首个豪萨语性别歧视检测数据集,助力低资源语言的偏见识别。
Dataset Creation and Baseline Models for Sexism Detection in Hausa
- 通过社区参与和双阶段用户研究构建豪萨语性别歧视数据集
- 多语言模型在少样本学习下表现有限,误报率高
- 揭示文化表达差异对性别歧视识别的关键影响
性别歧视通过强化刻板印象、偏见和歧视性规范,加剧性别不平等与社会排斥。在线平台助长了多种形式的性别歧视,亟需有效的检测与缓解策略。尽管高资源语言中已有广泛计算方法,但在低资源语言中,因语言资源匮乏和文化差异,性别歧视的表达与认知方式不同,进展仍受限。本研究首次构建豪萨语性别歧视检测数据集,基于社区参与、定性编码与数据增强,并开展两阶段用户研究(共66名母语者),探究日常话语中性别歧视的定义与表达方式。进一步测试传统机器学习分类器与预训练多语言模型,评估少样本学习在豪萨语性别歧视检测中的效果。结果表明,捕捉文化细微差别存在挑战,尤其在疑问式表达与习语中,模型易产生大量误报。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Sexism reinforces gender inequality and social exclusion by perpetuating stereotypes, bias, and discriminatory norms. Noting how online platforms enable various forms of sexism to thrive, there is a growing need for effective sexism detection and mitigation strategies. While computational approaches to sexism detection are widespread in high-resource languages, progress remains limited in low-resource languages where limited linguistic resources and cultural differences affect how sexism is expressed and perceived. This study introduces the first Hausa sexism detection dataset, developed through community engagement, qualitative coding, and data augmentation. For cultural nuances and linguistic representation, we conducted a two-stage user study (n=66) involving native speakers to explore how sexism is defined and articulated in everyday discourse. We further experiment with both traditional machine learning classifiers and pre-trained multilingual language models and evaluating the effectiveness few-shot learning in detecting sexism in Hausa. Our findings highlight challenges in capturing cultural nuance, particularly with clarification-seeking and idiomatic expressions, and reveal a tendency for many false positives in such cases.
