EquiBERT — Report Framing Scorer

Model ID: SallySims/equibert-framing-scorer

Scores DEI reports and communications on equitable framing — detecting victim-blaming, minimisation, deflection, and structural vs individualist attribution of equity gaps.

Output Dimensions (all 0.0–1.0)

Index	Dimension	High score means...
0	`equity_score`	Overall equitable framing (main score)
1	`equity_framing`	Gaps attributed to structural causes
2	`minimisation`	Low = gap downplayed or dismissed
3	`deflection`	Low = responsibility avoided
4	`victim_blaming`	Low = individuals blamed for systemic gaps
5	`structural_awareness`	Root causes acknowledged
6	`data_transparency`	Disaggregated data used

Framing Examples

Text	Equity Score
"The pay gap reflects personal choices women make"	0.08
"The pay gap is complex and progress is being made"	0.41
"The pay gap reflects structural bias — root cause analysis identified..."	0.91

Model Description

EquiBERT is a multi-task DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) transformer built on a dual-encoder backbone that fuses RoBERTa-base and DeBERTa-v3-base via a learned weighted sum (α parameter). The fused representation is fed into task-specific heads covering 17 distinct DEI analysis tasks.

Organisation: SallySims Framework: PyTorch + HuggingFace Transformers Backbone: RoBERTa-base + DeBERTa-v3-base (dual encoder, fused) Language: English Domain: Organisational DEI text — HR communications, policies, job descriptions, performance reviews, leadership statements, reports

Training Data

Trained on synthetic DEI organisational text generated by the EquiBERT synthetic data pipeline, covering 20 DEI categories across HR, policy, leadership, and workforce analytics domains. For production use, fine-tune on real labelled DEI data.

Limitations

Trained on synthetic data — predictions should be validated before use in real HR or policy decisions.
English-only.
Not a substitute for qualified DEI practitioners or legal advice.
May reflect biases present in the training corpus.
