This paper provides a comprehensive review of explanations in recommender systems. We highlight seven possible advantages an explanation facility, and describe how existing measures can be used to evaluate the quality explanations.

This paper characterizes general properties of useful, or Effective, explanations recommendations. It describes a methodology based on focus groups, in which we elicit what helps moviegoers decide whether not they would like movie. Our results highlight the importance personalizing to individual user, as well considering source recommendations, user mood, effects group viewing, and effect expectations.
It is often desirable that referring expressions be chosen in such a way their referents are easy to identify. This article focuses on hierarchically structured domains, exploring the hypothesis can improved by including logically redundant information them if this leads significant reduction amount of search needed identify referent. Generation algorithms presented implement idea into generated expression, certain well-circumscribed situations. To test our hypotheses, and assess performance...
