Abstract

In today's information age, recommender systems have become an essential tool to filter and personalize the massive data flow to users. However, these systems' increasing complexity and opaque nature have raised concerns about transparency and user trust. Lack of explainability in recommendations can lead to ill-informed decisions and decreased confidence in these advanced systems. Our study addresses this problem by integrating explainability techniques into recommendation systems to improve both the precision of the recommendations and their transparency. We implemented and evaluated recommendation models on the MovieLens and Amazon datasets, applying explainability methods like LIME and SHAP to disentangle the model decisions. The results indicated significant improvements in the precision of the recommendations, with a notable increase in the user's ability to understand and trust the suggestions provided by the system. For example, we saw a 3% increase in recommendation precision when incorporating these explainability techniques, demonstrating their added value in performance and improving the user experience.

人工智能时代的透明度和精确度:可解释性增强推荐系统的评估。
在当今的信息时代,推荐系统已成为过滤和个性化用户海量数据流的重要工具。然而,这些系统日益增加的复杂性和不透明性引起了人们对其透明度和用户信任度的担忧。推荐缺乏可解释性会导致用户在不知情的情况下做出决定,并降低对这些先进系统的信任度。我们的研究通过将可解释性技术整合到推荐系统中来提高推荐的精确度和透明度,从而解决这一问题。我们在 MovieLens 和亚马逊数据集上实施并评估了推荐模型,并应用 LIME 和 SHAP 等可解释性方法来分解模型决策。结果表明,推荐的精确度有了显著提高,用户理解和信任系统提供的建议的能力也明显增强。例如,在采用这些可解释性技术后,我们发现推荐精确度提高了 3%,这证明了它们在性能和改善用户体验方面的附加价值。
