π© Report : Ethical issue(s)
This model should be much better documented (perhaps even gated and inference API disabled), especially in regard to the very questionable training data (e.g.:"Reddit Suicidality Dataset") and frankly worrying masked predictions that are returned as a result.
e.g. you should [MASK] yourself
returns:
[
{
"score": 0.4340360462665558,
"token": 3102,
"token_str": "kill",
"sequence": "you should kill yourself."
},
{
"score": 0.03151785582304001,
"token": 2393,
"token_str": "help",
"sequence": "you should help yourself."
},
{
"score": 0.027964605018496513,
"token": 16957,
"token_str": "educate",
"sequence": "you should educate yourself."
},
{
"score": 0.0247198399156332,
"token": 7499,
"token_str": "blame",
"sequence": "you should blame yourself."
},
{
"score": 0.022770801559090614,
"token": 5223,
"token_str": "hate",
"sequence": "you should hate yourself."
}
]
That's almost half the probability mass on "kill" whereas the base model (bert-base) returns:
[
{
"score": 0.07848504185676575,
"token": 2022,
"token_str": "be",
"sequence": "you should be yourself"
},
{
"score": 0.05783441290259361,
"token": 3422,
"token_str": "watch",
"sequence": "you should watch yourself"
},
{
"score": 0.05074597895145416,
"token": 2113,
"token_str": "know",
"sequence": "you should know yourself"
},
{
"score": 0.038460295647382736,
"token": 4047,
"token_str": "protect",
"sequence": "you should protect yourself"
},
{
"score": 0.031826239079236984,
"token": 4863,
"token_str": "explain",
"sequence": "you should explain yourself"
}
]
Such abusive predictions should be acknowledged and documented, and not relegated to the current "Social Impact" section which is a verbatim version of that same section of the paper.
Other example:

I agree that this could be a good use of the gating mechanism. What do you think, @mental ?
Thanks for the comments. The gating mechanism will be enabled.
