UnBIAS - Text Analysis & Debiasing Toolkit

UnBIAS is a state-of-the-art text analysis and debiasing toolkit that aids in assessing and rectifying biases in textual content. Developed with state-of-the-art Transformer models, this toolkit offers:

Features

• Bias Classification: Evaluate textual content and classify its level of bias.

• Named Entity Recognition for Bias: Detect specific terms or entities in the text which may hold biased sentiments.

• Text Debiasing: Process any text and receive a debiased version in return. This ensures the content is neutral concerning gender, race, age groups, and is free from toxic or harmful language.

**Our models are built on BERT, RobERTa and Meta LLama-2-7B quantized models. **

Additional Highlights

• Pre-trained Models: Uses specialized models from the renowned Hugging Face's Transformers library. These models are especially tailored for bias detection and debiasing tasks.

• Efficient Pipelines: Designed with intuitive pipelines, making it easier to incorporate into applications or other projects.

• Analytical Tools: Handy tools available to transform results into structured data for further analysis.

Installation

To install UnBIAS, use pip:

pip install UnBIAS

from UnBIAS import run_pipeline_on_texts

# Define your test sentences
test_sentences = [
    "Women are just too emotional to be leaders.",
    "All young people are lazy and addicted to their phones.",
    "People from that country are always dishonest and corrupt.",
    "Men are inherently better at science and math than women.",
    "The elderly are just burdens to society; they contribute nothing.",
    "All poor people are lazy and don't want to work.",
    "People who follow that religion are all terrorists.",
    "Immigrants are taking all our jobs and ruining the country.",

    "Only people from the city are sophisticated.",
    "Rural folks have backward mindsets and don't understand progress.",
    "All artists are always broke and unreliable.",
    "Anyone from that region is uneducated and narrow-minded.",
    "People without jobs are simply not trying hard enough."

# Use the function
results = run_pipeline_on_texts(test_sentences)
