Abstract
We describe the methodological considerations that arose
over a series of experiments evaluating the eectiveness of explanations
for recommendations. In particular, we look at issues relating to: criteria,
metrics, product domain used, choice of materials, possible confound-
ing factors, and approximation of experience versus real experience. We
generalize the problems we found and the solutions that we applied to
adaptive systems. We illustrate the learned lessons with examples from
our previous work on adaptive systems (ranging from adaptive learning
to persuasive technologies).
