• Title: Do recommender systems function in the health domain: a system review
• Authors: Jia Su, Yi Guan, Yuge Li, Weile Chen, He Lv, Yageng Yan
• Abstract summary: We review aspects of health recommender systems including interests, methods, evaluation, future challenges and trend issues. We find that 1) health recommender systems have their own health concern limitations that cause them to focus on less-risky recommendations such as diet recommendation. It is believed that this review will help domain researchers and promote health recommender systems to the next step.

• Abstract: Recommender systems have fulfilled an important role in everyday life. Recommendations such as news by Google, videos by Netflix, goods by e-commerce providers, etc. have heavily changed everyones lifestyle. Health domains contain similar decision-making problems such as what to eat, how to exercise, and what is the proper medicine for a patient. Recently, studies focused on recommender systems to solve health problems have attracted attention. In this paper, we review aspects of health recommender systems including interests, methods, evaluation, future challenges and trend issues. We find that 1) health recommender systems have their own health concern limitations that cause them to focus on less-risky recommendations such as diet recommendation; 2) traditional recommender methods such as content-based and collaborative filtering methods can hardly handle health constraints, but knowledge-based methods function more than ever; 3) evaluating a health recommendation is more complicated than evaluating a commercial one because multiple dimensions in addition to accuracy should be considered. Recommender systems can function well in the health domain after the solution of several key problems. Our work is a systematic review of health recommender system studies, we show current conditions and future directions. It is believed that this review will help domain researchers and promote health recommender systems to the next step.

  We propose a new serendipity metric to measure the presence of echo chambers and homophily in recommendation systems. We then attempt to improve the diversity-preservation qualities of well known recommendation techniques by adopting a parent selection algorithm known as lexicase selection. Our results show that lexicase selection, or a mixture of lexicase selection and ranking, outperforms its purely ranked counterparts in terms of personalization, coverage and our specifically designed serendipity benchmark.
