For the study, the Carnegie Mellon team used software from Pittsburg Pattern Recognition, or PittPat. Google bought that company last month. The software can recognize faces in photos and videos.
为了做这项研究，Carnegie Mellon大学研究小组使用了来自匹兹堡图像识别公司（PittPat）的软件。这家公司上个月被谷歌收购了。该软件可以识别出照片和视频中的人像。
The researchers did three experiments. First, they collected profile photos from a dating website. Its users try to protect their privacy by not listing their real name. But comparing their photos to pictures on Facebook identified one out of ten people.
研究人员们做了三个实验。在第一个实验中，他们从一家交友网站上收集了身份照片，该网站的用户为了保护自己的隐私并没有写出自己的真实姓名。但通过将他们的照片与Facebook上认证的照片进行对比，有1/10的用户被识别出来了。
In the second experiment, the Carnegie Mellon researchers asked permission to take pictures of students on campus. They compared these to photos on Facebook. This time they correctly identified one-third of the students.
在第二个实验中，Carnegie Mellon大学的研究人员拍摄了些校内学生的照片，再将其与他们Facebook上的照片做对比。这一次，他们准确地识别出了1/3的学生。
