In this work, we propose adversarial examples in the Wasserstein space for time series data for the first time and utilize Wasserstein distance to bound the perturbation between normal examples and adversarial examples.

Specifically, we find that: 1) item popularity is a confounder between the exposed items and users' post-click interactions, leading to the first unfairness; and 2) some hidden confounders (e. g., the reputation of item producers) affect both item popularity and quality, resulting in the second unfairness.

Inspired by this, we devise a model-agnostic counterfactual framework for multimodal sentiment analysis, which captures the direct effect of textual modality via an extra text model and estimates the indirect one by a multimodal model.

Inspired by this observation, we propose a new training strategy named Adaptive Denoising Training (ADT), which adaptively prunes the noisy interactions by two paradigms (i. e., Truncated Loss and Reweighted Loss).

In this work, we scrutinize the cause-effect factors for bias amplification, identifying the main reason lies in the confounder effect of imbalanced item distribution on user representation and prediction score.

However, we argue that there is a significant gap between clicks and user satisfaction -- it is common that a user is "cheated" to click an item by the attractive title/cover of the item.
