AIGC: I'm too "male"?—— gender bias in large models | YEF2024

(Scan the QR code to register)

The large model is triggering profound social changes and reconstructing the ecology of the information society, and the multi-dimensional and fair large model is an important factor to promote the benign development of the intelligent society.

In the development of artificial intelligence, "gender bias" is not a new word. There is a view that the gender bias in the training method and training data may be learned by the large model and reflected in its output, affecting the fairness and accuracy of decision-making. In the long run, the problem can have many undesirable effects and even trigger a "butterfly effect", such as exacerbating inequality of opportunity, offending women, or reinforcing gender stereotypes in human-computer interactions. How to achieve the governance of gender bias in large models requires dialogue between policy, industry and research.

The forum invited experts related to gender difference research in the field of AIGC to conduct in-depth discussions on the problem of gender bias in large models and their coping strategies from the aspects of large model development, large model alignment, emotional cognitive exploration and gender shaping in large models, mainly discussing the sources and effects of bias, and proposing solutions, with the aim of promoting the fairness, transparency and responsibility of AI technology and promoting the healthy development of intelligent society.

Speculation

1. Is there a gender bias in AIGC, what are the root causes of it, and does it trigger a "butterfly effect"?

2. How can technology be used to "empower women" and de-gender AIGC?

3. What should be, what can and what "she power" should be, can do, and what is difficult to do

Title: Emotional Cognitive Exploration and Gender Shaping in Large Models

Summary:

This report takes the image sentiment analysis task as an example to explore the transformation process of artificial intelligence from semantic perception to emotional cognition, emphasizes the importance of images as a carrier of rich emotional information, and introduces the differences between general image sentiment analysis and traditional image perception research. On this basis, two main challenges faced by image sentiment analysis are pointed out: affective gap and subjectivity. The affective gap is reflected in the inconsistency between the image features and the user's expected emotional state, while subjectivity involves the phenomenon that different viewers have different emotional responses to the same image. This paper introduces the research directions of feature extraction and label noise processing, and looks forward to the development direction of image sentiment analysis, emphasizes the importance of multimodal large models, and puts forward the potential impacts of sentiment information inference and feature fusion of multimodal large models.

Title: Large Model Alignment

Summary:

In the current era of rapid technological development, large models are playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives. However, these technological systems often exhibit gender biases, which not only reflect bias in training data, but can also exacerbate gender inequalities. This report focuses on how to reduce and eliminate these biases by increasing the representation and participation of women in AI and gender-aligning large models.

Title: The Development of Large Models: Adapting to the Past or Changing the Future?

Summary:

The gender bias presented by large models is largely caused by human past data and cognition, and the existing model method adapts to this data distribution. In the face of social discrimination and gender bias, what kind of energy can AI technology exert and what changes can be made? This report will discuss the above issues and discuss the "she power" of AI empowerment from the aspects of data construction, model training methods, and evaluation systems. Next, we look forward to the advantages of women's power in the AI era and the possible benefits it can bring to society as a whole.
