Abstract

In this work we describe an approach at multi-objective recommender system evaluation based on a previously introduced 3D benchmarking model. The benchmarking model takes user-centric, business-centric and technical constraints into consideration in order to provide a means of comparison of recommender algorithms in similar scenarios. We present a comparison of three recommendation algorithms deployed in a user study using this 3D model and compare to standard evaluation methods. The proposed approach simplifies benchmarking of recommender systems and al- lows for simple multi-objective comparisons. Copyright © 2012 by the Association for Computing Machinery, Inc. (ACM).
