Another #ECIR2024 preprint! Lex Beattie, Henriette Cramer, Sole Pera, and I map the space of goals and “intervention strategies” for consumer-side impacts of IR & #recsys (with application to other stakeholders too).
We argue that effective impact work needs to be well-grounded, contextualized in broad and creative thinking about possibilities, and use methods that are well-matched to the goals. TL;DR put down the regularizer and step away from the algorithm.
