Gender Bias Detection
Gender bias detection in NLP is a family of statistical and embedding-based methods used to measure stereotyping, representational imbalance, and occupational bias in text corpora and language models. Grounded in benchmarks established by Caliskan et al. (2017) with the Word Embedding Association Test (WEAT) and Zhao et al. (2018) with the WinoBias dataset, these methods produce quantitative evidence of gender bias rather than qualitative impressions. They are widely applied in ethical AI research, media analysis, and fairness auditing of machine-learning systems.
