Code

1. Analysis Pipeline. We demostrate our analysis framework for Personal Life section in personal-life-reproduce.ipynb, where you can find the code for key steps that we are using in the paper, including Acquire templates by name swaping, odds ratio calculation, replicate figures as Figure1, and etc .
2. WEAT calculation. The code for replicating our WEAT calculation is under WEAT.py, please see how to use in ./weat.sh to replicate the result. You can simply change the list of dictionary in artists.json and use our script to measure the associated gender bias of any two lists of attributes.
