Towards Fair Personalization by Avoiding Feedback Loops
Self-reinforcing feedback loops are both cause and effect of over and/or under-presentation of some content in interactive recommender systems. This leads to erroneous user preference estimates, namely, overestimation of over-presented content while violating the right to be presented of each alternative, contrary of which we define as a fair system. We consider two models that explicitly incorporate, or ignore the systematic and limited exposure to alternatives. By simulations, we demonstrate that ignoring the systematic presentations overestimates promoted options and underestimates censored alternatives. Simply conditioning on the limited exposure is a remedy for these biases.

A Bayesian Choice Model for Eliminating Feedback Loops
Self-reinforcing feedback loops in personalization systems are typically caused by users choosing from a limited set of alternatives presented systematically based on previous choices. We propose a Bayesian choice model …

Model-induced distribution shifts (MIDS) occur as previous model outputs pollute new model training sets over generations of models. This is known as model collapse in the case of generative models, and performative pred…
FairnessBias Mitigation for AI-Feedback Loops in Recommender Systems: A Systematic Literature Review and Taxonomy
Recommender systems continually retrain on user reactions to their own predictions, creating AI feedback loops that amplify biases and diminish fairness over time. Despite this well-known risk, most bias mitigation techn…
LTP-MMF: Towards Long-term Provider Max-min Fairness Under Recommendation Feedback Loops
Multi-stakeholder recommender systems involve various roles, such as users, and providers. Previous work pointed out that max-min fairness (MMF) is a better metric to support weak providers. However, when considering MMF…

Prediction-based decision-making systems are becoming increasingly prevalent in various domains. Previous studies have demonstrated that such systems are vulnerable to runaway feedback loops, e.g., when police are repeat…
