About

Harnessing recommender systems with misinformation- and harm-awareness mechanisms become essential not only to mitigate the negative effects of the diffusion of unwanted content, but also to increase the user-perceived quality of recommender systems. Novel strategies like the diversification of recommendations, bias mitigation, model-level disruption, explainability and interpretation, among others, can help users in performing informed decision making in the context of online misinformation, hate speech and other forms of online harm.

Call for Papers

The aim of this workshop is to bring together a community of researchers interested in tackling online harms and, at the same time, mitigating their impact on recommender systems. We will seek novel research contributions on misinformation- and harm-aware recommender systems. The main objective of the workshop is to further research in recommender systems that can circumvent the negative effects of online harms by promoting recommendation of safe content and users.

We solicit contributions in all topics related to misinformation- and harm-aware recommender systems, focusing on (but not limited to) the following list:

Reducing misinformation effects (e.g. echo-chambers, filter bubbles)
Hate speech detection and countermeasures
User/content trustworthiness
Bias detection and mitigation in data/algorithms
Fairness and transparency in recommendations
Explainable models of recommendations
Dataset collection and processing
Design of specific evaluation metrics
Applications and case studies of misinformation- and harm-aware recommender systems
