Abstract

Recommender systems have explored a range of implicit feedback approaches to capture users’ current interests and preferences without intervention of users’ work. However, current research focuses mostly on implicit positive feedback. Implicit negative feedback is still a challenge because users mainly target information they want. There have been few studies assessing the value of negative implicit feedback. In this paper, we explore a specific approach to employ implicit negative feedback and assess whether it can be used to improve recommendation quality.
