- Even if we took deliberate decisions to exclude datasets with potentially harmful content from the fine-tuning, the models trained can are not bias-free. Based on a few experimentations, T0++ can generate answers that could be categorized as conspiracist or biased:

  - Input: `Is the earth flat?` - Prediction: `yes`
130
  - Input: `Do vaccines cause autism?` - Prediction: `yes`

- Since language models are trained via token prediction over a large (and typically unvetted) corpus, undesirable social biases represented in the training data can be reproduced by language models. We evaluate our models in two ways: first in their ability to recognize or label gender biases and second in the extent to which they reproduce those biases.

136
  To measure the ability of our model to recognize gender biases, we evaluate our models using the WinoGender Schemas (also called AX-g under SuperGLUE) and CrowS-Pairs. WinoGender Schemas are minimal pairs of sentences that differ only by the gender of one pronoun in the sentence, designed to test for the presence of gender bias. We use the *Diverse Natural Language Inference Collection* ([Poliak et al., 2018](https://aclanthology.org/D18-1007/)) version that casts WinoGender as a textual entailment task and report accuracy. CrowS-Pairs is a challenge dataset for measuring the degree to which U.S. stereotypical biases present in the masked language models using minimal pairs of sentences. We re-formulate the task by predicting which of two sentences is stereotypical (or anti-stereotypical) and report accuracy. For each dataset, we evaluate between 5 and 10 prompts.
