• Abstract summary: We aim in this paper to adopt a user-centered, interactive explanation model that provides explanations with different levels of detail and empowers users to interact with, control, and personalize the explanations based on their needs and preferences. We conducted a qualitative user study to investigate the impact of providing interactive explanations with varying level of details on the users' perception of the explainable RS.

• Abstract: Explainable recommender systems (RS) have traditionally followed a one-size-fits-all approach, delivering the same explanation level of detail to each user, without considering their individual needs and goals. Further, explanations in RS have so far been presented mostly in a static and non-interactive manner. To fill these research gaps, we aim in this paper to adopt a user-centered, interactive explanation model that provides explanations with different levels of detail and empowers users to interact with, control, and personalize the explanations based on their needs and preferences. We followed a user-centered approach to design interactive explanations with three levels of detail (basic, intermediate, and advanced) and implemented them in the transparent Recommendation and Interest Modeling Application (RIMA). We conducted a qualitative user study (N=14) to investigate the impact of providing interactive explanations with varying level of details on the users' perception of the explainable RS. Our study showed qualitative evidence that fostering interaction and giving users control in deciding which explanation they would like to see can meet the demands of users with different needs, preferences, and goals, and consequently can have positive effects on different crucial aspects in explainable recommendation, including transparency, trust, satisfaction, and user experience.

  Question and answer (Q&A) platforms usually recommend question-answer pairs to meet users' knowledge acquisition needs. This makes user behaviors more complex, and presents two challenges for Q&A recommendation. We introduce Question & Answer Graph Collaborative Filtering (QAGCF), a graph neural network model that creates separate graphs for collaborative and semantic views.

  In ad-hoc retrieval, evaluation relies heavily on user actions, including implicit feedback. The role of user feedback in annotators' assessment of turns in a conversational perception has been little studied. We focus on how the evaluation of task-oriented dialogue systems ( TDSs) is affected by considering user feedback, explicit or implicit, as provided through the follow-up utterance of a turn being evaluated.

• Justification of Recommender Systems Results: A Service-based Approach [4.640835690336653]
  We propose a novel justification approach that uses service models to extract experience data from reviews concerning all the stages of interaction with items. In a user study, we compared our approach with baselines reflecting the state of the art in the justification of recommender systems results. Our models received higher Interface Adequacy and Satisfaction evaluations by users having different levels of Curiosity or low Need for Cognition (NfC) These findings encourage the adoption of service models to justify recommender systems results but suggest the investigation of personalization strategies to suit diverse interaction needs.

  We propose a novel model called Hybrid Deep Embedding for aspect-based explainable recommendations. The main idea of HDE is to learn the dynamic embeddings of users and items for rating prediction. As the aspect preference/quality of users/items is learned automatically, HDE is able to capture the impact of aspects that are not mentioned in reviews of a user or an item.
