#1 Gender Bias in Coreference Resolution [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi] [REL]

Authors: Rachel Rudinger ; Jason Naradowsky ; Brian Leonard ; Benjamin Van Durme

We present an empirical study of gender bias in coreference resolution systems. We first introduce a novel, Winograd schema-style set of minimal pair sentences that differ only by pronoun gender. With these “Winogender schemas,” we evaluate and confirm systematic gender bias in three publicly-available coreference resolution systems, and correlate this bias with real-world and textual gender statistics.
