Background information
During interactions between users and the recommendation system, some recommendations may not meet user expectations. This may be caused by inappropriate diversity policies, changes in user interests, or the use of some topics or images that make users feel uncomfortable.
The negative feedback feature enables the interactions between users and the recommendation system and provides more personalized recommendations based on the negative feedback of users.
Description
The negative feedback feature applies to the following scenarios:
1. Block a single item
Example: An item such as a product, content, or news appears in the recommendations for Alice but Alice does not like this item or some images or descriptions of this item make her feel uncomfortable. The negative feedback feature can block this item for Alice.
Effect: This item is blocked and no longer appears in the recommendations for Alice. The block operation takes effect permanently.
