Children of English-speaking families growing up in America generally

learn to speak English. Yet a child raised in Louisiana will sound very

different from a child raised in the Bronx. The same is true of neural

the same thing, yet the networks may perform quite differently in

some ways. The subtle prejudices inherent in an experimental design

can creep into the network's mind, influencing it in ways that, for

better or for worse, may be apparent only to outside observers. This
