Unbiased Implicit Recommendation and Propensity Estimation via Combinational Joint Learning |
Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
ABSTRACT This paper focuses on how to generate unbiased recommendations based on biased implicit user-item interactions. We propose a combinational joint learning framework to simultaneously learn unbiased user-item relevance and unbiased propensity. More specifically, we first present a new unbiased objective function for estimating propensity. We then show how a naïve joint learning approach faces an estimation-training overlap problem. Hence, we propose to jointly train multiple sub-models from different parts of the training dataset to avoid this problem. Finally, we show how to incorporate residual components trained by the complete training data to complement the relevance and propensity sub-models. Extensive experiments on two public datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model with an improvement of 4% on average over the best alternatives. |
