Practice ML | Build a bias detector application

Bias is prevalent in every aspect of our lives. Our brains are hardwired to categorize things we encounter in order to make sense of the complicated world around us. However, biases can cause us to form prejudices against others, which allows for egregious inequalities to form between different demographics. While bias comes in many forms, bias words in writing is one form. Implicit bias in letter writing or evaluations negatively affects individuals at every stage of their career. In this challenge, we are inviting to build a solution for detecting bias in writings such as letter of recommendations, Job Descriptions etc with respect to gender and race for promoting equity. You can choose any topic of your choice. So how can you build a Bias Detector?

The answer is in this 60 min Virtual Lab using the kandi 1-click solution kit. You will have a working model at the end of the session!

@veera_krishna, please send us a screenshot of the error that you encountered

@veera_krishna, If you are not able to download the kit and facing an error for connection timeout:

Problem
(automatic DNS server address of ISP (Jio -FIBER) has blocked raw.githubusercontent.com from accessing.)

Solution
Set Jio Wifi network DNS Address to “Manual” instead of Automatic and change the DNS server address to that of free servers like Google or Cloudflare by changing the Network Settings.
