Novel approaches to measuring the popularity inclination of users for the popularity bias problem
- Computer Science2022 International Symposium on Multidisciplinary Studies and Innovative Technologies (ISMSIT)
- 2022
This study proposes two novel approaches, namely Better-Than-Average (BTA) and Positively-Rated (PR), to measure the popularity inclination of individuals more correctly, which aim to consider only items favored by users rather than all rated ones but differ in how they select the set of liked items.
Incorporating Bias-aware Margins into Contrastive Loss for Collaborative Filtering
- Computer ScienceArXiv
- 2022
Considering the theoretical guarantee and empirical success of BC loss, this work advocates using it not just as a debiasing strategy, but also as a standard loss in recommender models.
Exploring potential biases towards blockbuster items in ranking-based recommendations
- Computer ScienceData Mining and Knowledge Discovery
- 2022
This study presents a practical formulation that measures the degree of the blockbuster level of the items by combining their liking-degree and popularity effectively, and performs a comprehensive set of experiments to explore the potential biases towards blockbuster items in recommendations.
Countering Popularity Bias by Regularizing Score Differences
- Computer ScienceRecSys
- 2022
This study proposes a novel method to reduce the model bias while maintaining accuracy by directly regularizing the recommendation scores to be equal across items a user preferred by extending the widely used pairwise loss which maximizes the score differences between preferred and unpreferred items.
A Formal Analysis of Recommendation Quality of Adversarially-trained Recommenders
- Computer ScienceCIKM
- 2021
This work model the learning characteristics of the BPR and APR optimization frameworks to give mathematical evidence that, when the feedback data have a tailed distribution, APR amplifies the popularity bias more than BPR due to an unbalanced number of received positive updates from short-head items.
Understanding the Effects of Adversarial Personalized Ranking Optimization Method on Recommendation Quality
- Computer ScienceArXiv
- 2021
This work model the learning characteristics of the BPR and APR optimization frameworks to give mathematical evidence that, when the feedback data have a tailed distribution, APR amplifies the popularity bias more than BPR due to an unbalanced number of received positive updates from short-head items.

Managing Popularity Bias in Recommender Systems with Personalized Re-ranking
- Computer ScienceFLAIRS Conference
- 2019
This paper introduces a personalized diversification re-ranking approach to increase the representation of less popular items in recommendations while maintaining acceptable recommendation accuracy.
Novel Recommendation Based on Personal Popularity Tendency
- Computer Science2011 IEEE 11th International Conference on Data Mining
- 2011
An efficient novel-recommendation method called Personal Popularity Tendency Matching (PPTM) is proposed which recommends novel items by considering an individual's Personal Popularities Tendency (or PPT), which helps to diversify recommendations by reasonably penalizing popular items while improving the recommendation accuracy.
Popularity-Aware Item Weighting for Long-Tail Recommendation.
- Computer Science
- 2018
This paper examines an item weighting approach to improve long-tail recommendation and finds it works as a simple yet powerful add-on to existing recommendation algorithms for making a tunable trade-off between accuracy and long- tail coverage.
Improving pairwise learning for item recommendation from implicit feedback
- Computer ScienceWSDM
- 2014
The experiments indicate that the proposed adaptive sampler improves the state-of-the art learning algorithm largely in convergence without negative effects on prediction quality or iteration runtime.
Evaluating the Relative Performance of Collaborative Filtering Recommender Systems
- Computer ScienceJ. Univers. Comput. Sci.
- 2015
An evaluation framework based on a set of accuracy and beyond accuracy metrics, including a novel metric that captures the uniqueness of a recommendation list is presented, which finds that the matrix factorisation approach leads to more accurate and diverse recommendations, while being less biased toward popularity.
Missing Data Modeling with User Activity and Item Popularity in Recommendation
- Computer ScienceAIRS
- 2018
This paper proposes a novel approach to weight the missing data based on user activity and item popularity, which is more effective and flexible than the uniform-weight assumption and outperforms 3 state-of-the-art models including BPR, WMF, and ExpoMF.
Should I Follow the Crowd?: A Probabilistic Analysis of the Effectiveness of Popularity in Recommender Systems
- Computer ScienceSIGIR
- 2018
A crowdsourced dataset devoid of the usual biases displayed by common publicly available data is built, in which contradictions between the accuracy that would be measured in a common biased offline experimental setting, and the actual accuracy that can be measured with unbiased observations are illustrated.
What recommenders recommend: an analysis of recommendation biases and possible countermeasures
- Computer ScienceUser Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction
- 2015
It is shown that popular recommendation techniques—despite often being similar when compared with the help of accuracy measures—can be quite different with respect to which items they recommend.
Diversity, Serendipity, Novelty, and Coverage
- Computer ScienceACM Trans. Interact. Intell. Syst.
- 2017
A survey of the most discussed beyond-accuracy objectives in recommender systems research: diversity, serendipity, novelty, and coverage is presented and the positive influence of novelty on recommendation coverage is demonstrated.
Controlling Popularity Bias in Learning-to-Rank Recommendation
- Computer ScienceRecSys
- 2017
This paper introduces a flexible regularization-based framework to enhance the long-tail coverage of recommendation lists in a learning-to-rank algorithm and shows that regularization provides a tunable mechanism for controlling the trade-off between accuracy and coverage.
