This post explores how bias can creep into word embeddings like word2vec, and I thought it might make it more fun (for me, at least) if I analyze a model trained on what you, my readers (all three of you), might have written.
Often when we talk about bias in word embeddings, we are talking about such things as bias against race or sex. But I’m going to talk about bias a little bit more generally to explore attitudes we have that are manifest in the words we use about any number of topics.
