• Title: Overhead-free User-side Recommender Systems
• Authors: Ryoma Sato,
• Abstract summary: We propose overhead-free user-side recommender systems, RecCycle, which realizes user-side recommender systems without any communication overhead. RecCycle recycles past recommendation results offered by the provider's recommender systems. It greatly reduces the cost of user-side recommendations.

• Abstract: Traditionally, recommendation algorithms have been designed for service developers. But recently, a new paradigm called user-side recommender systems has been proposed. User-side recommender systems are built and used by end users, in sharp contrast to traditional provider-side recommender systems. Even if the official recommender system offered by the provider is not fair, end users can create and enjoy their own user-side recommender systems by themselves. Although the concept of user-side recommender systems is attractive, the problem is they require tremendous communication costs between the user and the official system. Even the most efficient user-side recommender systems require about 5 times more costs than provider-side recommender systems. Such high costs hinder the adoption of user-side recommender systems. In this paper, we propose overhead-free user-side recommender systems, RecCycle, which realizes user-side recommender systems without any communication overhead. The main idea of RecCycle is to recycle past recommendation results offered by the provider's recommender systems. The ingredients of RecCycle can be retrieved ``for free,'' and it greatly reduces the cost of user-side recommendations. In the experiments, we confirm that RecCycle performs as well as state-of-the-art user-side recommendation algorithms while RecCycle reduces costs significantly.

  We define userist recommendation as an approach to recommender systems framed solely in terms of the relation between the user and system. Post-userist recommendation posits a larger field of relations in which stakeholders are embedded and distinguishes the recommendation function from generative media.

  We propose a Federated Graph Recommender System (FedGRec) to mitigate privacy concerns. In our system, users and the server explicitly store latent embeddings for users and items, where the latent embeddings summarize different orders of indirect user-item interactions. We perform extensive empirical evaluations to verify the efficacy of using latent embeddings as a proxy of missing interaction graph.

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.
