Critical studies found NLP systems to bias based on gender and racial identities. However, few studies focused on identities defined by cultural factors like religion and nationality. Compared to English, such research efforts are even further limited in major languages like Bengali due to the unavailability of labeled datasets. Our paper (see the reference) describes a process for developing a bias evaluation dataset highlighting cultural influences on identity. We also provide this Bengali dataset as an artifact outcome that can contribute to future critical research.
