The FATREC Workshop on Responsible Recommendation at RecSys 2017 is a venue for discussing questions of social responsibility in building, maintaining, evaluating, and studying recommender systems. This will be an interactive workshop with position papers, research papers, and discussion about how ethical, social, and legal concerns impact recommender systems research and development, resulting in an agenda for research on socially responsible recommendation.
There are many potential aspects of responsibility in recommendation, including (but not limited to):
Bias and discrimination in recommendations
Imbalance in meeting the needs of different groups of users
Balancing needs of users versus recommendation system owners
Ethics of explore/exploit strategies or A/B testing
‘Filter bubble’ or ‘balkanization’ effects
Clickbait
Transparent and accurate explanations for recommendations
