我是搞语言处理和自动情报调查的,在评论人和问题之前,习惯于做个调查,看看舆论都是怎么说的,对我们论述有没有什么启示。圣人云,三人行,必有我师。如果是三百万人、三千万人的言论,只要不被淹死,其中必有高见/洞见/流行见解。这是大数据社会调查自动化的价值所在。
我们利用同样的语言技术(NLP)支持,不仅开发了舆情挖掘的工具,可以抽取对任一话题的褒贬情绪和优劣得失,在此之前我们还开发了一个产品,可以从大数据中抽取、分类和汇集任一问题的解决方案(solutions),answering how questions。既然大龄单身女青年被普遍认为是一个社会难题,何不先借助此工具挖掘一下大数据中提过怎样的解决方法。
可惜的是,那个工具目前只有英语的系统在运行。中文 NLP 技术开发以来,我们一直集中在舆情挖掘的应用上,解决方案的应用由于时间和资源的限制,还没有提到议事日程上来。所谓“剩女”现象,作为社会问题而被热议,很大程度上是中国独有的。外国当然也有大龄单身女青年这样的“剩女”,也有现代社会过度竞争催生剩女的共同的大背景,但是作为一个社会现象和社会话题,远远没有国人那么聚焦。因此,要在英语世界做这项寻找解决方案的自动社会调查,其结果可能有偏差,但也不妨一试。于是,我把 older unmarried women 作为问题提交给我们的问答系统,得到了下述解决方案的汇集,我们择要例示并附加翻译和简短评价如下:
embryo banking (胚胎库)
social support (社会支持:这个确很重要,要支持,不要压力)
support from friend (朋友的支持:对,亲友的支持安慰可以缓解压力)
WEDDING (结婚:废话,不是没有合适对象么?总不能太勉强自己吧,为结婚而结婚)
Age Insurance (养老保险:如果单身一辈子,这个可能确实要予以重视,否则晚景太凄凉)
Allowance (赡养费:到哪里去领?)
Combination chemotherapy (联合化疗:似乎没用,这个问题不是物理疾病,如果病了,也是心病)
Double-income retirement (双薪退休:还是单身退休问题)
Emergency Contraception (紧急避孕:大龄单身有孕,问题复杂了)
Fox competition (福克斯竞争:???)
Heroin Craving (海洛因:不建议,可以麻痹一时,情形只会更糟)
abortion (流产:似乎还是说单身有孕不能成婚的情形)
additional bare metal stent implantation (额外的裸金属支架植入术:有什么好处?)
adjuvant chemotherapy (辅助化疗:说了,化疗没用)
adoption (收养:这个建议非常好,结婚成家主要动因之一是子女绕膝,享受天伦之乐,如果不能成婚,收养孤儿是一个极好的选项)
age appropriate choice (年龄合适的选择:没有啊,问题不就在这里嘛)
age difference (年龄差异:似乎是建议跳过自己年龄段去寻找结婚对象,也许在特定情形下也是一个办法)
appropriate DNA probe (合适的DNA探针)
artificial insemination (人工授精:是为了要自己的孩子,可以考虑,可能太复杂,费用也贵)
assisted reproduction (辅助生殖技术:如上)
association (社交:很好的建议,多交往,做一个快乐的单身)
attempt to escape (试图逃脱:逃得了吗?父母亲友的催促、社会的压力,不容易)
attribute criticism to bias (视批评为偏见:不失为一个对策)
become mother (成为母亲:是的,无论收养也好,人工受孕也好,成为母亲是解决单身未婚困扰的一个很好的建议,虽然不能成婚,至少可以成家,不失为退而求其次的良策。子女绕膝的小家庭的温暖可以化解很多忧虑,当然,单亲家庭也有诸多经济压力,甜蜜中有超出常人的辛苦在,人生啊人生)
...........
(原始结果很长,列于文末的【附录】;如果想认真研究的话,每个解决方案都可以 drill down 去看这种提法的上下文,然后予以总结对比;不过本文不过借此作为引子谈生活中所观察到的剩女去向的话题,就不再深入探究西方世界的说法了)。
简单说明一下:我们的解决方案自动问答系统偏重查全(recall)而不是查准(precision),因此不免有 noise 混杂进来。这个策略是因为一个自动问答系统是不可能真正提出如何解决问题的答案来。系统的结果只是提供给研究者作为参考,他们要在众多的结果中遴选有启发的子集进行进一步探究,最后消化酝酿出研究报告作为决策的参考。
