• Abstract summary: We argue that an RS can better enhance overall trust and transparency by frankly displaying both kinds of reasons to users. We have developed such an RS by exploiting knowledge graphs and by applying Snedegar's theory of practical reasoning.

• Abstract: A few Recommender Systems (RS) resort to explanations so as to enhance trust in recommendations. However, current techniques for explanation generation tend to strongly uphold the recommended products instead of presenting both reasons for and reasons against them. We argue that an RS can better enhance overall trust and transparency by frankly displaying both kinds of reasons to users.We have developed such an RS by exploiting knowledge graphs and by applying Snedegar's theory of practical reasoning. We show that our implemented RS has excellent performance and we report on an experiment with human subjects that shows the value of presenting both reasons for and against, with significant improvements in trust, engagement, and persuasion.

  We propose a simple yet effective method, called PC-CRS, to enhance the credibility of CRS's explanations during persuasion. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of PC-CRS in promoting persuasive and credible explanations. Further analysis reveals the reason behind current methods producing incredible explanations and the potential of credible explanations to improve recommendation accuracy.

  We analyze different groups of users according to their level of activity, and find that bias exists in recommendation performance between different groups. We show that inactive users may be more susceptible to receiving unsatisfactory recommendations, due to insufficient training data for the inactive users. We propose a fairness constrained approach via re-ranking to mitigate this problem in the context of explainable recommendation over knowledge graphs.

  We present a technique that learns to generate personalized explanations of recommendations from review texts. We show that human users significantly prefer these explanations over those produced by state-of-the-art techniques. Our work's most important innovation is that it allows users to react to a recommendation by critiquing the textual explanation.
