QUARE 2023: The 2st workshop on Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems, co-located with RecSys 2023, September 18-22

[Nicolas Mattis @MattisNicolas]

Had a lot of fun moderating this session at #QUARE23 Thanks to @chunhuatsai @navatintarev and @OlfaNasraoui for a stimulating discussion as well as great set of co-organisors in @oana_inel @milda_nor @krisztianbalog @aliossandro @sannevrijenhoek and twitterless Timothée Schmude

[Milda Norkute @milda_nor]

.@Mo_Naiseh shared with us why explanations might be misapplied or skipped and @CeciliaPanigut
introduced us to MVP for explanation(?) requirements based on current policy at #QUARE23, @QuareWorkshop, #RecSys2023, @ACMRecSys Thank you for joining & sharing.

[Upol Ehsan @UpolEhsan]

Super fun and engaging session. Fellow panelists were awesome as were the audience questions. You did a great job moderating it, @milda_nor! Thanks for the invitation.

Robin Burke: "If my livelihood depends on what a recsys does with my creative material, I need more transparency around why the algorithm is reaching some people, why is not reaching others, etc." #QUARE23 #RecSys2023 @ACMRecSys

[QUARE '23 @QuareWorkshop]

A fast-food mentality to deploy ready-made #ML approaches may be what's hampering to move beyond post-hoc rationale generation for #RecSys @UpolEhsan – great discussion in the session session of #QUARE23 @ACMRecSys #RecSys2023

[Milda Norkute @milda_nor]

Work by @UpolEhsan et al. encourages to think not only about different stakeholder needs but also how their background impacts perception of explanations & how surprising some of the perceptions can be. Thank you for joining & sharing! #QUARE23 @QuareWorkshop #RecSys2023

[QUARE '23 @QuareWorkshop]

@UpolEhsan Ignoring *who* users are is most likely to end up in failure at balancing users and organisational needs, @UpolEhsan #QUARE23

[QUARE '23 @QuareWorkshop]

The second session of #QUARE23 has started! Robin Burke's first challenge for the #explanations community is "let's build explanations which are not a lie!" #RecSys2023, @ACMRecSys

[QUARE '23 @QuareWorkshop]

@UpolEhsan is the second panellist, talking now about his human-centred #xAI approach, looking not only at users of the systems, but also at those who set the goals of explanations for #recommendations.

[QUARE '23 @QuareWorkshop]

#RecommenderSystems are like cars: everybody can have one, but not necessarily want to know how that works – @chunhuatsai #QUARE23, @QuareWorkshop, #RecSys2023, @ACMRecSys

[QUARE '23 @QuareWorkshop]

How can an explanations boost people’s critical thinking? We should be able the system as needed, not just encourage to trust systems more – @navatintarev #QUARE23, @QuareWorkshop, #RecSys2023, @ACMRecSys

[QUARE '23 @QuareWorkshop]

Assessing whether users comprehend explanations is inherently hard, that's why pbjective measurement for explanations are so hard to achieve, says @chunhuatsai one of the panellists of the first session of #QUARE23, @QuareWorkshop, #RecSys2023, @ACMRecSys

[Milda Norkute @milda_nor]

#QUARE23 is kicking off! Looking forward to half day of discussions about Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems @QuareWorkshop, #RecSys2023, @ACMRecSys

We’re glad to announce that we’ll be at @ACMRecSys this September. Stay tuned for further announcements! #XAI #RecSys

[Suzan Verberne 🤹‍♀️ @suzan]

I went to 3 workshops and all of them had nice discussions and interaction. The 1st Workshop on Measuring the Quality of Explanations in Recommender Systems was especially great, with short talks and a moderated, multi-disciplinary discussion session https://t.co/VUgsDMZI86

[QUARE '23 @QuareWorkshop]

@suzan @sannevrijenhoek @aliossandro @oana_inel @MattisNicolas Thanks for joining and for your contributions to the discussion!

[QUARE '23 @QuareWorkshop]

After lots of interesting presentations, QUARE '22 plenary discussion is about to start – looking forward to plenty of engaging contributions from our attendees. #xAI #quality #RecSys @SIGIRConf

[QUARE '23 @QuareWorkshop]

@denisparra joining us from Chile to talk about their work on #visual #recommendations #explanations. Thanks for being with us at such early hours for you, Denis! #SIGIR2022 #xAI @SIGIRConf

[Milda Norkute @milda_nor]

According to Chen et al user studies are now most common method to evaluate the user’s response to #XAI of recommender sys-that's really good to hear. I guess the next thing we should work towards is making them more standardized and detailed #SIGIR2022 @QuareWorkshop @SIGIRConf
