BRIDGE the Gap: Mitigating Bias Amplification in Automated Scoring of English Language Learners via Inter-group Data Augmentation

Researchers developed BRIDGE, a framework to reduce bias in AI-powered automated scoring systems that unfairly penalize English Language Learners (ELLs). The system addresses representation bias by generating synthetic high-scoring ELL samples, achieving fairness improvements comparable to using additional human data while maintaining overall performance.

Interpretable Debiasing of Vision-Language Models for Social Fairness

Researchers have developed DeBiasLens, a new framework that uses sparse autoencoders to identify and deactivate social bias neurons in Vision-Language models without degrading their performance. The model-agnostic approach addresses concerns about unintended social bias in VLMs by making the debiasing process interpretable and targeting internal model dynamics rather than surface-level fixes.
