@aimediademlab.bsky.social๐ The answer was: through a card game! The deck acts as a tool for editorial and technical departments to jointly map out clear objectives for a system, and design specific metrics that truly reflect values and expectations. Visit our website to try it for yourself!
@aimediademlab.bsky.socialThroughout her PhD research, Sanne kept noticing how the development and evaluation of recommender systems mostly addressed predictive accuracy, while leaving values like fairness, novelty or diversity by the wayside. But how could these values be brought forward in a tangible, applicable way?
@aimediademlab.bsky.social๐งฉ Introducing the Values to Metrics Toolkit!
A card-based tool for more value-driven evaluations of recommendation systems, informed by Sanne Vrijenhoek's PhD research and developed with lab manager Sara Spaargaren and graphic designer @daphnedevries.bsky.social!
