Implicit Feedback
Behavioral signals that users leave unintentionally in recommendation systems, such as dwell time and scrolling speed. The platform must infer preferences from them, and the signals are noisy and prone to misinterpretation.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Recommender systems usually rely on two types of user signals: implicit feedback (such as dwell time and swipe speed) and explicit feedback (such as likes, saves and directly adding topics).
The advantage of explicit feedback is clear intent and low noise, while the disadvantage is high acquisition cost and a data volume far smaller than implicit behavior; implicit feedback signals are noisy and prone to misjudgment.
Capturing implicit feedback is more complex from an engineering standpoint than explicit feedback, but more closely reflects real user behavior.
WeChat signals such as mouse hover duration, scrolling speed, and click order belong to the category of implicit feedback in recommendation systems.
