Publications

Dive into my collection of research contributions in the fields of machine learning, deep learning, recommendation systems, fairness, and Explainable AI. Each publication explores key advancements and insights aimed at pushing the boundaries of AI and ensuring transparency and equity in intelligent systems.

Explaining Recommendation Fairness from a User/Item Perspective

Recommender systems face challenges in ensuring fairness, and this work introduces Adding-based Counterfactual Fairness Reasoning (ACFR) to address fairness issues by preserving user-item relational structures, showing significant improvements over traditional methods in benchmark tests.

FairGAN: GANs-based Fairness-aware Learning for Recommendations with Implicit Feedback

Ranking algorithms in recommender systems often prioritize utility, leading to fairness issues. To address this, we propose FairGAN, a GAN-based approach that dynamically generates fairness signals, balancing exposure fairness with user utility without treating unobserved interactions as negative.

Factorization models are vital for CF, but intermediate data from their training is often overlooked. We introduce Convergence Pattern to enhance prediction reliability and recommendation quality, showing effectiveness in benchmark experiments.

This paper explores using Quantum Annealers for feature selection in recommendation algorithms, framing it as a QUBO problem. By integrating Counterfactual Analysis, we enhance the performance of the item-based KNN algorithm, with experiments showing promising results.
