Bias Mitigation
The process of identifying and reducing unfair prejudices or systematic errors in AI systems and their data.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Bias Mitigation involves the application of techniques and strategies, both pre-processing (data), in-processing (model), and post-processing (output), to detect, quantify, and reduce undesirable systematic errors or unfair prejudices embedded within AI models or their training data.
BACKGROUND
A large language model (LLM) is a neural network trained on a vast amount of text for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation. LLMs can typically generate, summarize, translate, and analyze text in many contexts, and are a foundational technology behind modern chatbots. Biased or inaccurate training data can make an LLM's output less reliable.
