Bias detection in LLMOps: Embedding ID&E into LLM lifecycles (IDE204)

Here is a detailed summary of the video transcription in markdown format, broken down into sections for better readability:

Understanding Bias

  • Bias definition: An inclination of unreasoned judgment, a statistical estimate or deviation, and a systematic error.
  • Common fairness metrics: Equal opportunity, equalized odds, and demographic parity.
  • Example of bias in facial recognition: Gender Shades study showed significant misclassification of gender, especially for darker-skinned females.

Bias in Machine Learning Life Cycle

  • Data processing: Ensuring diverse and representative data to avoid biased models.
  • Challenges with large language models (LLMs):
    • Opaque data sources and model architectures.
    • Reliance on transfer learning from potentially biased "parent" models.
    • Cultural and contextual awareness issues when deploying LLMs globally.

Bias in Model Development

  • Model architecture, hyperparameter tuning, and objective/loss functions can introduce bias.
  • Importance of keeping humans in the loop for monitoring and mitigation.

Strategies for Bias Mitigation

For Traditional Machine Learning Models

  • Model monitoring for concept drift, data drift, and model drift.
  • Fairness audits and user feedback/reporting mechanisms.

For Large Language Models

  • Adversarial testing to identify vulnerabilities.
  • Using Amazon Bedrock guardrails and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) models.

Industry Resources

  • Anthropic's "Constitutional AI" approach.
  • Stanford's "Human-Centered AI Index" chapter on responsible AI.
  • AWS Science Blog for publications on bias mitigation.
