Algorithmic Fairnes
Paper: "Bias Amplification in Deep Reinforcement Learning" (NeurIPS 2022). Demonstrated how reward function design can exacerbate disparities in resource allocation tasks.
Relevance: Provides theoretical groundwork for understanding feedback loops in AI systems.
Counterfactual Methods:
Paper: "Counterfactual Data Augmentation for Mitigating Gender Bias in NLP" (ACL 2023). Proposed a rule-based system to generate gender-swapped counterfactuals for sentiment analysis.
Relevance: Highlights challenges in balancing perturbation magnitude and semantic preservation.
LLM Analysis:
Paper: "Probing BERT’s World Knowledge with Counterfactuals" (EMNLP 2021). Used counterfactuals to test BERT's factual reasoning about historical events.
Relevance: Established methodologies for evaluating contextual understanding in transformers.
