• Abstract: Recommender system (RS) is an established technology with successful applications in social media, e-commerce, entertainment, and more. RSs are indeed key to the success of many popular APPs, such as YouTube, Tik Tok, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, and others. This paper explores the methodology for improving modern industrial RSs. It is written for experienced RS engineers who are diligently working to improve their key performance indicators, such as retention and duration. The experiences shared in this paper have been tested in some real industrial RSs and are likely to be generalized to other RSs as well. Most contents in this paper are industry experience without publicly available references.

  Recommendation Systems (RSs) are ubiquitous in modern society and are one of the largest points of interaction between humans and AI. Modern RSs are often implemented using deep learning models, which are infamously difficult to interpret. The newly introduced Tsetlin Machines (TM) possess some valuable properties due to their inherent interpretability.

  Recommender systems (RSs) aim to help users to effectively retrieve items of their interests from a large catalogue. Recent years have witnessed an increasing number of threats to RSs, coming from attacks, system and user generated noise, system bias. For end users, a trustworthy RS (TRS) should not only be accurate, but also transparent, unbiased and fair as well as robust to noise or attacks.
