ExpLOD: a Framework for Explaining Recommendations based on the Linked Open Data Cloud. Musto, C., Narducci, F., Lops, P., De Gemmis, M., & Semeraro, G. Proceedings of the 10th ACM Conference on Recommender Systems - RecSys '16, 2016. Website abstract bibtex In this paper we present ExpLOD, a framework which ex-ploits the information available in the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud to generate a natural language explanation of the suggestions produced by a recommendation algorithm. The methodology is based on building a graph in which the items liked by a user are connected to the items recom-mended through the properties available in the LOD cloud. Next, given this graph, we implemented some techniques to rank those properties and we used the most relevant ones to feed a module for generating explanations in natural lan-guage. In the experimental evaluation we performed a user study with 308 subjects aiming to investigate to what extent our explanation framework can lead to more transparent, trust-ful and engaging recommendations. The preliminary results provided us with encouraging findings, since our algorithm performed better than both a non-personalized explanation baseline and a popularity-based one.
