Bias in GPT-2, BERT and CTRL ➡️ experiments on a new dataset with more than 23,000 text generation prompts show bias in popular LMs. E.g. more negative sentiments in the generated responses than the prompt sources ⤵️ #ML #AI #NLP #bert https://t.co/SAfJdGihMt

@Dannosphere @IkyaKandula Also - remember - Arvind Adiga -the author of the book is Indian & educated in the US & U.K. so to level the ‘western gaze’ criticism is frankly quite odd - we get into dangerous territory when we assume an idealised ‘cultural monoculture’ & critique everything that doesn’t fit.

@Dannosphere @IkyaKandula With 1.5 m Indians in the U.K. and 4.8m in the US -The idea that ‘western gaze’ is somehow inauthentic neglects the experience & perspective of the diaspora - who ARE infused with the ‘western values & gaze’ creating hybrid values which films like this expertly explore!
