Fairness and Explainability of Recommender Systems

Algorithmic Fairness and Biases in RecSys, Explainability in RecSys, Causal and Counterfactual, Transparency in RecSys, Responsible RecSys for Social Good

[Yashar Deldjoo @yashardel]

Here is a list of contributions I made to
@SIGIRConf conducted in collaboration with great colleagues and collaborators in industries (#Amazon, and #DeepMind). Two Long Papers.

Pretty interesting works on the Holistic Evaluation of Generative and Large language models in #IR and #RecSys, Data Generation using LLMs, etc.

Pre-prints coming up, stay tuned... #SIGIR2025 #SIGIR25 @PolibaOfficial
