Popis: This paper describes a novel approach for generating explanations for recommender systems based on opinions in user-generated reviews. We show how these opinions can be used to construct helpful and compelling explanations at recommendation time. The explanation highlights how the pros and cons of a recommended item compares to alternative items. We propose a way to score these explanations based on their content. The scores help to identify compelling explanations, providing a strong reason why the item being explained is better or worse than the alternatives. We describe the results of offline experiments and a live-user study based on TripAdvisor data to demonstrate the usefulness of this approach.
