<!-- Toxicity prevents us from safely deploying powerful pretrained language models for real-world applications. To reduce toxicity in language models, in this post, we will delve into three aspects of the problem: training dataset collection, toxic content detection and model detoxification. --> <p>Large pretrained <a href="https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2019-01-31-lm/">language models</a> are trained over a sizable collection of online data. They unavoidably acquire certain toxic behavior
