Abstract

The phenomenon of bias is prevalent in human society, often manifested through natural language. Traditional bias studies have mainly focused on static word embedding models, but with the continuous evolution of natural language processing technology, research has gradually shifted towards pre-trained models with stronger contextual processing capabilities. As pre-trained models further develop, although large language models have been widely deployed in multiple applications due to their remarkable performance and broad prospects, they may still capture social biases from unprocessed training data and propagate these biases to downstream tasks. Biased large language model systems can cause adverse social impacts and other potential harm. Therefore, there is an urgent need for further exploration of bias in large language models. This paper discusses the origins of bias in natural language processing and provides an analysis and summary of the development of bias evaluation and mitigation methods from word embedding models to the current large language models, aiming to provide valuable references for future related research.
