Abstract

‘Recommender systems’ are algorithms aimed at supporting users in their online decision making. More specifically, in the computer science literature, a recommender system is defined as:

a specific type of advice-giving or decision support system that guides users in a personalized way to interesting or useful objects in a large space of possible options or that produces such objects as output (Felfernig et al., 2018).

Examples of such systems are the Amazon recommender tool for products, the Netflix algorithm that suggests movies, the Facebook software that finds ‘friends’ we might know.
