Recommender system is a widely adopted technology in a diversified class of product lines. Modern day recommender system approaches include matrix factorization, learning to rank and deep learning paradigms, etc. Unlike many other approaches, learning to rank builds recommendation results based on maximization of the probability of ranking orders. There are intrinsic issues related to recommender systems such as selection bias, exposure bias and popularity bias. In this paper, we propose a fair recommender system algorithm that uses Poisson process and Skellam distribution. We demonstrate in our experiments that our algorithm is competitive in accuracy metrics and far more superior than other modern algorithms in fairness metrics.
