Constructing Political Coordinates: Aggregating Over the Opposition for Diverse News Recommendation
- 基于对立用户偏好构建政治坐标系,衡量用户相对立场。
- 相比传统方法,显著提升新闻偏见多样性,更贴近真实政治包容度。
- 适合关注信息多样性、反极化的新闻推荐系统研究者。
过去二十年,新闻与信息的开放获取迅速增长,推动了民主社会中受教育群体的政治发展。新闻推荐系统(NRS)在此过程中发挥作用,通过提供用户关心的主题文章,减少政治疏离和信息过载。然而,现有系统常将用户兴趣与阅读历史中文章的党派偏见,以及其关注主题报道中的主流偏见混淆。长期交互下,易形成过滤气泡并加剧用户党派极化。本文提出一种新型嵌入空间——构造政治坐标(CPC),用于建模用户在特定主题空间内的政治立场,相对于更大样本人群。采用基于CPC相关性的简单协同过滤框架,推荐来自立场相异用户的新闻文章。实验对比经典协同过滤方法,结果表明:基于CPC的方法能有效促进偏见多样性,更好匹配用户真实的政治理解包容度;而传统方法则隐含利用偏见以最大化用户互动。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In the past two decades, open access to news and information has increased rapidly, empowering educated political growth within democratic societies. News recommender systems (NRSs) have shown to be useful in this process, minimizing political disengagement and information overload by providing individuals with articles on topics that matter to them. Unfortunately, NRSs often conflate underlying user interest with the partisan bias of the articles in their reading history and with the most popular biases present in the coverage of their favored topics. Over extended interaction, this can result in the formation of filter bubbles and the polarization of user partisanship. In this paper, we propose a novel embedding space called Constructed Political Coordinates (CPC), which models the political partisanship of users over a given topic-space, relative to a larger sample population. We apply a simple collaborative filtering (CF) framework using CPC-based correlation to recommend articles sourced from oppositional users, who have different biases from the user in question. We compare against classical CF methods and find that CPC-based methods promote pointed bias diversity and better match the true political tolerance of users, while classical methods implicitly exploit biases to maximize interaction.
