ABSTRACT
This paper describes and evaluates a method for presenting recommendations that will increase the efficiency of the social activity stream while preserving the users' accurate awareness of the activity within their own social networks. With the help of a content-based recommender system, the application displays the user's home timeline in Twitter as three visually distinct tiers by emphasizing more strongly those Tweets predicted to be more interesting. Pilot study participants reported that they were able to read the interesting Tweets while ignoring the others with relative ease and that the recommender accurately categorized their Tweets into three tiers.

Recommendations
Investigating the impact of recommender systems on user-based and item-based popularity bias
AbstractRecommender Systems are decision support tools that adopt advanced algorithms in order to help users to find less-explored items that can be interesting for them. While recommender systems may offer a range of attractive benefits, they ...
Highlights- We measure reinforced recommendation-driven popularity bias on several algorithms.

The Dynamics of (Not) Unfollowing Misinformation Spreaders
WWW '24: Proceedings of the ACM on Web Conference 2024Many studies explore how people "come into" misinformation exposure. But much less is known about how people "come out of" misinformation exposure.Do people organically sever ties to misinformation spreaders? And what predicts doing so? Over six months, ...
