The Unfairness of Popularity Bias in Book Recommendation

1 code implementation27 Feb 2022 Mohammadmehdi Naghiaei, Hossein A. Rahmani, Mahdi Dehghan

Furthermore, our study shows a tradeoff between personalization and unfairness of popularity bias in recommendation algorithms for users belonging to the Diverse and Bestseller groups, that is, algorithms with high capability of personalization suffer from the unfairness of popularity bias.

A Systematic Analysis on the Impact of Contextual Information on Point-of-Interest Recommendation

no code implementations20 Jan 2022 Hossein A. Rahmani, Mohammad Aliannejadi, Mitra Baratchi, Fabio Crestani

The major contributions of this paper are: (i) providing an extensive survey of context-aware location recommendation (ii) quantifying and analyzing the impact of different contextual information (e. g., social, temporal, spatial, and categorical) in the POI recommendation on available baselines and two new linear and non-linear models, that can incorporate all the major contextual information into a single recommendation model, and (iii) evaluating the considered models using two well-known real-world datasets.
