Text-to-image models are known to propagate social biases. For example, when prompted to generate images of people in certain professions, these models tend to systematically generate specific genders or ethnicities. In this paper, we show that this bias is already present in the text encoder of the model and introduce a Mixture-of-Experts approach by identifying text-encoded bias in the latent space and then creating a Bias-Identification Gate mechanism. More specifically, we propose MoESD (Mixture of Experts Stable Diffusion) with BiAs (Bias Adapters) to mitigate gender bias in text-to-image models. We also demonstrate that introducing an arbitrary special token to the prompt is essential during the mitigation process. With experiments focusing on gender bias, we show that our approach successfully mitigates gender bias while maintaining image quality. |
