This bias is introduced in natural language via inflammatory words and phrases, casting doubt over facts, and presupposing the truth. In this work, we perform comprehensive experiments for detecting subjective bias using BERT-based models on the Wiki Neutrality Corpus(WNC). The dataset consists of $360k$ labeled instances, from Wikipedia edits that remove various instances of the bias. We further propose BERT-based ensembles that outperform state-of-the-art methods like $BERT_{large}$ by a margin of $5.6$ F1 score.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.06644v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.06644v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"towards-detection-of-subjective-bias-using","repo_url":"https://github.com/tanvidadu/Subjective-Bias-Detection","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"bias-detection","task_name":"Bias Detection"},{"task_slug":"propaganda-detection","task_name":"Propaganda detection"},{"task_slug":"sentiment-analysis","task_name":"Sentiment Analysis"},{"task_slug":"word-embeddings","task_name":"Word Embeddings"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[{"leaderboard":"/sota/bias-detection-on-wiki-neutrality-corpus","task":"Bias Detection","dataset":"Wiki Neutrality Corpus","model":"RoBERTa+ALBERT","rank_in_archive_order":1,"of":1,"metrics":{"F1":"70.4"},"uses_additional_data":false}],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/2002.06644","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2002.06644","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
