In this paper, we address the problem of automatic misogynous meme recognition by dealing with potentially biased elements that could lead to unfair models. In particular, a bias estimation technique is proposed to identify those textual and visual elements that unintendedly affect the model prediction, together with a naive bias mitigation strategy. The proposed approach is able to achieve good recognition performance characterized by promising generalization capabilities.

Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of automatic misogynous meme recognition by dealing with potentially biased elements that could lead to unfair models. In particular, a bias estimation technique is proposed to identify those textual and visual elements that unintendedly affect the model prediction, together with a naive bias mitigation strategy. The proposed approach is able to achieve good recognition performance characterized by promising generalization capabilities.
