Beyond Trade-offs: Unveiling Fairness-Constrained Diversity in News Recommender Systems

Résumé

Recommender Systems have played an important role in our daily lives for many years. However, it is only recently that their social impact has raised ethical issues and has thus been considered in the design of such systems. Particularly, News Recommender Systems (NRS) have a critical influence on individuals. NRS can provide overspecialized recommendations and enclose users into filter bubbles. Besides, NRS can influence users and make their original opinions diverge. Worse, they can orient users' opinions towards more radical views. The literature has worked on these issues by leveraging diversity and fairness in the recommendation algorithms, but generally only one of these dimensions at a time. As this work aims to foster users' awareness of existing opinions, without influencing their own, we propose to consider both diversity and fairness simultaneously to provide recommendations that are fair, diverse, and obviously accurate. To this end, we propose a novel recommendation framework, Accuracy-Diversity-Fairness (ADF), that goes beyond traditional trade-offs as it considers that fairness is not at the expense of diversity. Concretely, fairness is approached as a constraint on diversity. ADF has been evaluated on MIND, a reference dataset in NRS. The results highlight that constraining diversity by fairness remarkably contributes to providing recommendations 5 times more diverse than models of the literature, without any loss in accuracy.
