A Representation-Level Assessment of Bias Mitigation in Foundation Models

Svetoslav Nizhnichenkov, Rahul Nair, Elizabeth Daly +1

We investigate how successful bias mitigation reshapes the embedding space of encoder-only and decoder-only foundation models, offering an internal audit of model behaviour through…

Foundation Models at Work: Fine-Tuning for Fairness in Algorithmic Hiring

Buse Sibel Korkmaz, Rahul Nair, Elizabeth M. Daly +3

Foundation models require fine-tuning to ensure their generative outputs align with intended results for specific tasks. Automating this fine-tuning process is challenging, as it t…
