EquiBERT — Performance Review Auditor

Model ID: SallySims/equibert-review-auditor

Audits performance reviews for seven categories of bias language, identifying specific spans and producing an overall audit score.

Bias Categories Detected

Audit Score

1.0 = fully unbiased review / 0.0 = severely biased review

Usage

review = "Sarah can be abrasive under pressure but is a pleasure to work with."
inputs = tokenizer(review, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=256)
# outputs     = model(**inputs)
# bias_spans  = outputs.logits.argmax(-1)
# audit_score = outputs.hidden_states[0]   # 0-1

Model Description

EquiBERT is a multi-task DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) transformer built on a dual-encoder backbone that fuses RoBERTa-base and DeBERTa-v3-base via a learned weighted sum (α parameter). The fused representation is fed into task-specific heads covering 17 distinct DEI analysis tasks.

Organisation: SallySims Framework: PyTorch + HuggingFace Transformers Backbone: RoBERTa-base + DeBERTa-v3-base (dual encoder, fused) Language: English Domain: Organisational DEI text — HR communications, policies, job descriptions, performance reviews, leadership statements, reports

Training Data

Trained on synthetic DEI organisational text generated by the EquiBERT synthetic data pipeline, covering 20 DEI categories across HR, policy, leadership, and workforce analytics domains. For production use, fine-tune on real labelled DEI data.

Limitations

• Trained on synthetic data — predictions should be validated before use in real HR or policy decisions.
• English-only.
• Not a substitute for qualified DEI practitioners or legal advice.
• May reflect biases present in the training corpus.
