從小機房大躍進!Google搜尋引擎20年來進步了多少

Google搜尋引擎誕生廿年了!搜尋已是人們擷取資訊的重要管道,隨時隨地都可Google一下。隨著人工智慧技術持續進展,搜尋引擎在未來世界中還有許多發展可能。
廿年前,可能無法想像一個簡潔的搜索框,就可以引領我們探索全世界資訊。Google搜尋從幾台主機,收錄二千五百萬網頁的索引,大約就是小型圖書館的書籍量開始。如今透過全球布局的數據中心、百萬伺服器與高速網路連結,可以快速搜尋四十億網路使用者產出的數千億網頁,搜尋引擎從此改變人類認知新事物與擷取資訊的方式。
對長期從事搜尋技術研究的我來說,這廿年的科技演變像是參與一趟奇幻旅程,親身見證許多帶點神奇色彩的科學家與工程師,把搜尋打造成為聯結人與知識的智慧服務、把地球縮小、讓世界資訊平民化,對人類社會產生超乎預期的影響。
然而讓搜尋引擎得以如此精采,不僅是資訊科技的突破,更關鍵是得利於網際網路的開放與資訊共享的精神,這使得原本分散各地的知識得以分享,資訊落差能縮減。而搜尋引擎開發者也逐漸從純粹科技人角色,變成得擔負更多社會責任的知識工作者。
隨著資訊持續累積與科技進步,搜尋可以做的事愈來愈多,例如透過跨語言翻譯,打破各種語言及文化的隔閡,以及接受自然語言的表達,回答一些簡單的問題。搜尋引擎逐漸從被動聽命的引擎角色,開始轉變成更智慧的代理人(agent)的概念,從用戶的使用習性不斷學習,提供更主動式搜尋,像是會議提醒、回家路線建議等,讓生活愈來愈便利。
搜尋技術更進一步來到一個語音驅動(Voice enabled)的全新時代。今天,有超過五分之一的Google搜尋是通過語音完成的。使用者分別透過手機及智慧音箱的語音助理功能,體驗更即時、自然的使用經驗,例如使用語音控制家中電器、購買商品、訂機票等。根據市調公司ComScore預測,這類智慧型服務會愈來愈普及,到了二○二○年有將近五成搜尋會透過語音方式來進行。
這樣的語音互動情境,台灣使用者也有機會體驗與想像。十月起Google開始推出台灣版的語音助理。Google不少智慧服務,不只能聽英文,開始也能透過中文語音方式溝通,例如鬧鐘設定、天氣詢問、行事曆查詢等。隨著服務經驗持續累積,相信很快Google助理就能更加在地,能為使用者解答的問題也將更多。
不過,搜尋引擎過於便利,也衍生一些問題。儘管搜尋之前人人平等,但每個人善用科技動機與能力不同,受惠程度就有差。早期大家覺得網路搜尋能力不夠成熟,會學習如何下關鍵字、並鑑別資訊的正確性,但現在不少人發現搜尋很強大,就將找尋資料責任交給搜尋引擎,有時反而變成「garbage in, garbage out(將錯誤的、無意義的資料輸入電腦系統,電腦也輸出錯誤、無意義的結果)」。
還有是台灣使用者習慣搜尋中文,與英文資訊的連結度太低。許多人身處無遠弗屆網路世界,但受限於語言能力與習慣,所能擷取的資訊往往有其侷限。以醫療健康資訊為例,西方國家的醫學發展較早、會有較多寶貴的個案資料可供參考,如果台灣使用者只使用中文搜尋,自然難以觸及這些資訊。
搜尋引擎的發展將會持續,其對人類社會的影響也日益加重,自然得擔負起更多的社會責任,不管是跨語言、跨文化、維持言論自由、縮減資訊落差等方面,搜尋引擎在未來仍有不少值得努力空間。

麻煩大家幫忙
留下優秀的一家人
他們來自波多黎各
父母親都是名校約翰霍普金大學的電腦碩士
(Master Degree in Computer Science - Johns Hopkins University at Laurel, MD)
他們著五個孩子,到全世界學習
Diego 17歲 Paula 13 歲 Alonzo 12 歲
Felizi 8 歲 Matteo 6 歲
八月,他們到了台灣
發覺這是一個非常適合的生活環境
有好的醫療、中文學習環境、電腦產業、和超好吃的水果
九月,Diego , Paula, Alonzo進入惠文高中寄讀
他們來了之後,學校形成一個很棒的英語學習情境
台灣學生都被迫用英文跟他們互動
星期五與台北歌德學院簽訂德國「PASCH夥伴學校」時
他們三個和學校弦樂社一起合奏卡農(見影片)
非常非常有教養的一家人
然而他們11月就必須離開台灣
因為他們來台灣的第五天
得到美國總公司的通知
他們收掉波多黎各的公司
爸爸Tommy失業了
所以這幾天,他在台中接一個英文家教
但經濟仍是問題
如果台中的朋友可以提供11月4日前的短期英文、西班牙文家教工作
或是提供長期電腦工程師的工作
麻煩和Tommy聯絡
以下是他的聯絡方式及完整資歷
(願意幫他們申請工作簽證更好)
他們很願意把台灣當成第二個家
PS
覺得政府說要把英文變成第二語言
最棒的方式是吸引國外的學生進入我們的校園
在人才即國力的年代
讓優秀的國際人才留在台灣
如果在台灣就有很好的英語學習環境
我們就不用一窩蜂跑到國外

Systems & System Software Solutions
Web Developer / Web Master for the Department of Veterans Affairs in DC
Mr. Irizarry developed a web based application for the State Home Per Diem Office, which manages millions of dollars in payments to the state homes, to replace an Access database. The Access database was converted to MS SQL Server database and all data was migrated successfully. He created a web based interface using the standard VA intranet look and feel. He also developed a custom interface for each of the 3 roles (CBO, VAMC and VISN). Tools were built for the administrator to view current reports, view missing reports lists, and configure many parameters in the application. The VAMC report form was heavily automated using jQuery to perform auto calculations, increasing data validation and saving time to the users. After the application was launched users commented frequently about how user friendly is the new interface and about the time savings. Tasks that will take 2 hours to be completed now take 15 minutes. We have close to 12,000 reports in the system.
There were various requests to the IT office for a web based training registration system of different types. Mr. Irizarry developed a registration system which was later used for the following projects: Take your child to work day, New Telephone system training registration, Laptop Hard Drive encryption software upgrade among others.
Developed an alternate cascading style sheet for SharePoint 2007, converting the out of the box look and feel to the Department of Veterans Affairs standard website look and feel.
After one of the VA’s laptops was stolen Mr. Irizarry worked to develop a Risk Assessment web based application. He created an Excel template which management will upload to an FTP server with information and details about remote employee access and the sensibility of the data accessed by those users. He also created VB Scripts to validate those Excel files an upload that information into an MS SQL database. Reports for upper management in Central Office were then created which prompted management to enforce stronger security measures, like hard drives encryption. In total more than 500,000 records were processed for the reports.
Administration of IIS 6.0 web server and MS SQL Server databases used in our websites.
Wrote migration scripts to move IIS 6.0 sites into a new IIS 7.5 server

TOKENEER is a test platform for the integration of smart cards, biometrics (fingerprint, hand, iris and facial recognition) and a public key infrastructure. Development was done on Windows NT workstations using Visual C++ and Visual SourceSafe for source control. Mr. Irizarry used an SDK to capture and match fingerprints against a database of fingerprints. He also created software to created some statistics of “False Accepts and False Reject Rates” of the fingerprint. He also worked with other team members to identify which fingerprints characteristics could affect those rates. He then added error detection functions to the fingerprint recognition software to identify corrupted files of fingerprint images
