Modern recommender systems (RecSys), particularly those using deep learning, often lack transparency and user control, functioning as black boxes that may create filter bubbles or prioritize revenue over user preferences. In visual art recommendation systems (VA RecSys), where diversity and exploration are critical, this opacity can hinder user engagement. ArtEx addresses these challenges by providing a web-based platform that empowers users to control recommendation attributes like popularity and diversity through adjustable sliders.

ArtEx is an interactive interface designed to showcase user-driven personalization. Built on the SemArt dataset and leveraging BLIP’s multimodal features as a backbone, ArtEx enables users to explore a rich collection of artworks by solving joint optimization problems to facilitate the control of popularity and diversity of items allowing users to fine-tune recommendations to align with their preferences.
