Live Deep Dive into Two Award‑Winning WSDM 2025 Papers on Popularity Bias in Recommendation Models and Graph‑Based Causal Inference

This announcement introduces a live session that will dissect two best‑paper award research works from WSDM 2025—one revealing how recommendation models amplify popularity bias through spectral analysis and proposing a lightweight regularizer, and the other presenting a graph disentangle causal model that integrates GNNs with structural causal models to improve causal inference on networked observational data.

Decoupling Popularity Bias in Dual‑Tower Retrieval Models

The paper proposes CDAN, a dual‑tower retrieval model that separates item attribute and popularity representations via a Feature Decoupling Module with orthogonal embeddings, aligns head‑tail attribute distributions using MMD and contrastive learning, and jointly trains biased and unbiased towers, achieving higher tail recall, lower exposure concentration, and measurable online click‑through improvements.
