Multi-Task Learning For Reduced Popularity Bias In Multi-Territory Video Recommendations
Various data imbalances that naturally arise in a multi-territory personalized recommender system can lead to a significant item bias for globally prevalent items. A locally popular item can be overshadowed by a globally prevalent item. Moreover, users' viewership patterns/statistics can drastically change from one geographic location to another which may suggest to learn specific user embeddings. In this paper, we propose a multi-task learning (MTL) technique, along with an adaptive upsampling method to reduce popularity bias in multi-territory recommendations. Our proposed framework is designed to enrich training examples with active users representation through upsampling, and capable of learning geographic-based user embeddings by leveraging MTL. Through experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework in multiple territories compared to a baseline not incorporating our proposed techniques.~Noticeably, we show improved relative gain of up to $65.27\%$ in PR-AUC metric. A case study is presented to demonstrate the advantages of our methods in attenuating the popularity bias of global items.

User-centered Evaluation of Popularity Bias in Recommender Systems
Recommendation and ranking systems are known to suffer from popularity bias; the tendency of the algorithm to favor a few popular items while under-representing the majority of other items. Prior research has examined va…
Recommendation SystemsGraph-Structured Driven Dual Adaptation for Mitigating Popularity Bias
Popularity bias challenges recommender systems by causing uneven recommendation performance and amplifying the Matthew effect. Limited user-item interactions confine unpopular items within embedding neighborhoods of few …
Recommendation SystemsPopularity Bias in Recommendation: A Multi-stakeholder Perspective
Traditionally, especially in academic research in recommender systems, the focus has been solely on the satisfaction of the end-user. While user satisfaction has, indeed, been associated with the success of the business,…
