论文摘要
在这项工作中，我们旨在调查位置（不同国家）对搜索结果中偏见的影响。为此，我们在英国和美国使用Google和Bing的搜索结果。查询集由从Procon.org获得的有争议的查询组成，这些查询具有保守或自由主义的特定意识形态倾向。在先前的工作中，研究人员根据立场和意识形态偏见分析了搜索结果，并采取了基于等级和相关性的措施。然而，在这项工作的范围内，通过使用有争议的查询的查询子集，我们检查了位置对偏差存在的影响以及Bing和Google之间偏差差异的幅度。请注意，这项研究遵循类似的评估程序。我们的初步结果表明，位置可能会影响搜索引擎的检索性能，以及Bing和Google返回的搜索结果中的偏见，朝着有争议的查询。
In this work, we aim to investigate the impact of location (different countries) on bias in search results. For this, we use the search results of Google and Bing in the UK and US locations. The query set is composed of controversial queries obtained from ProCon.org that have specific ideological leanings as conservative or liberal. In a previous work, researchers analyse search results in terms of stance and ideological bias with rank and relevance based measures. Yet, in the scope of this work, by using the query subset of controversial queries we examine the effect of location on the existence of bias as well as the magnitude of bias difference between Bing and Google. Note that this study follows a similar evaluation procedure. Our preliminary results show that location might affect the retrieval performance of search engines as well as the bias in the search results returned by Bing and Google towards the controversial queries.
