• Abstract summary: We show the impact of manipulating profit awareness of a recommender system. We propose an adjustment of a predicted ranking for score-based recommender systems. In the experiments, we show the ability to improve both the precision and the generated recommendations' profit.

• Abstract: Most of the research in the recommender systems domain is focused on the optimization of the metrics based on historical data such as Mean Average Precision (MAP) or Recall. However, there is a gap between the research and industry since the leading Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for businesses are revenue and profit. In this paper, we explore the impact of manipulating the profit awareness of a recommender system. An average e-commerce business does not usually use a complicated recommender algorithm. We propose an adjustment of a predicted ranking for score-based recommender systems and explore the effect of the profit and customers' price preferences on two industry datasets from the fashion domain. In the experiments, we show the ability to improve both the precision and the generated recommendations' profit. Such an outcome represents a win-win situation when e-commerce increases the profit and customers get more valuable recommendations.

  This study examines how recommendation algorithms can determine the competitive or collusive dynamics of AI-based pricing algorithms. Experimental results reveal that a profit-based recommender system intensifies algorithmic collusion among sellers due to its congruence with sellers' profit-maximizing objectives. A demand-based recommender system fosters price competition among sellers and results in a lower price, owing to its misalignment with sellers' goals.

  Recent work has shown that feedback loops may compromise recommendation quality and homogenize user behavior. We propose the Causal Adjustment for Feedback Loops (CAFL), an algorithm that provably breaks feedback loops using causal inference. We show that CAFL improves recommendation quality when compared to prior correction methods.

  Click-through rate (CTR) prediction, whose goal is to predict the probability of the user to click on an item, has become increasingly significant in recommender systems. Recent deep learning models with the ability to automatically extract the user interest from his/her behaviors have achieved great success. We propose a novel approach under the framework of the wrapper method, which is named Meta-Wrapper.
