About this paper

Gayane Taturyan, Charlotte Laclau, Stephan Clémençon

The authors present a method that mixes existing ranking policies to reduce group utility gaps within item categories while targeting category-level service. It measures utility using exposure to relevant items and optimizes policy weights under changing group shares. In a synthetic job-platform simulation, conditional utility parity (CUP) keeps category gaps near zero; this illustrates the method, not real-world job disparities.
