Abstract
Explainable recommendation and search attempt to develop models or methods that not only generate high-quality recommendation or search results, but also interpretability of the models or explanations of the results for users or system designers, which can help to improve the system transparency, persuasiveness, trustworthiness, and effectiveness, etc. This is even more important in personalized search and recommendation scenarios, where users would like to know why a particular product, web page, news report, or friend suggestion exists in his or her own search and recommendation lists. The workshop focuses on the research and application of explainable recommendation, search, and a broader scope of IR tasks. It will gather researchers as well as practitioners in the field for discussions, idea communications, and research promotions. It will also generate insightful debates about the recent regulations regarding AI interpretability, to a broader community including but not limited to IR, machine learning, AI, Data Science, and beyond.
