However, the two phenomena have not previously been studied in combination. The MARB dataset was developed to begin to fill this gap by studying the interaction between social biases and reporting bias in language models. Unlike many existing benchmark datasets, MARB does not rely on artificially constructed templates or crowdworkers to create contrasting examples. Instead, the templates used in MARB are based on naturally occurring written language from the 2021 version of the enTenTen corpus (Jakubíček et al., 2013).
