Simulations for novel problems in recommendation: analyzing misinformation and data characteristics

8 Oct 2021  ·  Alejandro Bellogín, Yashar Deldjoo ·

In this position paper, we discuss recent applications of simulation approaches for recommender systems tasks. In particular, we describe how they were used to analyze the problem of misinformation spreading and understand which data characteristics affect the performance of recommendation algorithms more significantly. We also present potential lines of future work where simulation methods could advance the work in the recommendation community.
