通过融入用户社交网络,缓解推荐系统导致的意见极化。

Socially-Aware Recommender Systems Mitigate Opinion Clusterization

  • 将用户社交网络拓扑结构纳入推荐算法设计
  • 显著降低意见集群化程度,提升内容多样性
  • 适合关注社会影响与推荐公平性的研究者

推荐系统通过匹配用户与创作者内容来最大化参与度。创作者据此调整内容以迎合用户偏好,提升影响力;而用户偏好又受推荐内容和社交圈内传播内容的双重影响。这种用户-创作者-推荐算法之间的反馈循环,是导致信息茧房和观点极化的根源。本文提出一种社交网络感知的推荐系统,显式建模这一反馈交互,并利用用户自身社交网络结构实现内容多样化推荐。理论证明,意见集群化程度与推荐内容对用户观点的影响正相关。实验表明,该方法能有效缓解观点极化与集群化现象,同时保持个性化推荐效果。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recommender systems shape online interactions by matching users with creators content to maximize engagement. Creators, in turn, adapt their content to align with users preferences and enhance their popularity. At the same time, users preferences evolve under the influence of both suggested content from the recommender system and content shared within their social circles. This feedback loop generates a complex interplay between users, creators, and recommender algorithms, which is the key cause of filter bubbles and opinion polarization. We develop a social network-aware recommender system that explicitly accounts for this user-creators feedback interaction and strategically exploits the topology of the user's own social network to promote diversification. Our approach highlights how accounting for and exploiting user's social network in the recommender system design is crucial to mediate filter bubble effects while balancing content diversity with personalization. Provably, opinion clusterization is positively correlated with the influence of recommended content on user opinions. Ultimately, the proposed approach shows the power of socially-aware recommender systems in combating opinion polarization and clusterization phenomena.
