+# Bias in Bios
+
+Bias in Bios was created by (De-Artega et al., 2019) and published under the MIT license (https://github.com/microsoft/biosbias). The dataset is used to investigate bias in NLP models. It consists of textual biographies used to predict professional occupations, the sensitive attribute is the gender (binary). 
+
+The version shared here is the version proposed by (Ravgofel et al., 2020) which slightly smaller due to the unavailability of 5,557 biographies. 
+
+The dataset is divided between train (257,000 samples), test (99,000 samples) and dev (40,000 samples) sets.
+
+Below are presented the classifiaction and sensitive attribtues labels and their proportion. Distributions are similar through the three sets.
+
