MORE DIFFERENCES...


Recommendations are tailored...
...but the interaction is the same for every user

People also differ in how they make
decisions!
They may need different ways of interacting with
the system
TAILORED INTERFACES

We take a closer look at these
differences...
On what characteristics do users differ?
Do they use different decision strategies?

...and tailor the system to these
differences
Which interaction methods support these
strategies?
DECISION STRATEGIES

A decision strategy
is a procedure for making decisions
Weigh the attribute values
Pick the very first item you see

Different interaction methods may
support these strategies to a different
extent
PERSONAL DIFFERENCES

The decision strategy selected by the
user depends on her personal
characteristics
Bettman, Luce & Payne, 1998

Typical characteristics:
Experts vs. Novices   (Alba & Hutchinson, 1987; Coupey et al.,
1998)
Distrusting vs. Trusting   (Vries, 2004; Wang & Benbasat,
2007)
IN SHORT...

FIVE INTERACTION METHODS




TopN: the 10 most popular measures
Baseline condition; not personalized, virtually no
interaction
Get more recommendations by classifying measures
FIVE INTERACTION METHODS




Sort: sort the measures by any attribute
Implements the lexicographic strategy:
 ‣ Select the most important attribute
 ‣ Choose the item with the highest value on this attribute
Users can (re-)sort by clicking on table headers
FIVE INTERACTION METHODS


Explicit: a typical MAUT recommender
Implements the weighted adding strategy
 ‣   Normalize the attribute values: vij
 ‣   Assign weights to the attributes: wj
 ‣   Multiply and sum to get a utility: Ui = ∑vij* wj
 ‣   Choose item with highest utility
FIVE INTERACTION METHODS




Implicit: system decides on the weights
User behavior is analyzed to update the weights
Update rules based on previous versions of the
system
Weights are not shown
FIVE INTERACTION METHODS




Hybrid: Explicit + Implicit
Both the system and the user can update the
weights

Novices may like TopN,
Sort and Implicit
because they lack attribute
knowledge
Implicit may be more confusing

Experts may like Explicit
and Hybrid
because they can leverage their
attribute knowledge, and because

Implications for real-world recommender
                 systems



CONCLUSIO
FIRST SOME RESERVATIONS...



Small sample of users
28-33 participants per condition; low power
Domain encourages multiple decisions; dampens
the effects

Results pertain to attribute-based
systems
Does not apply to collaborative filtering
CONCLUSIONS
Hybrid is better than Explicit and
Implicit
For experts: tweak preferences: convenience and
control
For distrusting users: negative reactions to other
systems

However, TopN may be better in some
cases
For novices: no knowledge to exploit the benefits
HOW TO COMBINE TOP-N AND
        HYBRID?


Spatially separate them
In different sections of the interface

Temporally separate them
Start with the TopN, carefully introduce implicit
recommendations, then introduce explicit controls

Assign the correct method to each user
Discover the user’s characteristics,
then tailor the interface to her specific needs
MORE IN GENERAL...


Each to his own
The best interaction method depends on user
characteristics
Taking these into account may result in significantly
better recommender systems
THANKS TO...

  • 2. PEOPLE DIFFER IN WHAT THEY LIKE
  • 3. PEOPLE DIFFER IN WHAT THEY LIKE recommender system: computing ....... likes blue likes purple
  • 4. MORE DIFFERENCES... Recommendations are tailored... ...but the interaction is the same for every user People also differ in how they make decisions! They may need different ways of interacting with the system
  • 5. TAILORED INTERFACES We take a closer look at these differences... On what characteristics do users differ? Do they use different decision strategies? ...and tailor the system to these differences Which interaction methods support these strategies?
  • 6. DECISION STRATEGIES A decision strategy is a procedure for making decisions Weigh the attribute values Pick the very first item you see Different interaction methods may support these strategies to a different extent
  • 7. PERSONAL DIFFERENCES The decision strategy selected by the user depends on her personal characteristics Bettman, Luce & Payne, 1998 Typical characteristics: Experts vs. Novices (Alba & Hutchinson, 1987; Coupey et al., 1998) Distrusting vs. Trusting (Vries, 2004; Wang & Benbasat, 2007)

  • 16. FIVE INTERACTION METHODS TopN: the 10 most popular measures Baseline condition; not personalized, virtually no interaction Get more recommendations by classifying measures
  • 17. FIVE INTERACTION METHODS Sort: sort the measures by any attribute Implements the lexicographic strategy: ‣ Select the most important attribute ‣ Choose the item with the highest value on this attribute Users can (re-)sort by clicking on table headers
  • 18. FIVE INTERACTION METHODS Explicit: a typical MAUT recommender Implements the weighted adding strategy ‣ Normalize the attribute values: vij ‣ Assign weights to the attributes: wj ‣ Multiply and sum to get a utility: Ui = ∑vij* wj ‣ Choose item with highest utility
  • 19. FIVE INTERACTION METHODS Implicit: system decides on the weights User behavior is analyzed to update the weights Update rules based on previous versions of the system Weights are not shown
  • 20. FIVE INTERACTION METHODS Hybrid: Explicit + Implicit Both the system and the user can update the weights

  • 24. USER EXPERIENCE QUIS: Is the user interface usable? ‣ 5 items, summed 9-point scale Perceived system effectiveness: Is it useful? ‣ 5 items, “I make better choices with this system” Choice satisfaction: Do I like what I chose? ‣ 4 items, “I think I chose the best measures”
