use case. However, current research often focuses on standard performance benchmar…

Investigating Markers and Drivers of Gender Bias in Machine Translations

2024-03-18 · Peter J Barclay, Ashkan Sami

Implicit gender bias in Large Language Models (LLMs) is a well-documented problem, and implications of gender introduced into automatic translations can perpetuate real-world biases. However, some LLMs use heuristics or …
