Video Demonstration
Video Script:
“This is an example of how our app functions. The landing page brings the user directly to the tool. The stationary portion at the top of the webpage provides the user with BIASCheck’s purpose along with how we define subjectivity. As the example I input is processing, I’ll navigate to our brief privacy statement tab where we explain we collect zero inputted data from the site. We recommend to the user to return to the page periodically to check for updates. On the About tab, we have a brief overview of what BIASCheck is and how the product evaluates the inputted text. We also provide links to our main website and to the dataset we used for training. Returning to our example, the first sentence has a score of less than 50% and therefore has returned as neutral, so no neutralized sentence is outputted. The second sentence has a score greater than 50% and was therefore determined to be biased. The neutralized sentence is displayed below. The last sentence was found to be neutral, so again no neutralized sentence is displayed. Below all of these, the user will see an overall average bias score for the entire input. Finally, we have a short disclaimer at the bottom of the page to cover that BIASCheck explicitly covers subjective biases only. This disclaimer is also featured at the end of our About page.”
