Recommender systems and their ethical challenges
This article presents the first, systematic analysis of the ethical challenges posed by recommender systems through a literature review. The article identifies six areas of concern, and maps them onto a proposed taxonomy of different kinds of ethical impact. The analysis uncovers a gap in the literature: currently user-centred approaches do not consider the interests of a variety of other stakeholdersāas opposed to just the receivers of a recommendationāin assessing the ethical impacts of a recommender system

Exploring explanations for matrix factorization recommender systems (Position Paper)
In this paper we address the problem of finding explanations for collaborative filtering algorithms that use matrix factorization methods. We look for explanations that increase the transparency of the system. To do so, we propose two measures. First, we show a model that describes the contribution of each previous rating given by a user to the generated recommendation. Second, we measure then influence of changing each previous rating of a user on the outcome of the recommender system. We show that under the assumption that there are many more users in the system than there are items, we can efficiently generate each type of explanation by using linear approximations of the recommender systemās behavior for each user, and computing partial derivatives of predicted ratings with respect to each userās provided ratings.http://scholarworks.boisestate.edu/fatrec/2017/1/7/Published versio
