GUS Dataset (2024)

Generalizations, Unfairness, and Stereotypes Dataset (Ethical Spectacle Research)

Ethical Spectacle Research

NER Dataset: 3.7k rows | 2024

Biased Corpus: 37.5k rows | 2024

The GUS dataset (released in the GUS-Net paper), is an entirely synthetic dataset. The synthetic corpus was generated by Mistral 7B, and a random sample was labeled by GPT-4o (with a DSPy annotation pipeline) for multi-label token classification of the entities: Generalizations, Unfairness, and Stereotypes.

The underlying corpus is 37.5k rows, and contains multi-label type-of-bias (or aspect of bias) labels for each biased text sequence.

📑 NER Dataset Contents

Field	Description
text_str	The full text fragment where bias is detected.
ner_tags	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of racial bias.
rationale	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of religious bias.

📑 Biased Corpus Contents

Field	Description
biased_text	The full text fragment where bias is detected.
racial	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of racial bias.
religious	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of religious bias.
gender	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of gender bias.
age	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of age bias.
nationality	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of nationality bias.
sexuality	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of sexuality bias.
socioeconomic	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of socioeconomic bias.
educational	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of educational bias.
disability	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of disability bias.
political	Binary label, presence (1) or absence (0) of political bias.
sentiment	The sentiment given to Mistral 7B in the prompt.
target_group	The group Mistral7B was told to prompt.
statement_type	Type of bias prompted (e.g. "stereotypes," "discriminatory language," "false assumptions," "offensive language," "unfair generalizations").

Mistral 7B was prompted to generate biased sentences, using the arguments in the table below. This means all sentences are intended to be biased. You may want to supplement the dataset with fair statements (with the same labels), if you're using it on unbiased text fragments.
