Evaluation of Summarization Systems across Gender, Age, and Race
Anna Jørgensen | Anders Søgaard
Proceedings of the Third Workshop on New Frontiers in Summarization

Summarization systems are ultimately evaluated by human annotators and raters. Usually, annotators and raters do not reflect the demographics of end users, but are recruited through student populations or crowdsourcing platforms with skewed demographics. For two different evaluation scenarios – evaluation against gold summaries and system output ratings – we show that summary evaluation is sensitive to protected attributes. This can severely bias system development and evaluation, leading us to build models that cater for some groups rather than others.
