Abstract

Personalized recommender systems are essential tools to facilitate human decision making. Many contemporary recommender systems use advanced machine learning techniques to model and predict user preferences from behavioral data. While such systems can provide helpful recommendations, their algorithms' design does not incorporate the underlying psychological mechanisms that shape user preferences and behavior. In this tutorial, we will guide the attendees through the state-of-The-Art in psychology-informed recommender systems, i.e., recommender systems that consider extrinsic and intrinsic human factors. We show how such systems can improve the recommendation process in a user-centric fashion.
