Search bias quantification: investigating political bias in social media and web search
2018
Information retrieval (Boston)
Users frequently use search systems on the Web as well as online social media to learn about ongoing events and public opinion on personalities. Prior studies have shown that the top-ranked results returned by these search engines can shape user opinion about the topic (e.g., event or person) being searched.
