Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel and publicly available dataset for online recommendation provided by Purch1. The dataset records the clicks generated by users of one of Purch's high-tech website over the ads they have been shown for one month. In addition, the dataset contains contextual information about offers such as offer titles and keywords, as well as the anonymized content of the page on which offers were displayed. Then, besides a detailed description of the dataset, we evaluate the performance of six popular baselines and propose a simple yet effective strategy on how to overcome the existing challenges inherent to implicit feedback and popularity bias introduced while designing an efficient and scalable recommendation algorithm. More specifically, we propose to demonstrate the importance of introducing diversity based on an appropriate representation of items in Recommender Systems, when the available feedback is strongly biased.
