Widespread adoption of applications powered by large language models such as BERT and GPT highlights concerns within the community about the impact of unintended bias that such models can inherit from training data. For example, past work reports evidence of LLMs that proliferate gender stereotypes, as well as geographical and racial bias. Previous approaches have focused on data pre-processing techniques or techniques that attempt to debias embeddings directly with substantial disadvantages in terms of increased resource requirements, annotation efforts as well as limitations in terms of applicability to a sufficient range of bias types. In this paper, we propose REFINE-LM, a post-hoc filtering of bias using Reinforcement learning that is model architecture as well as bias-type agnostic. Experiments across a range of models, including DistillBERT, BERT and RoBERTa, show the proposed method to (i) substantially reduce stereotypical bias while preserving language model performance; (ii) achieve applicability to a wide range of bias types, generalizing across contexts such as gender, ethnicity, religion, and nationality-based biases; (iii) a reduction in required training resources.
