Abstract: As the world accelerates towards digitization, natural language generation (NLG) is becom ing a critical ingredient of common AI systems like Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri. How- ever, many recent studies have highlighted that machine learning models employed in NLG often inherit and amplify the societal biases in data – including gender bias. This paper aims to achieve gender parity in natural lan- guage models by analyzing and mitigating gen- der bias. An open-source corpus has been used to train and fine-tune the GPT-2 model, following which text is generated from prompts to investigate and mitigate the bias. Domain Adaptive Pretraining is used as the primary technique to counter the bias and the paper evaluates its effectiveness in contrast to other methods. Lastly, the impact of domain adaptation on the performance of the natural lan- guage model is looked at through perplexity of the de-biased model obtained. Through em- pirical and in-depth assessment of gender bias, this study provides a foundation for ameliorat- ing gender equality in the digitalspace
