###### Abstract

_Warning: This paper contains examples and case studies that may be offensive._

The pervasive influence of social biases in language data has sparked the need for benchmark datasets that capture and evaluate these biases in Large Language Models (LLMs). Existing efforts predominantly focus on English language and the Western context, leaving a void for a reliable dataset that encapsulates India's unique socio-cultural nuances. To bridge this gap, we introduce **IndiBias**, a comprehensive benchmarking dataset designed specifically for evaluating social biases in the Indian context. We filter and translate the existing CrowS-Pairs dataset to create a benchmark dataset suited to the Indian context in Hindi language. Additionally, we leverage LLMs including ChatGPT and InstructGPT to augment our dataset with diverse societal biases and stereotypes prevalent in India. The included bias dimensions encompass _gender, religion, caste, age, region, physical appearance, and occupation_. We also build a resource to address _intersectional biases_ along three intersectional dimensions. Our dataset contains 800 sentence pairs and 300 tuples for bias measurement across different demographics. The dataset is available in English and Hindi, providing a size comparable to existing benchmark datasets. Furthermore, using _IndiBias_ we compare ten different language models on multiple bias measurement metrics. We observed that the language models exhibit more bias across a majority of the intersectional groups. All the scripts utilized and datasets created in this study are publicly available1.

## 1 Introduction

Language models (LMs) are trained on vast amounts of text data and excel in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, many recent studies have shown evidence of undesirable biases and stereotypes in NLP datasets and models Blodgett et al. (2020); Bender et al. (2021); Sahoo et al. (2022). These models stand a risk of reproducing the learned harmful biases in various downstream NLP applications Savoldi et al. (2021); Ziems et al. (2022); Mozafari et al. (2020) which in turn can be significantly detrimental to certain demographic groups. This necessitates the need for high-quality benchmark datasets to measure models' preference for stereotypical associations in diverse social contexts.

**Motivation:** India is a country with many different languages, religions, castes, and regional identities. Ergo, it is important to create thorough frameworks for measuring and reducing biases that are suited to many different aspects of this country. Furthermore, the impact of biases in LMs is particularly pronounced in India due to its diverse user base. Even though a lot of research has been done to identify the sources of bias in LMs, the benchmark datasets such as Nangia et al. (2020), Nadeem et al. (2021) mostly focus on English language and western culture. This creates a significant gap in understanding and mitigating biases in LMs tailored to the Indian context. Moreover, we found some major logical inconsistencies and fundamental errors in these datasets, which make them unreliable to measure the extent to which NLP systems reproduce stereotypes. Blodgett et al. (2021) also dissect and highlight some major pitfalls in existing benchmark datasets. Additionally, the detection of intersectional bias is missing in the Indian context but is crucially needed because of the complex and interconnected nature of social identities present in India.

We aim to fill these gaps by proposing **IndiBias**, a high-quality comprehensive dataset to measure and quantify LM's biases and stereotypes in the Indian context. Among the various axes of social disparities in India, we have addressed seven

major categories namely _gender, religion, caste, age, region, physical appearance, and occupation/socioeconomic status_ along with three intersectional axes such as _gender-religion, gender-caste, and gender-age_. Our dataset is in Hindi and English languages.

**Our contributions are:**

1. 300 tuples of the form (_identity term, stereotypical attribute)_ obtained using ChatGPT and InstructGPT, and manually validated for seven different social identities, i.e., _gender, religion, caste, age, region, physical appearance, and occupation_ (section 4.1).
2. A resource consisting of \(\sim 1000\)_bleached_ sentences to evaluate intersectional biases addressing _gender-religion_, _gender-age_, and _gender-caste_ intersectional axes of social disparities in the Indian context (section 5).
3. A dataset of 1600 sentence pairs (800 English and 800 Hindi) obtained by translating the Crows-Pairs dataset and changing culture-specific terms in the translation from the US context to the Indian context and also by leveraging tuple dataset (section 4.2).
4. An analysis using our datasets to probe, quantify, and compare the biases in ten multilingual models (section 6).

## 2 Related Work

Bias in LMs refers to the presence of unfair or discriminatory behavior exhibited by these models towards certain demographic groups or sensitive topics Hammersley and Gomm (1997); Singh et al. (2022). Numerous studies demonstrate that LMs tend to reflect and amplify societal biases present in the pre-training data Bolukbasi et al. (2016); Jia et al. (2020); Zhao et al. (2017); Sheng et al. (2021).

While most efforts to detect and mitigate bias in LMs focus on the English language and Western society, recent works address biases in data and language representations from diverse cultures and languages like Arabic Lauscher et al. (2020), French Kurpicz-Briki (2020), Italian Sanguinetti et al. (2020), etc. There are also few studies addressing this problem in the Indian context Pujari et al. (2020); Malik et al. (2022).

Efforts to understand and quantify biases in LMs have led to the development of metrics Caliskan et al. (2017); May et al. (2019); Manizini et al. (2019) and bias benchmark datasets. Common benchmark creation approaches include using predefined word sets, template-based sentences Stereoset et al. (2021)), or crowd-sourced sentences Crowspairs et al. (2020)) to assess bias by examining output generation for certain demographics and measuring model behavior on sensitive attributes. Notably, however, there exists a gap in such studies concerning non-western contexts. To address this, Neveol et al. (2022) releases an extension of Crows-Pairs for French with some modifications to the original dataset.

Recently, researchers have started focusing on such issues in the Indian context. Based on interviews with 36 Indian society and technology experts, Sambasivan et al. (2021) proposed a research agenda for AI fairness in India and have suggested six distinct axes of fairness in India. Bhatt et al. (2022) have released a fairness evaluation corpus covering stereotypes pertaining to _region_ and _religion_ axes relevant to the Indian context in English language. Jha et al. (2023) cover stereotypes across 179 demographic groups from 178 countries through their benchmark dataset. However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no prior work to create benchmark datasets in Hindi language.

Furthermore, previous works have primarily focused on biases along a single dimension with limited exploration of intersectional biases across multiple relevant characteristics. Tan and Celis (2019) propose methods to examine intersectional identities specifically along the race-gender axis using BERT and GPT-2 models, with a focus on African American and European American racial groups. In contrast, our work aims to evaluate the extent of intersectional biases in LMs trained on a multilingual corpus that includes various Indian languages across three intersectional axes, i.e, _gender-religion, gender-caster, gender-age_.

In the following section, we delve into the characterization of social biases in the Indian context.

## 3 Characterization of Social Biases in Indian Context

Axes of disparities like _Caste, Religion, and Region_ exhibit a rich array of social biases specific to the Indian context. Paste-based prejudices have a long-standing prevalence in India, despite the efforts for their eradication by the Indian society Ambedkar (2014). The Indian entertainment media, too, has highlighted the plight of sections of society that are at the receiving end of caste and 

class-based discrimination with movies like Article 15 (2019), The Kashmir Files (2022)2, and Masaan (2015). Dalits, Adivasis, Denotified Tribes3, and women in backward regions in India face myriad societal biases and detestable stereotypes. Early work by de Souza (1977) highlighted the presence of various stereotypes for regional subgroups in India, by demonstrating an association of character traits with people's regional identities. Bhatt et al. (2022) conform with de Souza's work by demonstrating similar associations in datasets- Wikipedia and IndicCorp-en corpus and LMs- MuRIL and mBERT. Works like Sahoo et al. (2023), Rajadesingan et al. (2019), Haokip (2021), Sabharwal and Sonalkar (2015), and McDuie-Ra (2012) also make significant contributions towards spotlighting the specific biases and stereotypes faced by groups of individuals in the Indian society.

Footnote 3: [https://rb.gy/@32glh_thttps://rb.gy/rt00ze](https://rb.gy/@32glh_thttps://rb.gy/rt00ze)

Moreover, social biases and stereotypes have a multi-fold nature, possessing global and geo-cultural context-specific elements. Some global axes of social disparities are _Gender, Age, and Physical Appearance_. However, these global axes too exhibit a variation across different demographics. For instance, consider Gender, an axis of disparity that sees various commonly experienced biases and stereotypes by _women_. However, there are also geo-cultural context-specific biases against women which may exhibit a vast amount of variation across the globe. To illustrate this more clearly, consider the following example sentences:

**S1:**_Women can't do math._

**S2:**_Women wearing traditional attire in **Rayasthan** are seen as **conservative****._

**S3:**_Women wearing traditional attire in **West Bengal** are seen as **cultural ambassadors****._

Sentence S1 represents a stereotype commonly held by the world. In comparison, sentences S2 and S3 demonstrate a complete reversal of stereotypes across different states in India. Additionally, these stereotypes may or may not be valid across the globe.

The fast adoption of NLP applications in India's legal, medical, education, and media sectors necessitates ensuring LM's fairness for the Indian context. Hence, it is imperative that the research community builds diverse, reliable, high-quality benchmark datasets designed to measure model bias in a context-specific fashion.

## 4 _IndiBias_ Dataset

We take a multifaceted approach to create _IndiBias_. It is a composition of modified sentence pairs from CrowS-Pairs (an existing benchmarking dataset) adapted to the Indian context, sentences generated using _IndiaI Bias_ tuples, and template-based sentences created by leveraging the power of LLMs. The following subsections provide a detailed description of the dataset creation process.

### _IndiBias_: Bias tuples

The axes of _region_ and _caste_ being specific to the Indian context are absent in the original CrowS-Pairs dataset. To address this, we created tuples designed specifically for the Indian context. The tuples created encompass axes of _Region, Caste, Religion, Age, Gender, Physical appearance_, and

Figure 1: Examples of paired instances (_SI-S2_) from Indian Crows-pairs (ICS) corpus. Both the examples mentioned here are of _stereo_ type. _S1_ always presents a stereotype or an anti-stereotype for the corresponding bias type. The Hindi examples mentioned here are the Hindi versions of the corresponding _Modified (English)_ pair. Construction of sentence pairs and issues mentioned in the _Concern_ column are elaborated in sections 4.2.1, 4.3. For more examples, refer to the table 6, 7 in the Appendix.

 

occupation/socioeconomic status_. This also makes the dataset more exhaustive by capturing the prevalent stereotypes and biases that may be lacking in the Crows-Pairs. We also use these tuples to further extend the India Crow-Pairs dataset as described in section 4.2.2. The tuples are in the following format: (_identity term, stereotypical attribute)_. Where _identity term_ represents a specific group, and _attribute_ is a concept stereotypically associated with the _identity term_. The identity terms included are listed in figure 2. A tuple is characterized as a positive tuple if the attribute describing the identity term has a positive connotation and is otherwise characterized as a negative tuple. For tuple creation, we follow a four-step process. We first prompt ChatGPT/InstructGPT to generate 10 positive and 10 negative attributes for each of the included identity terms. The specific prompts used can be found in Table 5 of the Appendix F. Next, three annotators are employed to evaluate whether the identity term and attribute tuples reflect prevalent stereotypical associations in Indian society. Tuples marked as stereotypical by \(\geq\) 2 annotators are considered stereotypical pairs. Examples of the selected tuples, along with the number of annotators who labeled them as stereotypical, and the corresponding type, i.e., _positive or negative_, are provided in table 8 (Appendix I). Our approach to tuple generation differs from Bhatt et al. (2022), which captured only 2 bias axes, namely _region_ and _religion_. We capture 5 additional axes and also use a human-LLM partnership approach to generate stereotypical sentence pairs using these tuples. Details of the annotation procedure and the inter-annotator scores are discussed in Appendix D.

### _IndiBias_: Indian CrowS-Pairs (ICS)

We created a Crow-Pairs style dataset explicitly tailored to the Indian socio-cultural landscape to assess biases in multilingual LLMs across seven distinct social bias axes: gender, religion, age, caste, disability, physical appearance, and socioeconomic status. Initially, we filtered and adapted the original Crows-Pairs to align with the nuances of the Indian context. Subsequently, we augmented that with a similar dataset, exploiting the _IndiaBias tuple dataset_.

#### 4.2.1 Inherited from Nangia et al. (2020)

The existing CrowS-Pairs dataset (Nangia et al., 2020) containing 1508 sentence pairs was created to measure social biases in LMs against protected demographic groups in the US. It encompasses sentence pairs where the first sentence contains a target group and an attribute that is stereotypically associated with that group. The second sentence in the sentence pair varies from the first sentence only in terms of the target group and/or the attribute. The second sentence is less stereotypical than the first sentence when the sentence pair is of type _stereo_ and vice-versa when the sentence pair is of _anti-stereo_ type. Examples of sentence pairs from the original CrowS-Pairs dataset are included in Figure 1.

CrowS-Pairs addresses social biases corresponding to nine categories. Sentence pairs corresponding to _race4_, _religion5_, _and nationality6_ categories were not relevant to the Indian context. Also, on manual analysis, we found the sentence pairs corresponding to _sexual orientation_ category barely applicable to the Indian context. Many of the phrases related to sexual orientation from the original dataset do not have a proper translation in Hindi. So, we first filtered CrowS-Pairs to retain sentences corresponding to _gender, age, disability, physical appearance, and socioeconomic status_ categories. We retain those sentence pairs that are pertinent to the Indian context or can be modified and adapted to align with the Indian context. This filtered subset contains 542 sentence pairs, out of which the bias categories of _gender, age, disability, physical appearance, and socioeconomic status_ has a share of \(45.6\%,14.4\%,5.5\%,9.6\%,\) and \(24.9\%\) respectively; for more details refer Table 6.

Footnote 4: Race category pairs were mostly for Black vs White, which is not applicable to Indian society.

Footnote 5: Pairs mostly centered on Christian and Jewish communities, which aren’t prevalent biases in India. Pairs containing Muslim groups also lack reflection of Indian societal biases.

The second step was to obtain preliminary machine translations of sentences in this subset; we

Figure 2: Identity terms corresponding to each demographic for which attribute tuples and templates are included in _IndiaBias_[7]: _OBC (Other backward Classes)_, 8: _SC/ST_ (SC - Scheduled Castes, ST - Scheduled Tribbes)]



used NLLB Translator7 and Google Translate8 for this. Five annotators meticulously reviewed the original sentence pairs and their Hindi translations obtained in the previous step. The translation best suited was selected. In many instances, manual modifications were also done to rectify any machine translation errors. To alleviate annotator bias while selecting a translation, information regarding the machine translation engine, i.e., Google Translate and NLLB, was kept hidden from them. Sentence pairs containing named entities were replaced with the most common Indian male and female names obtained from resources discussed in section 5.1. Each sentence pair in the Indian version of CrowS-Pairs contains two sentences, S1 and S2. Every sentence contains a target group and an attribute that may be stereotypically associated with the target group. The two sentences in a pair satisfy the property of being _minimally distant_. Two sentences are said to be minimally distant if the only words they differ in are the _target group and related pronouns_. **For example:** S1: _He was excited about his big football game tomorrow._ S2: _She was excited about her big football game tomorrow._ We remove or modify the pairs from Crows-Pairs when both attribute terms and target groups differ between two participating sentences.

Footnote 7: [https://rb.gy/zo7l5](https://rb.gy/zo7l5)

#### 4.2.2 Using IndiBias Tuples

We employ a human-LLM partnership approach to create similar sentence pairs as described in 4.2.1. Section 4.1 describes the method used for obtaining tuples. The tuples that were marked as stereotypical by \(\geq 2\) annotators were used to generate stereotypical sentences by prompting LLMs namely ChatGPT and Gemini. Given a tuple of the form (identity, attribute), LLM was prompted to generate naturally occurring sentences that demonstrate the identity group being associated stereotypically with the attribute in the tuple. A naturally occurring sentence is one that occurs in social media platforms, novels, human conversations, movie dialogues, etc. The prompts used for generating these sentences are listed in table 5. The LLM-generated sentences were verified, filtered, and modified by 4 human annotators. Suitable sentences for which meaningful sentence pairs could be created were selected. The sentence pairs obtained using dataset by Nangia et al. (2020) address categories _gender, age, disability, physical appearance, and socioeconomic status_, while creating sentences from tuples, we focused on two categories, namely _religion and caste_. The created sentence pairs were then translated to parallel Hindi pairs using the same approach discussed in section 4.2.1. Some examples of the stereotypical tuples and corresponding sentence pairs are given in table 7.

We created a total of 258 sentence pairs using tuples, out of which the bias categories of religion and caste have a share of 62.6%, 37.4% respectively9. Our work on the creation of IndiBias Tuples aligns with Jha et al. (2023) and Bhatt et al. (2022). However, to the best of our knowledge, no other work so far has employed this unique human-LLM partnership approach to generate sentence pairs for assessing the presence of learned stereotypes in language models using stereotypical tuples. We also made sure to meticulously avoid all the pitfalls outlined in table 7.

Footnote 9: [https://pypi.org/project/googletrans/](https://pypi.org/project/googletrans/)

In our dataset, a sentence pair is labeled _stereo_ when the target group in S1 has a stereotypical association with the attribute in S1. It is labeled as _antistereo_ when the attribute in S1 negates or represents the opposite of the actual stereotype (anti-stereotype) associated with the target group in S1. Challenges in adapting the existing sentence pairs to the Indian context are discussed below.

### Challenges in Dataset Creation

We divide the challenges in adapting the existing sentences from CrowS-Pairs to the Indian context in four broad categories. We also consider the pitfalls discussed by Blodgett et al. (2021) and address many of them while creating the dataset. We discuss our approach to addressing those pitfalls in table 7 of Appendix H.

**Machine Translation and Target Language Properties:** There were numerous instances where the machine translations were either incorrect or did not appropriately represent the desired intent of the source sentence. The annotators modified such translations suitably. There were many sentence pairs with identical Hindi translations for both S1 and S2. This phenomenon was observed because, in Hindi, pronouns are not gendered. Hence source sentences that differed only in words 'he' and 'she', 'his' and 'her' were found to be identical post-translation. Words he and she both being translated to 'vah', and his and hers both translated to 'uska/unka.' To retain gender information 

post-translation we modified the sentences to include phrases like 'ek purush (a man)/ ek mahila (a woman)'. Figure 1(b) contains an example to demonstrate this challenge. More examples that demonstrate some innovative resolutions we provided for this problem are included in figure 6 in the Appendix H.

**Difficulty in understanding source sentences:** This could be due to the unfamiliarity of annotators with the US context and grammatically incorrect or illogical source sentences.

**Adapting sentences to the Indian Context:** Sentences containing phrases like 'rural Kentucky', 'star-quarterback', etc have little to no relevance to the Indian context. These were modified suitably, see example Figure 1(a). Also, assuring that the Hindi translations of source sentences are befitting to reflect commonly held stereotypes by Indian society was another major challenge.

**Miscellaneous:** Satisfying the minimally distant property post-translation to Hindi, too, was a challenge. Moreover, efforts were also taken to remove sentence pairs where one of the sentences contradicts **reality**, see Table 13 in Appendix for examples of such sentence pairs.

## 5 Intersectional Biases

Intersectional bias refers to the discrimination or prejudice that individuals who belong to multiple marginalized groups or have intersecting social identities experience Lalor et al. (2022). It acknowledges that individuals are not subject to biases based solely on a single identity dimension but rather experience a complex interplay of biases that originate from the intersections of their various social categories.

We investigate intersectional bias across three dimensions, i.e., _gender-religion, gender-caste, gender-age_. We use Sentence Embedding Association Tests May et al. (2019) to measure the degree of biasness of different models using bleached templates.

### Gender-Religion axis:

Gender-religion intersection bias refers to the specific form of bias that arises from the intersection of an individual's gender identity and religious affiliation. For our work, we adopt a binary understanding of gender (i.e., male & female) and specifically concentrate on the religious subgroups: Hindu and Muslim. We use _first names_ as the representations of each intersectional identity group such as _Hindumale, Muslim-male, Hindu-female, Muslim-female_. We scraped first names from publicly available sources10 and checked the occurrences of each first name in the pre-training corpus of Muril Khanija et al. (2021) and IndicBert Doddapaneni et al. (2023) models. We use 14 most frequently occurring names for each intersectional identity group. For the gender-religion intersectional axis, we calculate SEAT scores with Career/Family concepts from Caliskan et al. (2017). The Career/Family word list, as provided by these researchers, serves as our foundation for this analysis. In addition, we extend our investigation by computing SEAT scores using our own Non-violent/Violent concepts (e.g., calm, safe, aggressive, destructive, etc.). For the latter, we have formulated a dedicated word list. Further details, including the list of names used for each intersectional group and the complete Non-violent/Violent word list, are provided in table 10 and 11 respectively in the Appendix. We discuss the bleached sentence patterns to calculate SEAT scores in Appendix B.

Footnote 10: [https://rb.gy/glu24](https://rb.gy/glu24)

### Gender-Caste axis:

Gender-caste intersection bias refers to the bias that arises from the intersection of an individual's gender identity and caste identity. We consider two subgroups corresponding to the case identity, i.e., lower caste and upper caste. For both lower and higher caste groups, we leverage the terms used by Malik et al. (2022), and the complete word list can be found in Table 12 in the Appendix. We use compound nouns consisting of gendered words and caste terms (e.g., dalt boy, brahmin girl, etc.) as representatives of each intersectional identity group such as _lower caste-male, upper caste-male, lower caste-female, upper caste-female_.

### Gender-Age axis:

Gender-age intersection bias refers to the bias that arises from the intersection of an individual's gender identity and age group. We consider two subgroups corresponding to age identity, i.e., young people and old people. Here also we use compound nouns consisting of gendered words and age terms (e.g., young boy, old lady, etc.) as representatives of each intersectional identity group such as _young-male, old-male, young-female, old-female_.

We use the male and female word lists from 

Caliskan et al. (2017) to create intersectional terms for gender-caste and gender-age axes. For both gender-caste and gender-age intersectional axes, we calculate the SEAT score with Pleasant/Unpleasant concepts from Caliskan et al. (2017). We use the Pleasant/Unpleasant word list released by Caliskan et al. (2017) for the same. To calculate the SEAT score for Hindi representations, we translate the English-bleached sentences to Hindi using the NLLB model Team et al. (2022) and manually verify the correctness of the translated sentences.

_IndiBias_ dataset is an agglomerate of the Indian CrowS-Pairs (ICS), the Indian context-specific attribute tuples, and the bleached sentences for three intersectional axes.

## 6 Experiments and Results

We use the models mentioned in table 1 to quantify the bias in them using our benchmark dataset. Furthermore, these models are used to quantify intersectional biases along the three distinct axes that are discussed in the previous section.

### Evaluation of Indian Crows-Pairs

An instance in our dataset contains two modified English sentences and corresponding two sentences for the Hindi translations. Every instance has a label of being stereo or antistereo. Given a pair of sentences (\(S1\), \(S2\)), each sentence is first broken into the corresponding words, and a U set (unmodified words) and M set (modified words) is obtained for each of the two sentences. U set for a sentence \(S_{i}\) contains those words which are common for both the sentences and M set for a sentence \(S_{i}\) contains those words which are different. Examples of these U sets and M sets for a few pairs of sentences are provided in figure 8 in the Appendix.

To measure the likelihood of a sentence, \(score(S)\), we calculate the probability of unmodified words conditioned on the modified words \(P(U|M,\theta)\) and also the probability of modified words conditioned on the unmodified words \(P(M|U,\theta)\). The numbers are reported using \(P(U|M,\theta)\) as a measure for \(score(S)\), because as mentioned by Nangia et al. (2020), \(P(M|U,\theta)\) calculation can be biased by the pre-training data used for training the given model.

To calculate the probability \(P(U|M,\theta)\), the approximation used by Nangia et al. (2020) is taken into account, i.e the expression used to approximate \(P(U|M,\theta)\) is given by

\[\sum_{i=0}^{|C|}\log P(u_{i}\in U\mid U_{\backslash u_{i}},M,\theta)\]

where \(|C|\) is the number of tokens in the U set. \(score(S)\) is then calculated by normalizing the probability \(P(U|M,\theta)\) relative to the number of tokens \(|C|\).

Since Hindi sentences are being used, word-level masking is employed instead of token-level masking so that the words having multiple tokens are contained together in either U set or M set. As depicted in figure 3, we observe that although word-1 and word-2 have distinct first and second tokens, they share an identical third token. Consequently, if token-level masking is performed, the third token will be included in the U set. However, our objective is to encompass the entirety of word-1 and word-2 within the M set, rather than the U set.

For models that are primarily encoder-based, \(P(U|M,\theta)\) is used as a measure of a score of sentence S. For models like mT5, mGPT, and Bloom, which are either decoder-based or seq2seq models, the score of a sentence, \(score(S)\) is calculated based on the normalized probability of the sentence. The normalized probability of a sentence is calculated by dividing the sum of the conditional log probabilities of each token, conditioned upon all preceding tokens, by the total number of tokens.

#### 6.1.1 Bias Percentage Calculation

Table 2 represents the results obtained using different models on the IndiBias Dataset. For a given model, we calculate the number of pairs of sentences where \(score(S1)\) is greater than \(score(S2)\) when the label is stereo (let this count be \(n_{1}\)), and

Figure 3: Tokenization of Hindi Words



the number of pairs of sentences where \(score(S2)\) is greater than \(score(S1)\) when the label is anti-stereo (let this count be \(n_{2}\)), and we term this as _Bias Percentage_ of the model. We then compute the percentage of (\(n_{1}+n_{2}\)) relative to the total number of sentence pairs. If this percentage is closer to 100, it indicates that the model consistently favors more stereotypical sentences. Conversely, if the value approaches 0, it indicates the model's preference for anti-stereotypical sentences. An unbiased model would yield a score closer to 50.

For English sentences, Bernice, IndicBERT, and mT5 achieve scores that are closer to 50 compared to other models. In contrast, for Hindi sentences, XLMR attains a score of 52.36. This observation suggests that models with scores closer to 50 for English sentences across various bias types do not necessarily translate to reduced biases in Hindi. Notably, _mT5 predominantly favors anti-stereotypical_ associations for both English and Hindi. We can also observe that models generally exhibit more bias in English compared to Hindi on the overall ICS dataset. This can be attributed to the difference in the language-specific pre-training corpus for different models, particularly in capturing stereotypes within the Indian context.

Within the gender category, which constitutes the highest percentage of sentences in our dataset, mBART shows the least bias in English, whereas Bloom exhibits the least bias in Hindi. For the religion bias, generally, the models are more biased in English than Hindi, potentially because the English language pre-training corpus captures the concept of religious bias more globally rather than being limited to the Indian context.

We also discuss the difference of scores assigned by models to the pairs of sentences in Appendix C and show corresponding distribution plots in figure 4 and 5.

### Evaluation of Intersectional Biases

Table 3 shows the biases for the gender-religion intersection in English and Hindi for ten multilingual models. Hindi is not there in the pre-training of Llama v2 and Mistral models, hence we do not report scores corresponding to these two models in table 3. We present the results for two types of attributes, namely work (Career/Family) and violence (Non-violence/Violence), as the former is a commonly used stereotype for gender while the latter is for religion Caliskan et al. (2017); Abid et al. (2021). The Career/Family bias between the two genders is higher in India-specific models (IndicBert and Muril) in both English and Hindi, indicating that this particular gender bias may be higher in the Indian context than the Western counterparts. Also, mGPT exhibits significant career/family bias for English sentences. The work bias against the female group is higher in the Muslim religion, while it is slightly lower for Hindu females. As expected, the work bias is very low between the male groups across both religions, while it is interesting to note that it is quite high between Hindu and Muslim females in the Hindi models. The violence bias is usually against the Muslim group in all the models across languages. However, Hindi models show higher violence bias against Muslim groups.

It is higher in mGPT than in India-specific models in English, and it is usually higher against the Muslim male group in comparison to both Hindu male and Hindu female groups. Similar trends are seen in Hindi as well, though the magnitudes of these biases are much lower in Hindi.

In the case of gender-caste intersectional bias (Table 4), most of the English models are usually biased toward the female group in terms of their pleasantness, with the exception that Bernice, IndicBert, and Muril illustrate bias toward the upper caste groups when comparing genders across the

cates. It is the opposite in Hindi - the models are biased toward the male groups for pleasantness. It is interesting to note that when comparing castes keeping the gender constant, almost all the models for English and Hindi indicate more pleasantness toward the upper caste groups, whereas mBART is biased toward the lower cases, in both languages. The primary factor contributing to this phenomenon can be attributed to the composition of pre-training data used in various models. As evident from the data presented in table 1, the Bernice model's pre-training involves social media content, where posts on Indian social media platforms exhibit a notable trend of positivity towards individuals belonging to the upper caste [25], as opposed to those from the lower castes. Similarly, both IndicBERT and Muril models draw their pre-training data from Indian news articles and Indian wiki pages, which consistently display a higher prevalence of positive sentiments11 directed towards upper-caste individuals compared to those from lower castes [30, 49].

Footnote 11: [https://shorturl.at/mKMU3](https://shorturl.at/mKMU3)

The bias between various groups on the genderage axis is usually very low in XLMR (Table 9). In India-specific models, females are usually seen as more pleasant in both English and Hindi, with the exception when the older female group is compared to the younger male group. It is interesting to note that the Bernice model for Hindi shows more pleasantness towards male people across both gender groups. The younger group across genders is typically seen as more pleasant in comparison to the older group. The dominant cause of these behaviors can again be attributed to the pre-training data of these models.

## 7 Conclusion and Future Work

Through _IndiBias_, we aim to facilitate advancements in the understanding of social biases in LLMs, with a specific focus on Indian languages and cultural contexts. We have released an extensive set of identity-attribute tuples encompassing seven different demographics such as _gender, religion, caste, age, region, physical appearance, and occupation_, to capture positive and negative stereotypes prevalent in Indian society. We follow a translate-filter-modify approach to create an Indian version of the CrowS-Pairs dataset in English and Hindi languages. We then augment this dataset using manually annotated sentence pairs using the tuple dataset. We conducted a comprehensive bias analysis of different LMs using this dataset. In addition, our analysis using SEAT revealed the existence of intersectional biases in the Indian context. This finding highlights the significance of considering the compounded effects of multiple dimensions in LM biases. Additionally, we aim to augment the dataset by incorporating _sexual orientation_ instances into the Indian CrowS-Pairs. Also, we intend to expand such dataset to multiple Indian languages.

## Limitations

Owing to the rich socio-cultural diversity in India, it is highly likely that some stereotypes exhibit a complete reversal with regional variation, an example to illustrate this is in section 3. It is beyond the scope of our dataset to address this regional variation of societal stereotypes. Our dataset primarily addresses stereotypes corresponding to the binary gender. This limitation is majorly on account of the scarce presence of the concept of gender identity in Indian text corpora and the lack of familiarity of the annotators with these marginalized groups and their lived experiences. Due attention was paid during the creation of a modified version of the CrowS-Pairs dataset to ensure high quality and its suitability to the Indian context, this led to a significant number of sentence pairs being filtered out from the original CrowS-Pairs dataset. Thus, the size of Indian CrowS-Pairs is a limitation. Another limitation is that our dataset is made available in Hindi and English languages and does not cover other Indian languages. Our dataset is also limited by the fact that it can only capture a subgroup of stereotypes that are explicitly mentioned in text corpora. It is important to note that other biases and stereotypes prevalent in Indian society, which are not conveyed through textual representation, are not captured by our dataset. It is important to emphasize that the complexities and nuances of social stereotypes, as they manifest in real-world data, cannot be sufficiently explored or captured by relying solely on a single framework (Abele et al., 2020). The largest model we have experimented with is the \(13B\) version of mGPT12. However our dataset can also be used to benchmark any other LLMs irrespective of their size.

## Ethics Statement

Our dataset serves as a valuable benchmarking tool for evaluating models regarding the specific biases and stereotypes it covers. However, researchers need to exercise caution when interpreting the absence of bias based on our dataset, as it does not encompass all possible biases. The resources we have created reflect the opinions of a small pool of annotators. (Blodgett et al., 2021) have highlighted some key challenges in constructing benchmark datasets while also acknowledging that some of these challenges do not have obvious solutions. Though guided by the scaffolding provided by (Blodgett et al., 2021), our efforts are not absolutely free from all the issues they highlighted. We have developed this dataset as an initial step to address a portion of the intricate stereotypes encountered by people across India. We envision future endeavors to expand its scope further, encompassing a wider range of stereotypes, including those of greater complexity. This progression will facilitate a more rigorous evaluation of language models and systems.

## Appendix A Experimental Setup

Experiments were run with a single NVIDIA A100 GPU. All of our implementations use Huggingface's transformer library Wolf et al. (2020).

## Appendix B Embedding Association Test

In line with the approach outlined by May et al. (2019), we adopt a similar methodology for evaluating SEATs. Let \(X\) and \(Y\) represent sets of target concept embeddings of equal size, while \(A\) and \(B\) denote sets of attribute embeddings. These embeddings are obtained by encoding words that define the respective concepts or attributes. Word Embedding Association Test (WEAT) measures the effect size of the association between a concept \(X\) with attribute \(A\) and concept \(Y\) with attribute \(B\), as opposed to concept \(X\) with attribute \(B\) and concept \(Y\) with attribute \(A\). The test statistic is

\[\begin{split} s(X,Y,A,B)=&\left[\sum_{x\in X}s(x,A, B)-\right.\\ &\qquad\quad\left.\sum_{y\in Y}s(y,A,B)\right],\end{split} \tag{1}\]

where each addend is the difference between the mean of cosine similarities of the respective attributes:

\[\begin{split} s(w,A,B)=&[\mathrm{mean}_{a\in A} \cos(w,a)-\\ &\qquad\quad\left.\mathrm{mean}_{b\in B}\cos(w,b)\right]\end{split} \tag{2}\]

To compute the significance of the association between \((A,B)\) and \((X,Y)\), a permutation test on \(s(X,Y,A,B)\) is used.

\[p=\Pr\left[s\left(X_{i},Y_{i},A,B\right)>s(X,Y,A,B)\right]\]

where the probability is computed over the space of partitions \((X_{i},Y_{i})\) of \(X\cup Y\) so that \(X_{i}\) and \(Y_{i}\) are of equal size. The effect size is defined to be

\[d=\frac{\mathrm{mean}_{x\in X}\,s(x,A,B)-\mathrm{mean}_{y\in Y}\,s(y,A,B)}{ \mathrm{std}_{-}\,\mathrm{dev}_{w\in X\cup Y}\,s(w,A,B)} \tag{3}\]

A larger effect size corresponds to more severe pro-stereotypical representations, controlling for significance.

In the association tests, the embeddings utilized are derived from sentence encodings. These encodings are the contextual representations (embedding of [CLS] token) of the sentence. The Significance of Effect sizes (SEATs) are derived from Word Embedding Association Tests (WEATs) by employing "semantically bleached" sentence templates. These templates, such as "This is a [caring]" or "[Anjali] is here," are designed to observe the impact of a sentence encoding based on a specific term, independent of the associations formed with the contextual presence of other potentially semantically meaningful words. This approach allows us to isolate the effects of a particular term in sentence encoding, enabling a focused analysis of its impact on the association tests.

We discuss the usage of SEAT score in **Section 5: Intersection Biases** (5) of the main paper.

## Appendix C Other Experiments

\[DS=\begin{cases}\text{score}(S_{1})-\text{score}(S_{2}),&\text{if stereo}.\\ \text{score}(S_{2})-\text{score}(S_{1}),&\text{if antistereo}.\end{cases} \tag{4}\]

The difference of scores (\(DS\)) for a given pair of sentences is calculated as \(score(S_{1})-score(S_{2})\) for stereo-labeled sentence pairs and \(score(S_{2})-score(S_{1})\) for antistereo-labeled sentence pairs. A distribution centered closely around zero suggests that the model exhibits minimal variance among the calculated difference of scores. It represents that, on average, the model does not disproportionately 

favor one sentence over the other in most instances. Figure 4 and figure 5 show the KDE plot distribution obtained for the difference of scores using English and Hindi sentence pairs of the ICS dataset. For Hindi, mGPT exhibits the highest concentration of difference scores around zero, whereas for English, Bernice demonstrates the highest density of difference scores for the same region. The models exhibit a broader range of differences of scores for English sentence pairs compared to Hindi sentence pairs. Also, we notice that among all models, the distribution for mT5 is skewed towards the negative side for both Hindi and English, thus confirming the _bias percentage_ score of the model (as defined in section 6.1.1) being less than 50 as presented in Table 2.

## Appendix D Annotator Demographics

All five annotators were trained and selected through extensive one-on-one discussions. They had previous research experience in Natural Language Processing and understood the Indian context very well. They went through few days of initial training where they would annotate many examples which would then be validated by an expert and were communicated properly about any wrong annotations during training. Given the potential adverse consequences of annotating biased and sensitive content, we conducted regular discussion sessions with the annotators to mitigate excessive exposure to harmful materials. Three of the annotators were Indian males and two annotators were Indian females. All five annotators were of age between 20 to 35. Two of the annotators were pursuing PhD in computer science and engineering and three annotators had completed BTech in computer applications.

For the dataset mentioned in section 4.1, we employed three annotators. One of the annotators was from Muslim religion and the other two were Hindu. Annotators were instructed to provide a score of 1 if they thought the (identity term, attribute) pair is stereotype and 0 otherwise. The annotator agreement score for a few of the instances of the tuple dataset is mentioned in Table 8 of the Appendix. A score of 3 suggests that each of the annotators consider the corresponding (identity term, attribute) pair as a stereotyped pair. Similarly, a score of 0 suggests that none of the annotators consider the corresponding (identity term, attribute) pair as a stereotyped pair.

## Appendix E Indian Crows-Pairs Statistics

The detailed statistics of the ICS dataset are provided in table 6. The average length of both English and Hindi sentences is more in the pairs annotated using the Tuples than in the pairs created by inheriting Nangia et al. (2020).

Our task is to create a Benchmark dataset for examining the presence of bias and stereotypes in Language models.

For the same we need to generate sentences, which will be validated by humans and used in the dataset.

Some generated sentences can be biased and offensive, but it is the required in order to identify and mitigate biases in LLMs.

I have tuples of the type (identity, attribute), where identity describes action while people of that religion.

Now I want you to generate 5 naturally occurring sentences about the tuple (Muslim, extremist).

A naturally occurring sentence is one that occurs in novels, human conversations, movie dialogues, etc.

## Appendix F Prompts Used

We use ChatGPT/InstructGPT to create tuples in the format: _(identity term, attribute)_ as mentioned in **Section 4.2: Bias tuple creation** of the main paper. The specific prompts used to prompt ChatGPT/InstructGPT can be found in **Table 5**. These are the prompts that were successful in giving output as desired, in all the prompts we tried for extracting stereotypes and bias in the Indian context.

Some prompts are very simple, for example:

"_What are biases and stereotypes that \(<\)identity group\(>\) in India have to face?"_

while some are more complex and were arrived at, after multiple iterations of irrelevant output, for example:

"_Given the following words, per word make 2 sentences for each of the genders, men and women._

\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{c c c c} \hline \hline

## Appendix G Resources for Intersectional SEAT measurement

As discussed in the **Section 5.1: Gender-Religion axis** (5.1) of the main paper, we extracted the _first names_ of each intersectional group of the gender-religion axis from publicly available sources. Then we check their occurrences in the pre-training corpus of Muril Khanuja et al. (2021) and Indicbert Dodapaneni et al. (2023) models. Our focus was specifically on these two datasets due to their direct relevance to the Indian context.

The intersectional groups for gender-religion axis are: _hindu-male, muslim-male, hindu-female, muslim-female._ To facilitate our experimentation, we selected the top 14 names from each of these intersectional groups based on their frequency of occurrence. These names, ranked in descending order of occurrence (from left to right), are presented in **Table 10**. The name occupying the leftmost position within each group denotes the most frequently occurring name, while the rightmost name represents the least frequently occurring among these 14.

In the Indian context, religious demographics are significantly associated with instances of violence. As outlined in **Section 5.1: Gender-Religion axis** (5.1) of the main paper, to facilitate the research for exploring bias towards different intersectional groups involving religion, we created our own Nonviolent/Violent attribute set. Words corresponding to these attribute sets are mentioned in **Table 11**.

As mentioned in **Section 5.2: Gender-Caste axis** (5.2) of the main paper, we use the word list provided by Malik et al. (2022) for both lower and upper caste groups. The word list is provided in **Table 12**.

## Appendix H Challenges in Adapting CrowS-Pairs to Indian version of CrowS-Pairs

In this section, we elaborate on the challenges encountered while adapting the CrowS-Pair dataset to create the _IndiBias_ dataset, as discussed in **Section 4.3: Challenges in Dataset Creation** (4.3) of the main paper.

We have addressed many of the limitations mentioned in Blodgett et al. (2021), and these are mentioned in detail in the table 7. Also, refer to Figure 6 for more examples of concerns/limitations mentioned in Blodgett et al. (2021) and our modified sentences for Indian CrowS-Pairs.

**Figure 6** illustrates the original CrowS-Pair sentence pairs in English alongside their modified versions, which have been adapted to the Indian context and revised to eliminate any logical inconsistencies. These modified sentence pairs were subsequently translated from English to Hindi, as outlined in **Section 4.1: Indian CrowS-Pairs** (4.2) in the main paper.

The _Concern_ column in the figure indicates the rationale behind the modifications made to the original English CrowS-Pair sentence pairs, while the _Bias Type_ column identifies the specific type of bias present in each example.

As discussed, in the process of creating the _IndiBias_ dataset, certain sentences from the CrowS-Pair dataset were modified and included. However, some sentences were deemed either logically inconsistent or irrelevant to the Indian context and were consequently excluded from the _IndiBias_ dataset.

**Table 13** provides examples of instances that were removed from the CrowS-Pair dataset, accompanied by the reasons for their exclusion in the _Concern_ column.

## Appendix I Tuple Dataset for Positive and Negative Stereotypes in Indian Society

As outlined in **Section 4.2: Bias Tuple Creation** (4.1) of the main paper, we employed ChatGPTI/InstrcGTP to generate tuples in the format _(identity term, attribute)_. These tuples were then assessed by three annotators to determine whether they represented common stereotypical associations within Indian society. **Table 8** showcases examples of the selected tuples, accompanied by the number of annotators who identified them as stereotypical, as indicated in the _Score_ column. These filtered tuples were employed to construct sentences both in English and Hindi using templates as described in section 4.2.2. We have only generated Crows-Pairs style sentences corresponding to the Religion and Caste category using these curated tuples
