Abstract
As recommender systems are increasingly deployed in the real
world, they are not merely tested offline for precision and coverage,
but also "online" with test users to ensure good user experience.
The user evaluation of recommenders is however complex
and resource-consuming. We introduce a pragmatic procedure to
evaluate recommender systems for experience products with test
users, within industry constraints on time and budget. Researchers
and practitioners can employ our approach to gain a comprehensive
understanding of the user experience with their systems.
