A Review of Text Debiasing Technologies Based on Causal Analy-sis
摘要
Abstract
Deep learning model in Natural Language Processing(NLP)task is prone to misidentifying surface-level correlations as causal relationships.This leads to the continuous accumulation of biases derived from linguistic patterns,label co-occurrences,and corpus distribution,which ultimately undermines the mod-els' generalization,fairness,and interpretability.Consequently,there is an urgent need for systematic de-bia-sing mechanisms to eliminate these biases.The text debiasing technology based on causal analysis have grad-ually developed in this context.This paper systematically reviews the development process of debiasing tech-nology from empirical paradigms such as data augmentation and regularization to causal graph-driven para-digm.Through the"causal graph modeling—effect estimation—causal intervention"method for text tasks,the bias problem in text tasks is systematically analyzed and dealt with.On this basis,we focus on three ma-instream technical paths of counterfactual debiasing,back-door adjustment and front-door adjustment.At the task level,text classification,sentiment analysis and fact verification are selected as representative scenarios,and the typical debiasing methods of the three technical paths are correspondingly discussed.The typical methods are compared and analyzed from bias types,debiasing methods,advantages and limitations of core in-tervention strategies.Based on the existing research,the author believes that the current causal text debiasing technology still has the following problems.There is still a lack of multi-source biases collaborative model-ing.The generation of counterfactual samples is difficult to strike a balance between semantic preservation and generation cost.The causal structure relies too much on expert priors.Scalability is limited in multi-hop reasoning,cross-lingual and multimodal scenarios.In view of the above shortcomings,this article proposes some improvement measures from the aspects of unified multi-source causal modeling,high-quality counter-factual generation with semantic preservation,automated causal structure learning with robust effect estima-tion as well as lightweight causal debiasing mechanism for large-scale models and large-scale applications.The research prospect of deep integration of causal reasoning with large language model and multimodal model is prospected.关键词
