Deviation-Based Learning: Training Recommender Systems Using Informed User Choice
This paper proposes a new approach to training recommender systems called deviation-based learning. The recommender and rational users have different knowledge. The recommender learns user knowledge by observing what action users take upon receiving recommendations. Learning eventually stalls if the recommender always suggests a choice: Before the recommender completes learning, users start following the recommendations blindly, and their choices do not reflect their knowledge. The learning rate and social welfare improve substantially if the recommender abstains from recommending a particular choice when she predicts that multiple alternatives will produce a similar payoff.

Minimizing Mindless Mentions: Recommendation with Minimal Necessary User Reviews
Recently, researchers have turned their attention to recommender systems that use only minimal necessary data. This trend is informed by the idea that recommender systems should use no more user interactions than are nee…

Though recommender systems are defined by personalization, recent work has shown the importance of additional, beyond-accuracy objectives, such as fairness. Because users often expect their recommendations to be purely p…
