评估了三种最先进的语言和图像AI模型,即剪辑,滑移和BLIP,以证明以前在社会和实验心理学中观察到的偏见:将美国身份等同于白人。使用芝加哥面部数据库(CFD)的自我识别的亚洲,黑人,拉丁裔和白人的标准化图像的嵌入关联测试(eats)表明,白人与集体内词相比,比亚洲,黑色更相关,或拉丁裔/o个人。在评估社会心理学家报道的美国身份的三个核心方面时,单类饮食表明,白人个体的图像与爱国主义和出生在美国更相关,但与心理学的先前发现一致,白人个人是相关的不太可能平等对待所有种族和背景的人。三个下游机器学习任务表明了与白人相关联的偏见。在使用BLIP的视觉问题回答任务中,有97%的白人被确定为美国人,而仅3%的亚洲人。当被问及个人所描绘的生活状态时,该模型在亚洲人中有53%的时间回应中国,但始终具有美国对白人个人的国家。在图像字幕的任务中,Blip评论了亚洲人的种族多达36%的时间,但从未对白人人士进行比赛。最后,使用基于文本的剪辑指导的综合图像发生器(VQGAN)提供了CFD和文本“ American Person”的初始化图像,从而减轻了所有种族个体的肤色(黑人个人的肤色为35% ,基于像素亮度)。结果表明,语言和图像AI将其等同于美国身份与白人的偏见,并传播到此类模型的下游应用。

Nine language-vision AI models trained on web scrapes with the Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) objective are evaluated for evidence of a bias studied by psychologists: the sexual objectification of girls and women, which occurs when a person's human characteristics are disregarded and the person is treated as a body or a collection of body parts. A first experiment uses standardized images of women from the Sexual OBjectification and EMotion Database, and finds that, commensurate with prior research in psychology, human characteristics are disassociated from images of objectified women: the model's recognition of emotional state is mediated by whether the subject is fully or partially clothed. Embedding association tests (EATs) return significant effect sizes for both anger (d >.8) and sadness (d >.5). A second experiment measures the effect in a representative application: an automatic image captioner (Antarctic Captions) includes words denoting emotion less than 50% as often for images of partially clothed women than for images of fully clothed women. A third experiment finds that images of female professionals (scientists, doctors, executives) are likely to be associated with sexual descriptions relative to images of male professionals. A fourth experiment shows that a prompt of "a [age] year old girl" generates sexualized images (as determined by an NSFW classifier) up to 73% of the time for VQGAN-CLIP (age 17), and up to 40% of the time for Stable Diffusion (ages 14 and 18); the corresponding rate for boys never surpasses 9%. The evidence indicates that language-vision AI models trained on automatically collected web scrapes learn biases of sexual objectification, which propagate to downstream applications.

语言语料库中的统计规律将众所周知的社会偏见编码为单词嵌入。在这里,我们专注于性别,以全面分析在互联网语料库中训练的广泛使用的静态英语单词嵌入式(Glove 2014,FastText 2017)。使用单类单词嵌入关联测试,我们证明了性别偏见的广泛流行,这些偏见也显示出:(1)与男性与女性相关的单词频率; (b)与性别相关的单词中的言论部分; (c)与性别相关的单词中的语义类别; (d)性别相关的单词中的价,唤醒和优势。首先,就单词频率而言:我们发现,在词汇量中,有1000个最常见的单词与男性相比,有77%的人与男性相关,这是在英语世界的日常语言中直接证明男性默认的证据。其次,转向言论的部分:顶级男性相关的单词通常是动词(例如,战斗,压倒性),而顶级女性相关的单词通常是形容词和副词(例如,奉献,情感上)。嵌入中的性别偏见也渗透到言论部分。第三,对于语义类别:自下而上,对与每个性别相关的前1000个单词的群集分析。与男性相关的顶级概念包括大技术,工程,宗教,体育和暴力的角色和领域;相比之下,顶级女性相关的概念较少关注角色,包括女性特定的诽谤和性内容以及外观和厨房用语。第四,使用〜20,000个单词词典的人类评级,唤醒和主导地位,我们发现与男性相关的单词在唤醒和优势上较高,而与女性相关的单词在价上更高。

State-of-the-art computer vision systems are trained to predict a fixed set of predetermined object categories. This restricted form of supervision limits their generality and usability since additional labeled data is needed to specify any other visual concept. Learning directly from raw text about images is a promising alternative which leverages a much broader source of supervision. We demonstrate that the simple pre-training task of predicting which caption goes with which image is an efficient and scalable way to learn SOTA image representations from scratch on a dataset of 400 million (image, text) pairs collected from the internet. After pre-training, natural language is used to reference learned visual concepts (or describe new ones) enabling zero-shot transfer of the model to downstream tasks. We study the performance of this approach by benchmarking on over 30 different existing computer vision datasets, spanning tasks such as OCR, action recognition in videos, geo-localization, and many types of fine-grained object classification. The model transfers non-trivially to most tasks and is often competitive with a fully supervised baseline without the need for any dataset specific training. For instance, we match the accuracy of the original ResNet-50 on ImageNet zero-shot without needing to use any of the 1.28 million training examples it was trained on. We release our code and pre-trained model weights at https://github.com/OpenAI/CLIP.

计算机视觉(CV)取得了显着的结果,在几个任务中表现优于人类。尽管如此,如果不正确处理,可能会导致重大歧视,因为CV系统高度依赖于他们所用的数据,并且可以在此类数据中学习和扩大偏见。因此,理解和发现偏见的问题至关重要。但是,没有关于视觉数据集中偏见的全面调查。因此,这项工作的目的是:i)描述可能在视觉数据集中表现出来的偏差; ii)回顾有关视觉数据集中偏置发现和量化方法的文献; iii)讨论现有的尝试收集偏见视觉数据集的尝试。我们研究的一个关键结论是,视觉数据集中发现和量化的问题仍然是开放的,并且在方法和可以解决的偏见范围方面都有改进的余地。此外,没有无偏见的数据集之类的东西,因此科学家和从业者必须意识到其数据集中的偏见并使它们明确。为此,我们提出了一个清单,以在Visual DataSet收集过程中发现不同类型的偏差。

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are in a period of astounding growth. However, there are concerns that these technologies may be used, either with or without intention, to perpetuate the prejudice and unfairness that unfortunately characterizes many human institutions. Here we show for the first time that human-like semantic biases result from the application of standard machine learning to ordinary language-the same sort of language humans are exposed to every day. We replicate a spectrum of standard human biases as exposed by the Implicit Association Test and other well-known psychological studies. We replicate these using a widely used, purely statistical machine-learning model-namely, the GloVe word embedding-trained on a corpus of text from the Web. Our results indicate that language itself contains recoverable and accurate imprints of our historic biases, whether these are morally neutral as towards insects or flowers, problematic as towards race or gender, or even simply veridical, reflecting the status quo for the distribution of gender with respect to careers or first names. These regularities are captured by machine learning along with the rest of semantics. In addition to our empirical findings concerning language, we also contribute new methods for evaluating bias in text, the Word Embedding Association Test (WEAT) and the Word Embedding Factual Association Test (WEFAT). Our results have implications not only for AI and machine learning, but also for the fields of psychology, sociology, and human ethics, since they raise the possibility that mere exposure to everyday language can account for the biases we replicate here.

Machine learning models are now able to convert user-written text descriptions into naturalistic images. These models are available to anyone online and are being used to generate millions of images a day. We investigate these models and find that they amplify dangerous and complex stereotypes. Moreover, we find that the amplified stereotypes are difficult to predict and not easily mitigated by users or model owners. The extent to which these image-generation models perpetuate and amplify stereotypes and their mass deployment is cause for serious concern.

有效的缩放和灵活的任务接口使大型语言模型能够在许多任务中表现出色。帕利(Pali)根据视觉和文本输入生成文本,并使用该界面以许多语言执行许多视觉,语言和多模式任务。为了训练帕利,我们利用了大型的编码器语言模型和视觉变压器(VITS)。这使我们能够利用其现有能力,并利用培训它们的大量成本。我们发现,视觉和语言组成部分的联合缩放很重要。由于现有的语言变压器比其视觉对应物要大得多,因此我们训练迄今为止最大的VIT(VIT-E),以量化甚至大容量视觉模型的好处。为了训练Pali,我们基于一个新的图像文本训练集,其中包含10B图像和文本,以100多种语言来创建大型的多语言组合。帕利(Pali)在多个视觉和语言任务(例如字幕,视觉问题,索方式,场景文本理解)中实现了最新的,同时保留了简单,模块化和可扩展的设计。

语言可以用作再现和执行有害刻板印象和偏差的手段,并被分析在许多研究中。在本文中,我们对自然语言处理中的性别偏见进行了304篇论文。我们分析了社会科学中性别及其类别的定义,并将其连接到NLP研究中性别偏见的正式定义。我们调查了在对性别偏见的研究中应用的Lexica和数据集,然后比较和对比方法来检测和减轻性别偏见。我们发现对性别偏见的研究遭受了四个核心限制。 1)大多数研究将性别视为忽视其流动性和连续性的二元变量。 2)大部分工作都在单机设置中进行英语或其他高资源语言进行。 3)尽管在NLP方法中对性别偏见进行了无数的论文,但我们发现大多数新开发的算法都没有测试他们的偏见模型,并无视他们的工作的伦理考虑。 4)最后,在这一研究线上发展的方法基本缺陷涵盖性别偏差的非常有限的定义,缺乏评估基线和管道。我们建议建议克服这些限制作为未来研究的指导。

The availability of large-scale image captioning and visual question answering datasets has contributed significantly to recent successes in vision-and-language pretraining. However, these datasets are often collected with overrestrictive requirements inherited from their original target tasks (e.g., image caption generation), which limit the resulting dataset scale and diversity. We take a step further in pushing the limits of vision-and-language pretraining data by relaxing the data collection pipeline used in Conceptual Captions 3M (CC3M) [70] and introduce the Conceptual 12M (CC12M), a dataset with 12 million image-text pairs specifically meant to be used for visionand-language pre-training. We perform an analysis of this dataset and benchmark its effectiveness against CC3M on multiple downstream tasks with an emphasis on long-tail visual recognition. Our results clearly illustrate the benefit of scaling up pre-training data for vision-and-language tasks, as indicated by the new state-of-the-art results on both the nocaps and Conceptual Captions benchmarks. 1

Despite being responsible for state-of-the-art results in several computer vision and natural language processing tasks, neural networks have faced harsh criticism due to some of their current shortcomings. One of them is that neural networks are correlation machines prone to model biases within the data instead of focusing on actual useful causal relationships. This problem is particularly serious in application domains affected by aspects such as race, gender, and age. To prevent models from incurring on unfair decision-making, the AI community has concentrated efforts in correcting algorithmic biases, giving rise to the research area now widely known as fairness in AI. In this survey paper, we provide an in-depth overview of the main debiasing methods for fairness-aware neural networks in the context of vision and language research. We propose a novel taxonomy to better organize the literature on debiasing methods for fairness, and we discuss the current challenges, trends, and important future work directions for the interested researcher and practitioner.

利用深度学习的最新进展,文本到图像生成模型目前具有吸引公众关注的优点。其中两个模型Dall-E 2和Imagen已经证明,可以从图像的简单文本描述中生成高度逼真的图像。基于一种称为扩散模型的新型图像生成方法,文本对图像模型可以生产许多不同类型的高分辨率图像,其中人类想象力是唯一的极限。但是,这些模型需要大量的计算资源来训练,并处理从互联网收集的大量数据集。此外,代码库和模型均未发布。因此,它可以防止AI社区尝试这些尖端模型,从而使其结果复制变得复杂,即使不是不可能。在本文中,我们的目标是首先回顾这些模型使用的不同方法和技术,然后提出我们自己的文本模型模型实施。高度基于DALL-E 2,我们引入了一些轻微的修改,以应对所引起的高计算成本。因此,我们有机会进行实验,以了解这些模型的能力,尤其是在低资源制度中。特别是,我们提供了比Dall-e 2的作者(包括消融研究)更深入的分析。此外,扩散模型使用所谓的指导方法来帮助生成过程。我们引入了一种新的指导方法,该方法可以与其他指导方法一起使用,以提高图像质量。最后,我们的模型产生的图像质量相当好,而不必维持最先进的文本对图像模型的重大培训成本。

Large-scale vision-language models such as CLIP have shown impressive performance on zero-shot image classification and image-to-text retrieval. However, such zero-shot performance of CLIP-based models does not realize in tasks that require a finer-grained correspondence between vision and language, such as Visual Question Answering (VQA). We investigate why this is the case, and report an interesting phenomenon of CLIP, which we call the Concept Association Bias (CAB), as a potential cause of the difficulty of applying CLIP to VQA and similar tasks. CAB is especially apparent when two concepts are present in the given image while a text prompt only contains a single concept. In such a case, we find that CLIP tends to treat input as a bag of concepts and attempts to fill in the other missing concept crossmodally, leading to an unexpected zero-shot prediction. For example, when asked for the color of a lemon in an image, CLIP predicts ``purple'' if the image contains a lemon and an eggplant. We demonstrate the Concept Association Bias of CLIP by showing that CLIP's zero-shot classification performance greatly suffers when there is a strong concept association between an object (e.g. lemon) and an attribute (e.g. its color). On the other hand, when the association between object and attribute is weak, we do not see this phenomenon. Furthermore, we show that CAB is significantly mitigated when we enable CLIP to learn deeper structure across image and text embeddings by adding an additional Transformer on top of CLIP and fine-tuning it on VQA. We find that across such fine-tuned variants of CLIP, the strength of CAB in a model predicts how well it performs on VQA.

我们介绍了自回归文本到图像(Parti)模型的途径,该模型生成高保真的影像图像并支持涉及复杂组成和世界知识的内容丰富的合成。 Parti将文本对图像生成视为类似于机器翻译的序列到序列建模问题,图像令牌的序列是目标输出,而不是其他语言的文本令牌。这种策略自然可以利用大型语言模型的先前工作,通过扩展数据和模型尺寸,能力和性能的持续进展。我们的方法很简单:首先,Parti使用基于变压器的图像令牌VIT-VQGAN将图像编码为离散令牌的序列。其次,我们通过将编码器二次变压器模型缩放到20B参数来实现一致的质量改进,其新的最新零弹药FID得分为7.23,而MS-Coco的FIDED得分为3.22。我们对本地化叙述以及党的详细分析(P2),这是1600多个英语提示的新的整体基准,证明了Parti在各种类别和难度方面的有效性。我们还探索并突出了我们的模型的局限性,以定义和体现关注重点领域以进一步改进。有关高分辨率图像,请参见https://parti.research.google/。
