This is especially problematic when bias is amplified over time as a few popular items are repeatedly over-represented in recommendation lists.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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