Advancing Sustainability via Recommender Systems: A Survey
- 分析推荐系统如何通过个性化建议影响交通、食品、建筑等领域的可持续行为
- 揭示传统推荐系统重用户留存而忽视环境影响的缺陷
- 适合关注可持续计算、绿色AI和负责任算法的研究者阅读
人类的行为模式与消费方式已成为环境退化和气候变化的关键因素,日常决策如交通选择、能源使用和资源消耗共同造成重大生态影响。推荐系统基于用户偏好和历史交互数据生成个性化建议,深刻影响个体行为路径。然而,传统推荐系统主要优化用户参与度和经济效益,忽视推荐结果对环境与社会的影响,可能加剧过度消费并固化不可持续行为模式。鉴于其在塑造用户决策中的关键作用,亟需将可持续性原则融入推荐系统设计,以促进生态友好和社会责任型选择。本文全面综述了可持续推荐系统的现状,系统分析其在交通、食品、建筑及辅助领域中的实现方式,揭示其在资源节约、可持续消费与社会影响提升方面的多重潜力,并针对各领域特有约束与机遇提供分析框架。同时,展望未来研究方向,推动推荐系统从倡导可持续性向增强环境韧性与社会意识演进。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Human behavioral patterns and consumption paradigms have emerged as pivotal determinants in environmental degradation and climate change, with quotidian decisions pertaining to transportation, energy utilization, and resource consumption collectively precipitating substantial ecological impacts. Recommender systems, which generate personalized suggestions based on user preferences and historical interaction data, exert considerable influence on individual behavioral trajectories. However, conventional recommender systems predominantly optimize for user engagement and economic metrics, inadvertently neglecting the environmental and societal ramifications of their recommendations, potentially catalyzing over-consumption and reinforcing unsustainable behavioral patterns. Given their instrumental role in shaping user decisions, there exists an imperative need for sustainable recommender systems that incorporate sustainability principles to foster eco-conscious and socially responsible choices. This comprehensive survey addresses this critical research gap by presenting a systematic analysis of sustainable recommender systems. As these systems can simultaneously advance multiple sustainability objectives--including resource conservation, sustainable consumer behavior, and social impact enhancement--examining their implementations across distinct application domains provides a more rigorous analytical framework. Through a methodological analysis of domain-specific implementations encompassing transportation, food, buildings, and auxiliary sectors, we can better elucidate how these systems holistically advance sustainability objectives while addressing sector-specific constraints and opportunities. Moreover, we delineate future research directions for evolving recommender systems beyond sustainability advocacy toward fostering environmental resilience and social consciousness in society.
