/ Introduction

Recommendation enables media applications to support users in discovering additional media content (e.g., news articles, videos) and to keep consumers engaged. The main challenge in this context is that the recommendation approaches has little potential for the discovery of new types of content for the consumer and they might cause the popular media content becoming even more popular. Such problems can ultimately lead to filter bubbles, echo chambers or group-think conditions. WP2 will tackle these undesired phenomena which are likely originated from the current personalization and recommendation approaches.

This will be done by computing responsible (predictive) models for a fair recommendation that will enhance user engagement through novel mechanisms by (i) providing explanations of recommendations to users (transparency), (ii) expanding recommendations to cover a rich spectrum of media content (diversity), (iii) ensuring the niche or minority content is suggested to users (fairness). 

The outcome will be novel recommendation algorithms taking into account multiple competing objectives (e.g., relevance vs. information balance). In doing so, WP2 will address the following main research questions:  To what extent can we effectively and fairly model online user behavior and predict this behavior? To what extent can we personalize and engage users online to efficiently keep them informed, and at the same time do this responsibly?  

Objective: To develop user modeling and personalisation techniques capable of effectively eliciting user preferences in order to enchance the user experience when interacting with media content while taking into account important competing factors (e.g., business values, societal values, individual values).
