What is explicit feedback?
Explicit feedback: Signals users deliberately give about output quality, such as thumbs up or down, star ratings or written comments. It is clear but sparse and skewed toward strong opinions, so it complements behavioural signals.
Explicit feedback: an example
After each answer, a chatbot shows thumbs up and down buttons; 4% of users click one, and most clicks are thumbs down.
