MABPD is a new approach for bias detection and identification in multi-agent systems without supervision. This approach consists of three specialized large language model agents, which analyze text content through a structured deliberation debate (SAD) protocol. In the BABE benchmark, this approach achieved a macro F1 score of 83.4%. Its core mechanisms include applying domain-driven asymmetric burden of proof and a role-weighted voting mechanism. A ablation experiment showed that removing the debate module resulted in a decrease of up to 10.6 points in the F1 score, proving that structured deliberation is crucial for performance improvement. In zero-sample evaluations on the SemEval 2019 HyperPartisan corpus, the accuracy was 75.0%, a difference of 7.2 percentage points from the most advanced supervised methods. The authors have made the entire processing pipeline and evaluation code available publicly.
