And in a Friday blog post, Tamar Yehoshua, Google's vice president of product management in charge of the site's search feature, further explained that the autocomplete feature will not offer up derogatory terms in relation to any person.
并且,负责谷歌搜索功能的产品管理副总裁塔玛尔•耶霍舒亚周五发表了一篇博客,进一步解释说自动补全功能不会提供有关任何人的贬低性词语.
"The autocomplete algorithm is designed to avoid completing a search for a person's name with terms that are offensive or disparaging," Yehoshua wrote. "We made this change a while ago following feedback that Autocomplete too often predicted offensive, hurtful or inappropriate queries about people. This filter operates according to the same rules no matter who the person is."
"我们设计的自动补全算法是为了避免搜索人名的时候填补的是有攻击性或毁谤性的词语,"耶霍舒亚写道."这样的改变是不久前才开始实行的,因为我们得到反�.底远谷δ茉げ獾淖苁怯泄セ餍缘摹⑸巳说拇视锘虿磺〉钡闹室�.不管是什么人,这种过滤功能都以同样的准则运行."
Yehoshua emphasized that autocomplete terminology "isn't an exact science" and the results of the algorithm "changes frequently."
耶霍舒亚强调称,自动补全词语"不是精密的科学",而且算法的结果"经常会变."
"Predictions are produced based on a number of factors including the popularity and freshness of search terms," he added. "Given that search activity varies, the terms that appears in Autocomplete for you may change over time."
"预测基于许多因素产生,包括搜索词条的热度和新鲜度,"他补充道."鉴于搜索活动千差万别,给你的自动填补词语也许过段时间也会改变."
Further, the Google executive noted that while autocomplete predictions are a popular search feature, it does not actively limit the search results.
而且,这位谷歌副总裁提到,尽管自动补全预测是非常受欢迎的搜索功能,但并没有主动地限制搜索结果.
"It's a shortcut for those who are interested," Yehoshua said. "You can still perform whatever search you want to."
"对喜欢它的人来说这是一条捷径,"耶霍舒亚说."你依然可以搜索任何你想搜索的内容."
SourceFed later came out with a follow-up video published Friday to explain the thought process behind their original accusations and defended its results.
之后,SourceFed周五又发布了一个后续的视频,出来解释他们当初指控背后的思维过程,并为他们发现的结果进行了辩护.
"We saw something that raised a lot of red flags for us so we spent time doing research -- the results of which were worth sharing," Lieberman, the SourceFed host, said.
"我们看到了一些引起我们注意的事情,所以我们花了一些时间做调查——调查结果值得与大家分享," SourceFed的掌门人利伯曼说.
