Multi-objective Optimization for Personalized and Fairness Recommender Systems: A Hybrid Approach
摘要
In the rapidly advancing environment of online platforms, recommender systems play a pivotal role in adapting content to user preferences. However, achieving a balance between personalization, fairness, and discovery remains a significant challenge for conventional recommendation methods. This paper introduces FairRecMOEA/D, a novel multi-objective optimization approach combining decomposition-based evolutionary algorithms (MOEA/D) with collaborative and demographic filtering. FairRecMOEA/D simultaneously optimizes recall, F1 score, novelty, and fairness. Evaluations using diverse MovieLens datasets demonstrate its superior ability to balance these conflicting objectives, outperforming traditional models. Our results underscore the transformative potential of multi-objective optimization for enhancing user engagement and satisfaction, setting a new benchmark for future recommender systems.
