Future recommendation infrastructures must integrate evaluation protocols, fairness metrics, and reproducible pipelines as first-class design principles—not afterthoughts.
The paper “WarpRec” proposes a framework that unifies academic rigor with industrial-scale recommendation systems, aiming for responsibility, reproducibility, and efficiency at scale.

I hope other parties will support this common sense measure!

And fair play to the Hope and Courage Collective for the great work that they have been doing on this issue!

My article on @TheJournal goes into more detail on the harms that these toxic algorithms cause: https://www.thejournal.ie/prev/6901718/dvOJnni9c66MA/

Opinion: Banning under-16s from social media is a half-measure. We should ban toxic algorithms

Australia is trying to ban teens from social media, but that only scratches the surface as a solution to the problems tech companies are causing us, writes Killian Mangan.

I'm really happy to see political parties beginning to take toxic algorithms seriously!

We must force private, for-profit social media companies to turn off their recommender systems *for everyone* for good - so we can once again regain freedom to choose what we see online, like we had until 2014 when the doom spiral began!

Paige Saunders @paige (rather than Dawn Walker @dawn as I erroneously wrote earlier!) has this great video, 'We Have An Algorithm Problem' at https://video.fedihost.co/w/a1522517-704e-44a3-aa0e-5c4e7d49e7d1, where he says that fediverse users' suspicion of algorithms is completely warranted, but now that we have been able to opt out of algorithmic content where we had zero agency, we need a conversation about what it means to opt in with algorithms under our own control.

This will be incredible. Elon Musk just confirmed they are working on promptable algorithm for creating custom feeds on X. So the feed ranking algo will take a plain language instruction from you, then use it as a rule when choosing what to show.

"Banning #socialmedia for young people will ignore the incredibly harmful societal effects of modern social media for most of the population…
The most immediate solution is to ban companies from using #recommendersystems entirely (outside a few specific cases); that would restore our freedom to choose what we see online, and at least pause our descent into the years-long spiral towards increased extremism, misinformation, social media addiction & polarisation."

I love it when recommender systems are so chronically off that it just confirms the coming automated dystopian future we have built will be 90% Brazil and 10% LOTF.

Ever wondered why your perfectly optimized recommender system underperforms in the real world? 🤔 My latest blog post, 'Recommender System Evaluation (Part 3): Real-World Deployment - When Rubber Meets the Road,' uncovers the crucial disconnect between offline metrics like accuracy and diversity, and actual live performance.

It's not enough to have great algorithms in theory. We delve into the complexities of real-world deployment, exploring vital aspects like proper A/B testing, understanding business impact (CTR, conversion, retention), balancing short-term vs. long-term goals, and ensuring fairness and mitigating bias in recommendations. 📈

Discover how to bridge this gap with practical evaluation frameworks and build systems that truly deliver value. Read the full insights and code examples here: https://fanyangmeng.blog/recommender-system-evaluation-part-3/ #RecommenderSystems

Recommender System Evaluation (Part 3): Real-World Deployment - When Rubber Meets the Road

Go beyond offline accuracy to truly evaluate your recommender system. This guide covers A/B testing, conversion funnels, fairness, and the business metrics that drive real-world success and retention.

For the past couple of weeks I have turned off my home feed on youtube and am only using the subscriptions button which behaves like an RSS feed.

Without dopamine optimising suggestions I am saving so much time! Highly recommended :D
