Abstract
Recommender systems for VOD platforms use data – both data describing audiovisual content and about the users and their behavior – and they also use algorithms of different kinds. The fundamental role of humans behind all this machinery is typically censored. What is purely technical, objective or automatic when someone has to decide what a film is, how it can be properly described, and when it can be considered as similar or different to another one? And when someone has to decide what is the deep reason behind every spectator’s behavior and what is the meaning of liking a movie?I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
