Explanation
When developing and deploying Large Language Models (LLMs), addressing fairness and bias is crucial for ethical AI deployment. The two most appropriate actions from the options are:
A. Include fairness metrics for model evaluation - This is essential to measure and monitor the model's performance across different demographic groups and ensure it doesn't produce biased outputs.
C. Modify the training data to mitigate bias - Since bias often originates from training data, addressing bias at the data level is a fundamental approach to creating fairer models.
Why other options are not the best choices:
- B. Adjust the temperature parameter of the model - While temperature affects randomness in outputs, it doesn't directly address fairness or bias issues.
- D. Avoid overfitting on the training data - This is a general machine learning best practice but not specifically about fairness in LLM deployment.
- E. Apply prompt engineering techniques - While prompt engineering can help guide model behavior, it's a workaround rather than addressing the root causes of bias in the model itself.
Best Practices for Fair LLM Development:
- Data curation and preprocessing to identify and mitigate biases
- Fairness-aware model training with appropriate loss functions
- Comprehensive evaluation using fairness metrics across different groups
- Continuous monitoring in production to detect emerging biases
- Transparent documentation of model limitations and biases
