In this paper, we attempt to correct a popularity bias, which is the tendency for popular items to be recommended more frequently, by enhancing recommendation neutrality. Recommendation neutrality involves excluding specified information from the prediction process of recommendation. This neutrality was formalized as the statistical independence between a recommendation result and the specified information, and we developed a recommendation algorithm that satisfies this independence constraint. We correct the popularity bias by enhancing neutrality with respect to information regarding whether candidate items are popular or not. We empirically show that a popularity bias in the predicted preference scores can be corrected.
