TL;DR
The paper is discussing well-known trust enhanced information filtering techniques for recommending controversial reviews by the recommender systems.
Abstract
By comparing and extending several well-known trust-enhanced techniques for recommending controversial reviews from Epinions.com, the authors provide the first experimental study of using distrust in the recommendation process.

IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data EngineeringToward the next generation of recommender systems: a survey of the state-of-the-art and possible extensions
10,115 Citations2005Gediminas Adomavičius, Alexander Tuzhilin
This paper presents an overview of the field of recommender systems and describes the current generation of recommendation methods that are usually classified into the following three main categories: content-based, collaborative, and hybrid recommendation approaches.
ACM Transactions on Information SystemsEvaluating collaborative filtering recommender systems
5,762 Citations2004Jonathan L. Herlocker, Joseph A. Konstan +2 more
The key decisions in evaluating collaborative filtering recommender systems are reviewed: the user tasks being evaluated, the types of analysis and datasets being used, the ways in which prediction quality is measured, the evaluation of prediction attributes other than quality, and the user-based evaluation of the system as a whole.
Propagation of trust and distrust

It is shown that a small number of expressed trusts/distrust per individual allows us to predict trust between any two people in the system with high accuracy.
Trust-aware recommender systems
1,181 Citations2007Paolo Massa, Paolo Avesani
This work proposes to replace the step of finding similar users with the use of a trust metric, an algorithm able to propagate trust over the trust network and to estimate a trust weight that can be used in place of the similarity weight.
Trust in recommender systems
860 Citations2005John O’Donovan, Barry Smyth
This paper proposes that the trustworthiness of users must be an important consideration in guiding recommendation and presents two computational models of trust and shows how they can be readily incorporated into standard collaborative filtering frameworks in a variety of ways.

It is shown that, in the case where the user's opinion is divergent from the average, the trust-based recommended ratings are more accurate than several other common collaborative filtering techniques.
Comparing Recommendations Made by Online Systems and Friends.
428 Citations2001Rashmi Sinha, Kirsten Swearingen
The hypothesis was that friends would make superior recommendations since they know the user well, and have intimate knowledge of his / her tastes in a number of domains, in contrast to RS, which only have limited, domain-specific knowledge about the users.

This paper presents FilmTrust, a website that uses trust in web-based social networks to create predictive movie recommendations, and shows that these recommendations are more accurate than other techniques when the user's opinions about a film are divergent from the average.

This work proposes Appleseed, a novel proposal for local group trust computation that borrows many ideas from spreading activation models in psychology and relates their concepts to trust evaluation in an intuitive fashion.

The corpus of user relationships of the Slashdot technology news site is analysed and it is shown that the network exhibits multiplicative transitivity which allows algebraic methods based on matrix multiplication to be used.

It is shown that subjectivity analysis can give useful clues about the helpfulness of a review and about its impact on sales and the results can have several implications for the market design of online opinion forums.
Modeling and Predicting the Helpfulness of Online Reviews
324 Citations2008Yang Liu, Xiangji Huang +2 more
This paper shows that the helpfulness of a review depends on three important factors: the reviewerpsilas expertise, the writing style of the review, and the timeliness of thereview, and presents a nonlinear regression model for helpfulness prediction.

197 Citations2008Patricia Victor, Chris Cornelis +2 more
This paper advocates the use of a trust model in which trust scores are (trust,distrust)-couples, drawn from a bilattice that preserves valuable trust provenance information including gradual trust, distrust, ignorance, and inconsistency.
A trust-enhanced recommender system application

136 Citations2009Paolo Massa, Paolo Avesani
This work proposes the use of a trust metric, an algorithm able to propagate trust over the trust network in order to find users that can be trusted by the active user, so that trust is able to alleviate the cold start problem and other weaknesses that beset Collaborative Filtering Recommender Systems.
