Special Issue on “Re-centering the User in Recommender System Research”
This special issue fosters collaboration among researchers from computer science, human-computer interaction, psychology, and ethics. This issue will serve as a platform for research that not only advances the technical frontiers of RSs but also ensures these systems are designed with a focus on user welfare, ethical standards, and societal impact.
Contributions may range from innovative user-centric evaluation strategies prioritizing user trust and fairness to dynamic recommendation processes integrating direct user feedback and conversational interaction for enhanced personalization, e.g., with LLMs. Explorations into the explainability of RSs, personalization techniques that respect individual decision-making styles, and the ethical implications of bias, fairness, and privacy in data-driven systems are particularly welcome.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- User control and user-centric approaches
- Trustworthiness and privacy
- Explanation and transparency
- Bias and fairness
- Psychological aspects of recommendation
- Conversational and user-driven RSs
- User studies and user-centric evaluation
- User interfaces and novel UI design studies
