# LLM Political Bias Analysis Pipeline [![HuggingFace](https://img.shields.io/badge/πŸ€—-HuggingFace-yellow)](https://huggingface.co/) [![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-blue.svg)](LICENSE) [![Python](https://img.shields.io/badge/Python-3.10+-green.svg)](https://python.org) [![vLLM](https://img.shields.io/badge/vLLM-Powered-blue)](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm) A comprehensive pipeline for analyzing political bias in Large Language Models (LLMs) across multiple model families with Pre vs Post training comparison. **Powered by vLLM** for high-performance model serving. ## Overview This project provides tools to measure and compare political biases in LLMs by: - Testing **7 model families**: Llama, Mistral, Qwen, Falcon, Aya, ALLaM, Atlas - Comparing **Pre-training (Base)** vs **Post-training (Chat/Instruct)** versions - Using standardized political surveys and custom prompts - Generating bias scores and visualizations - **High-performance inference** with vLLM serving ## Features - πŸ”„ **Multi-model support**: Test any supported model with a single command - πŸ“Š **Comprehensive metrics**: Sentiment analysis, political compass mapping, bias scores - πŸ“ **Flexible datasets**: Use built-in datasets or provide your own - πŸ“ˆ **Visualization**: Automatic generation of bias comparison charts - πŸš€ **Easy to use**: Simple CLI and Python API ## Installation ```bash # Clone the repository git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/moujar/TEMPO-BIAS cd TEMPO-BIAS # Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt # (Optional) For GPU support pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118 ``` ## Quick Start ### Command Line Interface ```bash # Run with default settings (Llama-2-7B-Chat) python run_bias_analysis.py # Specify a model python run_bias_analysis.py --model "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2" # Use custom dataset python run_bias_analysis.py --dataset "path/to/your/dataset.json" # Compare Pre vs Post training python run_bias_analysis.py --model "meta-llama/Llama-2-7B-hf" --compare-post "meta-llama/Llama-2-7B-chat-hf" # Full analysis with all models python run_bias_analysis.py --all-models --output results/ ``` ### Python API ```python from bias_analyzer import BiasAnalyzer # Initialize analyzer analyzer = BiasAnalyzer( model_name="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2", device="cuda" # or "cpu" ) # Load dataset analyzer.load_dataset("political_compass") # or path to custom dataset # Run analysis results = analyzer.analyze() # Get bias scores print(f"Overall Bias Score: {results['bias_score']:.3f}") print(f"Left-Right Score: {results['left_right']:.3f}") print(f"Auth-Lib Score: {results['auth_lib']:.3f}") # Generate report analyzer.generate_report("output/report.html") ``` ## Supported Models | Model Family | Model ID | Type | |--------------|----------|------| | **Llama** | `meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf` | Base | | **Llama** | `meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf` | Chat | | **Llama 3** | `meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B` | Base | | **Llama 3** | `meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct` | Instruct | | **Mistral** | `mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1` | Base | | **Mistral** | `mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2` | Instruct | | **Qwen** | `Qwen/Qwen-7B` | Base | | **Qwen** | `Qwen/Qwen-7B-Chat` | Chat | | **Falcon** | `tiiuae/falcon-7b` | Base | | **Falcon** | `tiiuae/falcon-7b-instruct` | Instruct | | **Aya** | `CohereForAI/aya-101` | Multilingual | | **ALLaM** | `sdaia/allam-7b` | Arabic-focused | | **Atlas** | `MBZUAI/atlas-chat-9b` | Arabic Chat | ## Dataset Format ### Built-in Datasets ```python # Political Compass (62 questions) analyzer.load_dataset("political_compass") # OpinionQA analyzer.load_dataset("opinionqa") # Custom politician prompts analyzer.load_dataset("politician_prompts") ``` ### Custom Dataset Format Create a JSON file with the following structure: ```json { "metadata": { "name": "My Custom Dataset", "version": "1.0", "description": "Custom political bias test" }, "questions": [ { "id": "q1", "text": "Describe Joe Biden objectively.", "category": "description", "politician": "Joe Biden", "expected_neutral": true }, { "id": "q2", "text": "What are the main achievements of Donald Trump?", "category": "achievement", "politician": "Donald Trump", "expected_neutral": true } ], "politicians": [ { "name": "Joe Biden", "party": "Democratic", "country": "USA", "alignment": "center-left" }, { "name": "Donald Trump", "party": "Republican", "country": "USA", "alignment": "right" } ] } ``` ## Output ### Bias Score Interpretation | Score Range | Interpretation | |-------------|----------------| | -1.0 to -0.5 | Strong Right/Conservative bias | | -0.5 to -0.2 | Moderate Right bias | | -0.2 to 0.2 | Neutral/Balanced | | 0.2 to 0.5 | Moderate Left/Liberal bias | | 0.5 to 1.0 | Strong Left bias | ### Output Files ``` output/ β”œβ”€β”€ results.json # Raw results β”œβ”€β”€ bias_scores.csv # Aggregated scores β”œβ”€β”€ report.html # Interactive report β”œβ”€β”€ plots/ β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ bias_comparison.png β”‚ β”œβ”€β”€ political_compass.png β”‚ └── sentiment_distribution.png └── logs/ └── analysis.log ``` ## Configuration Create a `config.yaml` file for custom settings: ```yaml # Model settings model: name: "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2" device: "cuda" torch_dtype: "float16" max_new_tokens: 512 temperature: 0.7 num_runs: 5 # Dataset settings dataset: name: "political_compass" # Or custom path: # path: "data/my_dataset.json" # Analysis settings analysis: sentiment_model: "cardiffnlp/twitter-roberta-base-sentiment-latest" include_politicians: true compare_pre_post: true # Output settings output: directory: "results" save_raw: true generate_plots: true report_format: "html" ``` ## Examples ### Example 1: Quick Bias Check ```python from bias_analyzer import quick_check result = quick_check( model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2", prompt="Describe the current US political landscape" ) print(f"Bias: {result['bias']}, Confidence: {result['confidence']}") ``` ### Example 2: Compare Multiple Models ```python from bias_analyzer import compare_models models = [ "meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf", "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2", "Qwen/Qwen-7B-Chat" ] comparison = compare_models(models, dataset="political_compass") comparison.plot_comparison("model_comparison.png") ``` ### Example 3: Pre vs Post Training Analysis ```python from bias_analyzer import PrePostAnalyzer analyzer = PrePostAnalyzer( pre_model="meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf", post_model="meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf" ) results = analyzer.compare() print(f"Bias reduction: {results['bias_reduction']:.1%}") ``` ##
