Aligning Recommendations with User Popularity Preferences

Popularity bias is a pervasive problem in recommender systems, where recommendations disproportionately favor popular items. This not only results in "rich-get-richer" dynamics and a homogenization of visible content, but can also lead to misalignment of recommendations with individual users' preferences for popular or niche content.
