Enhancing Recommender System Performance by Histogram Equalization
Recommender system has been researched for decades with millions of different versions of algorithms created in the industry. In spite of the huge amount of work spent on the field, there are many basic questions to be answered in the field. The most fundamental question to be answered is the accuracy problem, and in recent years, fairness becomes the new buzz word for researchers. In this paper, we borrow an idea from image processing, namely, histogram equalization. As a preprocessing step to recommender system algorithms, histogram equalization could enhance both the accuracy and fairness metrics of the recommender system algorithms. In the experiment section, we prove that our new approach could improve vanilla algorithms by a large margin in accuracy metric and stay competitive on fairness metrics.

A Comparative Study of Histogram Equalization Based Image Enhancement Techniques for Brightness Preservation and Contrast Enhancement
Histogram Equalization is a contrast enhancement technique in the image processing which uses the histogram of image. However histogram equalization is not the best method for contrast enhancement because the mean bright…
Image EnhancementFPGA Implementation of Minimum Mean Brightness Error Bi-Histogram Equalization
Histogram Equalization (HE) is a popular method for contrast enhancement. Generally, mean brightness is not conserved in Histogram Equalization. Initially, Bi-Histogram Equalization (BBHE) was proposed to enhance contras…
