| Mar 16, 2019 at 19:25 | comment | added | P.S. | @duttaa: what does "what people of your heritage search" have to do with what I need to search and which of my two major heritages (or 15 based on my 21 & me) ?? | |

| Feb 25, 2019 at 12:22 | comment | added | user9947 | @P.S. maybe it is incorrect for you, but correct for someone else. So it is really subjective. I do not know whether they recommend on the basis of your a.)heritage or b.)what people of your heritage search, so i cannot comment whether google's generalisation is correct. But in the case of b.) I would take google's side. | |
| Feb 24, 2019 at 23:13 | comment | added | P.S. | @duttaa: I understand that but it is clearly connecting the dots incorrectly to the reality I live in.. and in a constricting and narrow unhelpful way. I don't speak Vietnamese, i can maybe understand a handful of words at best. and I don't even understand what a Vietnamese home entails. | |

| Feb 16, 2019 at 13:52 | comment | added | Neil Slater | @DuttaA: You can remove unwanted bias systematically from a statistical model if you also have a statistical model of the bias. For instance any NLP system that associates non-gendered words (like "doctor") in skewed ways to gender pronouns can have a loss function adjusted to prevent this effect, assuming it is unwanted for the purpose of the model. This can be done, and have seen in a training course - may write an answer about this | |
| Feb 16, 2019 at 13:44 | comment | added | user9947 | @NeilSlater IMO if we remove the statistical nature of ML then it is not ML anymore. But here I have told the OP to make sure there are no other ways of bias creeping in like 1.) Search history of family members. 2.) Google reading emails. 3.) Google location tracking with the people you are hanging out with and then recommending based on their family members. Basically I think Google is very good at connecting dots rather than ML approach as it'll require continuous intensive training of huge amts of data. (It's a speculation tho) | |
| Feb 16, 2019 at 13:37 | comment | added | Neil Slater | @DuttA: Creators of NLP and face recognition algorithms do recognise unwanted bias creeping into their models. These models reflect the biases of the media that they consume, statistically. For instance, if you do word "math" you end up finding the female analog to a male doctor is a nurse (and many other examples where NLP model subtly demotes female roles). There are things that can be done about it at the model-building end, that may also apply here. | |

| Feb 15, 2019 at 19:59 | comment | added | user9947 | 'The issue is I have never searched for that but because of my last name the model is creating this context' How did you came to this conclusion? Google is not racist, it is simply connecting dots. It has enough info about you (speculation) to give your approximate family tree. It probably curates searches based on searches by your family members. Google pretty much reads all your emails and let's third parties read it too. So before coming to the conclusion that google is racist, you have to provide for sure that google had no other way of knowing you are vietnamese other than ur last name. | |
