Abstract:

Popularity bias commonly exists in recommendation systems. Previous studies mainly evaluated the performance of recommendation models offline through normal bias testing of factual interactions or debiased testing using records from randomized controlled trials. Yet, achieving high performance on one of the tests only provides a partial view. For example, the debiased test eliminates system-induced biases, enabling the model to strive for an equitable distribution of items in recommendation lists. However, this pursuit carries the risk of over-debiasing, potentially undermining recommendation performance. In this paper, our goal is to craft a recommendation method that achieves unbiasedness and excels in both tests. This necessitates the development of a model capable of making accurate predictions in both the debiased test and the biased test. To this end, we propose a novel Empirical Risk Minimization for Popularity Debiasing (ERMPD) training method for training a test-agnostic model to achieve unbiasedness, which has truly excellent recommendation performance while eliminating popularity bias. From a causal perspective, ERMPD uses empirical risk minimization to learn causal effects by adjusting the empirical risks on the factual domain and the counterfactual domain to eliminate the confounding effect caused by domain selection. Our method surpasses classic and cutting-edge baselines, as demonstrated through extensive experiments on three real-world datasets. Furthermore, it achieves unbiasedness recommendations effectively. © China Computer Federation (CCF) 2024.
