Researchers have developed COPF, a new framework designed to ensure fairness in online link recommendation systems, particularly those operating on evolving graphs. This system addresses the challenge of performance bias, where the system's own recommendations can skew the data it uses for fairness assessments. COPF defines opportunity gaps based on counterfactuals of shown versus not-shown links and uses explicit exploration and propensity logging to estimate these gaps. It employs residual outcome indistinguishability with graph-aware doubly robust estimators to audit and control fairness, demonstrating reduced disparities with minimal impact on ranking utility in experiments.
