ABSTRACT
Providing justification to a recommendation gives credibility to a recommender system. Some recommender systems (Amazon.com etc.) try to explain their recommendations, in an effort to regain customer acceptance and trust. But their explanations are poor, because they are based solely on rating data, ignoring the content data. Our prototype system MoviExplain is a movie recommender system that provides both accurate and justifiable recommendations.

Explaining collaborative filtering recommendations
CSCW '00: Proceedings of the 2000 ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative workAutomated collaborative filtering (ACF) systems predict a person's affinity for items or information by connecting that person's recorded interests with the recorded interests of a community of people and sharing ratings between like-minded persons. ...
Using Explainability for Constrained Matrix Factorization
RecSys '17: Proceedings of the Eleventh ACM Conference on Recommender SystemsAccurate model-based Collaborative Filtering (CF) approaches, such as Matrix Factorization (MF), tend to be black-box machine learning models that lack interpretability and do not provide a straightforward explanation for their outputs. Yet explanations ...

WWW '16 Companion: Proceedings of the 25th International Conference Companion on World Wide WebExplanations have been shown to increase the user's trust in recommendations in addition to providing other benefits such as scrutability, which is the ability to verify the validity of recommendations. Most explanation methods are designed for ...
