Idea
Geometric recommendation platform improving explainability and bias detection in dynamic user-content interactions.
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper introduces RecBundle, a framework leveraging fiber bundle theory from differential geometry to separate user interaction networks and individual preferences into hierarchical layers. This decoupling allows mechanistic identification of systemic biases and models user collaboration as geometric connections, advancing beyond traditional single-space embedding methods.
Why It Matters
Recommender systems often suffer from information cocoons and systemic biases that degrade user experience and limit content diversity. RecBundle's geometric approach separates user collaboration and preference dynamics, enabling more transparent and adaptive recommendations. This can enhance user trust, reduce bias, and scale across diverse domains requiring personalized content delivery.
Market Size (TAM)
$20–50B TAM for global recommender systems market; $5–10B SAM from streaming, e-commerce, and social media platforms. Driven by demand for personalized, explainable, and bias-mitigated recommendations.

Research Paper Overview
RecBundle: A Next-Generation Geometric Paradigm for Explainable Recommender Systems
Summary
RecBundle introduces a novel geometric framework for recommender systems that decouples user interaction networks and dynamic preferences, enabling clearer identification of systemic biases and improved recommendation explainability. Validated on MovieLens and Amazon Beauty datasets, it offers a new approach to address information cocoons and evolutionary bias in recommendations.
