Debiased Contrastive Representation Learning for Mitigating Dual Biases in Recommender Systems

Zhirong Huang, Shichao Zhang, Debo Cheng +3

In recommender systems, popularity and conformity biases undermine recommender effectiveness by disproportionately favouring popular items, leading to their over-representation in…
