Fairness and Transparency in Recommendation: The Users' Perspective

no code implementations16 Mar 2021 Nasim Sonboli, Jessie J. Smith, Florencia Cabral Berenfus, Robin Burke, Casey Fiesler

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.

User Factor Adaptation for User Embedding via Multitask Learning

1 code implementation EACL (AdaptNLP) 2021 Xiaolei Huang, Michael J. Paul, Robin Burke, Franck Dernoncourt, Mark Dredze

In this study, we treat the user interest as domains and empirically examine how the user language can vary across the user factor in three English social media datasets.

"And the Winner Is...": Dynamic Lotteries for Multi-group Fairness-Aware Recommendation

no code implementations5 Sep 2020 Nasim Sonboli, Robin Burke, Nicholas Mattei, Farzad Eskandanian, Tian Gao

As recommender systems are being designed and deployed for an increasing number of socially-consequential applications, it has become important to consider what properties of fairness these systems exhibit.

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.

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.

Opportunistic Multi-aspect Fairness through Personalized Re-ranking

no code implementations21 May 2020 Nasim Sonboli, Farzad Eskandanian, Robin Burke, Weiwen Liu, Bamshad Mobasher

In this paper, we present a re-ranking approach to fairness-aware recommendation that learns individual preferences across multiple fairness dimensions and uses them to enhance provider fairness in recommendation results.

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.

Developing a Recommendation Benchmark for MLPerf Training and Inference

no code implementations16 Mar 2020 Carole-Jean Wu, Robin Burke, Ed H. Chi, Joseph Konstan, Julian McAuley, Yves Raimond, Hao Zhang

Deep learning-based recommendation models are used pervasively and broadly, for example, to recommend movies, products, or other information most relevant to users, in order to enhance the user experience.

Exploring User Opinions of Fairness in Recommender Systems

no code implementations13 Mar 2020 Jessie Smith, Nasim Sonboli, Casey Fiesler, Robin Burke

Algorithmic fairness for artificial intelligence has become increasingly relevant as these systems become more pervasive in society.

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.
