[🌟🎉 CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE] The UM6P College of Computing is pleased to announce that our PhD student MOHAMED LECHIAKH, under the supervision of Prof. Alexandre Maurer, has successfully published a research paper entitled "Towards Long-Term Depolarized Interactive Recommendations" in the prestigious Journal of Information Processing and Management (IP&M), a Q1 journal renowned for its contributions to computing and information science. This research work addresses the pressing issue of long-term polarization in sequential recommendation systems. By proposing three constrained deep Q-learning algorithms, the research optimizes the personalization-polarization trade-off, enhancing both the diversity of recommended content and the safety of user consumption behaviors in today’s dynamic recommendation environments. Co-authored with Dr. Zakaria EL MOUTAOUAKKIL and Prof. Alexandre Maurer, this achievement highlights UM6P College of Computing's commitment to pioneering research that tackles complex challenges in AI and recommendation systems. Congratulations to Mohamed Lechiakh and his co-authors for this remarkable accomplishment. We are proud to celebrate their contributions to advancing knowledge in this essential field.
