Toward the Next Generation of News Recommender Systems

no code implementations11 Mar 2021 Himan Abdollahpouri, Edward Malthouse, Joseph Konstan, Bamshad Mobasher, Jeremy Gilbert

This paper proposes a vision and research agenda for the next generation of news recommender systems (RS), called the table d'hote approach.

User-centered Evaluation of Popularity Bias in Recommender Systems

no code implementations10 Mar 2021 Himan Abdollahpouri, Masoud Mansoury, Robin Burke, Bamshad Mobasher, Edward Malthouse

In this paper, we show the limitations of the existing metrics to evaluate popularity bias mitigation when we want to assess these algorithms from the users' perspective and we propose a new metric that can address these limitations.

The Connection Between Popularity Bias, Calibration, and Fairness in Recommendation

no code implementations21 Aug 2020 Himan Abdollahpouri, Masoud Mansoury, Robin Burke, Bamshad Mobasher

Moreover, we show that the more a group is affected by the algorithmic popularity bias, the more their recommendations are miscalibrated.

Popularity Bias in Recommendation: A Multi-stakeholder Perspective

no code implementations19 Aug 2020 Himan Abdollahpouri

In this dissertation, I study the impact of popularity bias in recommender systems from a multi-stakeholder perspective.

Feedback Loop and Bias Amplification in Recommender Systems

no code implementations25 Jul 2020 Masoud Mansoury, Himan Abdollahpouri, Mykola Pechenizkiy, Bamshad Mobasher, Robin Burke

Recommendation algorithms are known to suffer from popularity bias; a few popular items are recommended frequently while the majority of other items are ignored.

Addressing the Multistakeholder Impact of Popularity Bias in Recommendation Through Calibration

no code implementations23 Jul 2020 Himan Abdollahpouri, Masoud Mansoury, Robin Burke, Bamshad Mobasher

The effectiveness of these approaches, however, has not been assessed in multistakeholder environments where in addition to the users who receive the recommendations, the utility of the suppliers of the recommended items should also be considered.

Multi-sided Exposure Bias in Recommendation

1 code implementation29 Jun 2020 Himan Abdollahpouri, Masoud Mansoury

Using several recommendation algorithms and two publicly available datasets in music and movie domains, we empirically show the inherent popularity bias of the algorithms and how this bias impacts different stakeholders such as users and suppliers of the items.

FairMatch: A Graph-based Approach for Improving Aggregate Diversity in Recommender Systems

no code implementations3 May 2020 Masoud Mansoury, Himan Abdollahpouri, Mykola Pechenizkiy, Bamshad Mobasher, Robin Burke

That leads to low coverage of items in recommendation lists across users (i. e. low aggregate diversity) and unfair distribution of recommended items.

Unfair Exposure of Artists in Music Recommendation

no code implementations25 Mar 2020 Himan Abdollahpouri, Robin Burke, Masoud Mansoury

It is well-known that the recommendation algorithms suffer from popularity bias; few popular items are over-recommended which leads to the majority of other items not getting proportionate attention.

Investigating Potential Factors Associated with Gender Discrimination in Collaborative Recommender Systems

no code implementations18 Feb 2020 Masoud Mansoury, Himan Abdollahpouri, Jessie Smith, Arman Dehpanah, Mykola Pechenizkiy, Bamshad Mobasher

The proliferation of personalized recommendation technologies has raised concerns about discrepancies in their recommendation performance across different genders, age groups, and racial or ethnic populations.

The Relationship between the Consistency of Users' Ratings and Recommendation Calibration

no code implementations3 Nov 2019 Masoud Mansoury, Himan Abdollahpouri, Joris Rombouts, Mykola Pechenizkiy

In this paper, we aim to explore the relationship between the consistency of users' ratings behavior and the degree of calibrated recommendations they receive.

The Impact of Popularity Bias on Fairness and Calibration in Recommendation

no code implementations13 Oct 2019 Himan Abdollahpouri, Masoud Mansoury, Robin Burke, Bamshad Mobasher

In this paper, we use a metric called miscalibration for measuring how a recommendation algorithm is responsive to users' true preferences and we consider how various algorithms may result in different degrees of miscalibration.

The Unfairness of Popularity Bias in Recommendation

3 code implementations31 Jul 2019 Himan Abdollahpouri, Masoud Mansoury, Robin Burke, Bamshad Mobasher

Recommender systems are known to suffer from the popularity bias problem: popular (i. e. frequently rated) items get a lot of exposure while less popular ones are under-represented in the recommendations.

Multi-stakeholder Recommendation and its Connection to Multi-sided Fairness

no code implementations30 Jul 2019 Himan Abdollahpouri, Robin Burke

There is growing research interest in recommendation as a multi-stakeholder problem, one where the interests of multiple parties should be taken into account.

Reducing Popularity Bias in Recommendation Over Time

no code implementations27 Jun 2019 Himan Abdollahpouri, Robin Burke

Many recommendation algorithms suffer from popularity bias: a small number of popular items being recommended too frequently, while other items get insufficient exposure.

Incorporating System-Level Objectives into Recommender Systems

no code implementations31 May 2019 Himan Abdollahpouri

One of the most essential parts of any recommender system is personalization-- how acceptable the recommendations are from the user's perspective.

Beyond Personalization: Research Directions in Multistakeholder Recommendation

no code implementations1 May 2019 Himan Abdollahpouri, Gediminas Adomavicius, Robin Burke, Ido Guy, Dietmar Jannach, Toshihiro Kamishima, Jan Krasnodebski, Luiz Pizzato

Recommender systems are personalized information access applications; they are ubiquitous in today's online environment, and effective at finding items that meet user needs and tastes.

Managing Popularity Bias in Recommender Systems with Personalized Re-ranking

no code implementations22 Jan 2019 Himan Abdollahpouri, Robin Burke, Bamshad Mobasher

Many recommender systems suffer from popularity bias: popular items are recommended frequently while less popular, niche products, are recommended rarely or not at all.
