On the Use of Opinionated Explanations to Rank and Justify Recommendations

چکیده
Explanations are an important part of modern recommender systems. They help users to make better decisions, improve the conversion rate of browsers into buyers, and lead to greater user satisfaction in the long-run. In this paper, we extend recent work on generating explanations by mining user reviews. We show how this leads to a novel explanation format that can be tailored for the needs of the individual user. Moreover, we demonstrate how the explanations themselves can be used to rank recommendations so that items which can be associated with a more compelling explanation are ranked ahead of items that have a less compelling explanation. We evaluate our approach using a large-scale, real-world TripAd-

We describe this approach...

People use arguments to justify their claims. Computer systems use explanations to justify their conclusions. User acceptance of a system depends partly on how well the system explains its reasoning and justifies its conclusions. We have built WOZ, an explanation framework that justifies the conclusions of a clinical decision-support system. WOZ’s central component is the explanation strategy t...
