Addressing Biases in the Texts using an End-to-End Pipeline Approach
share
The concept of fairness is gaining popularity in academia and industry. Social media is especially vulnerable to media biases and toxic language and comments. We propose a fair ML pipeline that takes a text as input and determines whether it contains biases and toxic content. Then, based on pre-trained word embeddings, it suggests a set of new words by substituting the bi-ased words, the idea is to lessen the effects of those biases by replacing them with alternative words. We compare our approach to existing fairness models to determine its effectiveness. The results show that our proposed pipeline can de-tect, identify, and mitigate biases in social media data
