INFACT: An Online Human Evaluation Framework for Conversational Recommendation
Ahtsham Manzoor, Dietmar Jannach
Conversational recommender systems (CRS) are interactive agents that support their users in recommendation-related goals through multi-turn conversations. Generally, a CRS can be evaluated in various dimensions. Today's CRS mainly rely on offline(computational) measures to assess the performance of their algorithms in comparison to different baselines. However, offline measures can have limitations, for example, when the metrics for comparing a newly generated response with a ground truth do not correlate with human perceptions, because various alternative generated responses might be suitable too in a given dialog situation. Current research on machine learning-based CRS models therefore acknowledges the importance of humans in the evaluation process, knowing that pure offline measures may not be sufficient in evaluating a highly interactive system like a CRS.
