Overview

Benchmarking bias-mitigation strategies and exploring the reasoning versus bias trade-off in MLLMs.

Key Points

  • A 1:4 mix using reinforcement learning reduces stereotype scores by 10%, while keeping 88% of reasoning accuracy.
  • We benchmark three bias-mitigation techniques: supervised fine-tuning, knowledge distillation, and reinforcement learning.
  • The findings provide a framework for balancing reasoning and bias in multimodal large language models.
  • Exploring these strategies reveals a method to improve logical performance without enhancing bias.
