Abstract

Explainability is an important desired property of recommendation systems. We consider a graph-based recommendation approach, which generates detailed explanations to users in the form of labelled connecting relational paths and present a visualization interface intended to convey such detailed relational information in clear and intuitive manner. As initial evaluation, we performed a user study at an academic conference, recommending participants the users may be interested to meet (using <u>rsr.cloud</u>). The feedbacks were enthusiastic, indicating that the proposed visualizations of relational explanations are engaging and useful.
