| Abstract | In this thesis, we try to address several aspects of the explanation interface in a recommender system and create a design framework that can help guide future designers to successfully implement a user-friendly and highly effective explanation interface for a recommender system. This framework will also play an indicating role to assist us in analyzing existing explanation interfaces of recommender systems. By carrying out a review on previous research papers and a survey on existing commercial recommender systems, we aim to find out the academic and commercial best practices and hence formulate a set of draft design principles. Furthermore, by following our proposed analytical framework, we try to build a prototype system and perform two experiments to justify our research hypotheses and also test the usability of different explanation related functions and features. Finally, a survey will be used to collect users’ degrees of satisfaction towards these explanation related functions and their visualization techniques. After a full analysis of data collected from our experiments and survey, an explanatory statement of the proposed design framework and a refined set of design principles are concluded as the final academic outcome of this thesis. The major results can be found at the end of Chapter 4 and a summarized short conclusion is presented in Chapter 5. |
