• Explicit feedback refers to user preference statements about items they know, typically stored as numeric ratings or unary/binary values (e.g., likes and thumbs up/down). In contrast, implicit feedback is inferred by observing and mining user interactions within the system, such as previous search queries, product purchases, and mouse clicks. Other features that can be used to model users’ preferences include demographic data, personality traits, emotional states, and trust relationships [23]. ls-type:: annotation hl-page:: 10 id:: 633ed9bc-bbab-4f58-bb01-dc66a3cad84d
