As for many state-of-the-art constraint-based recommender systems, the NETT-RS bases its recommendation process on the collection of requirements to which items must adhere in order to be recommended. In this paper we study the effects of two different requirement collection strategies on the perceived overall recommendation quality of the NETT-RS. In the first strategy users are not allowed to refine and change the requirements once chosen, while in the second strategy the system allows the users to modify the requirements (we refer to this strategy as backtracking). We run the study following the well established ResQue methodology for user-centric evaluation of RS. Our experimental results indicate that backtracking has a strong positive impact on the perceived recommendation quality of the NETT-RS.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-386 alignleft\" title=\"Presentazione Social Thingum\" src=\"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4689-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Presentazione Social Thingum\" width=\"487\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4689-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4689-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4689-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4689-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4689-862x647.jpg 862w, https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4689-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 487px) 100vw, 487px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-385 alignleft\" title=\"Presentazione Social Thingum\" src=\"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4688-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Presentazione Social Thingum\" width=\"488\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4688-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4688-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4688-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4688-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4688-862x647.jpg 862w, https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_4688-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 488px) 100vw, 488px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The scientific article &#8220;Evaluation of requirements collection strategies for a constraint-based recommender system in a social e-learning platform&#8221; was presented to the scientific community of CSEDU 2016, the International Conference on Computer Supported Education, by the start up Social Thingum gi\u00e0 Social Things srl together with the Department of Informatics of the University of Milan and the Department of Informatics, &#8230; <\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/presentation-at-csedu-2016\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4724,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4597"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4683,"href":"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4597\/revisions\/4683"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.socialthingum.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
