New hyperbolic framework tackles recommender system information cocoons

Researchers have developed HERec, a novel hyperbolic framework designed to combat information cocoons in recommender systems. This framework enhances user experience by balancing content exploration and exploitation, allowing users to customize their recommendation preferences. HERec achieves this through a semantic-enhanced hierarchical mechanism and an automatic clustering approach, leading to significant improvements in utility and diversity metrics compared to existing methods.

    Breaking Information Cocoons: A Hyperbolic Framework for Balancing Exploration and Exploitation in Recommender Systems

    arXiv:2411.13865v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern recommender systems often create information cocoons, restricting users' exposure to diverse content. The central challenge is to balance content exploration and exploitation while allowing users to adjust their rec…
