Robustness and User-Perceived Value of Popularity Calibration in Music Recommendation: A User Study

Oleg Lesota, Gustavo Escobedo, Bruce Ferwerda +4

Popularity calibration in recommender systems has been studied both as a form of user-centered personalization and as an indicator of popularity bias. Most existing work evaluates…

Meta-Learning and Targeted Differential Privacy to Improve the Accuracy-Privacy Trade-off in Recommendations

Peter Müllner, Dominik Kowald, Markus Schedl +1

Balancing differential privacy (DP) with recommendation accuracy is a key challenge in privacy-preserving recommender systems, since DP-noise degrades accuracy. We address this tra…

Unsupervised Graph Embeddings for Session-based Recommendation with Item Features

Andreas Peintner, Marta Moscati, Emilia Parada-Cabaleiro +2

In session-based recommender systems, predictions are based on the user's preceding behavior in the session. State-of-the-art sequential recommendation algorithms either use graph…
