Minimizing Mindless Mentions: Recommendation with Minimal Necessary User Reviews

5 Aug 2022  ·  Danny Stax, Manel Slokom, Martha Larson ·

Recently, researchers have turned their attention to recommender systems that use only minimal necessary data. This trend is informed by the idea that recommender systems should use no more user interactions than are needed in order to provide users with useful recommendations. In this position paper, we make the case for applying the idea of minimal necessary data to recommender systems that use user reviews. We argue that the content of individual user reviews should be subject to minimization. Specifically, reviews used as training data to generate recommendations or reviews used to help users decide on purchases or consumption should be automatically edited to contain only the information that is needed.
