Can Trailers Help to Alleviate Popularity Bias in Choice-Based Preference Elicitation?

چکیده
Previous research showed that choice-based preference elicitation can be successfully used to reduce effort during user cold start, resulting in an improved user satisfaction with the recommender system. However, it has also been shown to result in highly popular recommendations. In the present study we investigate if trailers reduce this bias to popular recommendations by informing the user and enticing her to choose less popular movies. In a user study we show that users that watched trailers chose relatively less popular movies and how trailers affected the overall user experience with the recommender system.

Assessing elicitation task bias in time preference using experiments with artificial subjects
Experimental results in research on time preference are often controversial. We propose a systematic investigation of choice task in multiple price list format (MPL) that is frequently implemented in experiments on time preference, through a computer simulation analysis. We conduct experiments with artificial subjects to demonstrate that elicited discount rates are highly dependent on the struc...

متن کاملConsequentiality: A Theoretical and Experimental Exploration of a Single Binary Choice
Researchers, using contingent valuation (CV) to value changes in nonmarket goods, typically believe respondents always answer questions truthfully or they answer truthfully only when it is in their interest to do so. The second position, while consistent with economic theory, implies that interpreting survey responses depends critically on the incentive structure provided. We derive simple test...

متن کاملFickle Groups: An Empirical Assessment of Time Preferences Using Experimental Data∗
Inconsistencies in individual intertemporal choices have been well documented in Economics. This paper studies individual and collective decisions through the preference elicitation method over task (real consumption). For this purpose, a joint experimental elicitation of time preferences was performed for the groups (who have to reach a consensus) as well as for their individual members. Using...
