| | # Icelandic Bias-Aware NER Dataset |
| |
|
| | **Trigger warning:** This dataset contains biased, offensive, or harmful language. Examples are included solely for research purposes. |
| |
|
| | ## Dataset Description |
| |
|
| | This dataset contains Icelandic sentences annotated for biased and potentially harmful expressions across 14 categories. It was developed to support research in fairness-oriented NLP, especially for low-resource languages. |
| |
|
| | ### Classes |
| | - **B-ADDICTION, I-ADDICTION** |
| | - **B-DISABILITY, I-DISABILITY** |
| | - **B-ORIGIN, I-ORIGIN** |
| | - **B-GENERAL, I-GENERAL** |
| | - **B-LGBTQIA, I-LGBTQIA** |
| | - **B-LOOKS, I-LOOKS** |
| | - **B-PERSONAL, I-PERSONAL** |
| | - **B-PROFANITY, I-PROFANITY** |
| | - **B-RELIGION, I-RELIGION** |
| | - **B-SEXUAL, I-SEXUAL** |
| | - **B-SOCIAL_STATUS, I-SOCIAL_STATUS** |
| | - **B-STUPIDITY, I-STUPIDITY** |
| | - **B-VULGAR, I-VULGAR** |
| | - **B-WOMEN, I-WOMEN** |
| |
|
| | Annotations follow the BIO scheme (e.g., `B-WOMEN`, `I-WOMEN`, `O`). |
| |
|
| | ### Contents |
| | - **all_balanced.txt**: 184,580 sentence examples created via weak supervision (lemmatized string matching against curated bias lexicon) |
| | -**dev.txt**: A development dataset sampled from all_balanced.txt. It includes 15,381 sentence examples. |
| | -**test.txt**: A testing dataset sampled from all_balanced.txt. It includes 15,383 sentence examples. |
| | -**train.txt**: A training dataset sampled from all_balanced.txt. It includes 153,816 sentence examples |
| | -**gold.txt** |
| |
|
| | **Automatically annotated set**: 15,383 sentences created via weak supervision (lemmatized string matching against curated bias lexicon) |
| | - **Gold set**: 190 manually reviewed sentence examples from sources not included in the training, testing or development sets. |
| |
|
| | ## Intended Uses & Limitations |
| |
|
| | ### Intended Use |
| | - Research on bias detection in Icelandic text |
| | - Training and evaluation of bias-aware NLP models |
| | - Educational purposes for raising awareness of bias in language |
| |
|
| | ### Limitations |
| | - Automatically annotated examples may include false positives and false negatives |
| | - Vocabulary-based matching may miss subtle, euphemistic, or emerging forms of bias |
| | - Gold set is relatively small |
| |
|
| | ⚠ **Not intended for punitive monitoring or censorship.** Outputs are prompts for reflection, not judgments. |
