让用户主动验证推荐结果,提升社交推荐的准确性和鲁棒性。

From Aggregation to Selection: User-Validated Distributed Social Recommendation

  • 用户自主选择算法验证潜在好友关系,通过多数共识确认推荐。
  • 在4个真实社交网络上,推荐正确率显著高于传统分布式和单点模型。
  • 适用于去中心化推荐场景,特别适合注重用户主权的社交系统。

社交推荐系统通过识别潜在好友来促进社交连接。每位用户以自身为中心维护本地社交网络,形成天然分布式的结构。近期研究关注分布式建模在社交推荐中的应用,因其与用户交互的用户中心结构天然契合。然而,现有分布式社交推荐系统依赖自动合并多个模型的预测结果,忽视了用户主动验证推荐合理性的作用。此外,推荐决策由个体用户验证,而非基于全局候选排序。因此,标准排名评估指标难以判断用户确认的推荐是否真正正确。为解决这些问题,我们提出DeSocial,一种支持用户验证的分布式社交推荐框架。DeSocial允许用户选择推荐算法来验证潜在连接,并通过多个独立用户验证者之间的多数共识完成验证。为评估该设置,我们将场景定义为链接预测与验证任务,引入Acc@K这一基于共识的评估指标,衡量用户认可的推荐是否正确。在4个真实社交网络上的实验表明,DeSocial相比单点和分布式基线,在决策正确性和鲁棒性方面均有提升。这些发现揭示了用户验证式分布式推荐系统的潜力,具有更广泛的应用前景于分布式与去中心化推荐场景。代码:https://github.com/agiresearch/DeSocial。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Social recommender systems facilitate social connections by identifying potential friends for users. Each user maintains a local social network centered around themselves, resulting in a naturally distributed social structure. Recent research on distributed modeling for social recommender systems has gained increasing attention, as it naturally aligns with the user-centric structure of user interactions. Current distributed social recommender systems rely on automatically combining predictions from multiple models, often overlooking the user's active role in validating whether suggested connections are appropriate. Moreover, recommendation decisions are validated by individual users rather than derived from a single global ordering of candidates. As a result, standard ranking-based evaluation metrics make it difficult to evaluate whether a user-confirmed recommendation decision is actually correct. To address these limitations, we propose DeSocial, a distributed social recommendation framework with user-validation. DeSocial enables users to select recommendation algorithms to validate their potential connections, and the verification is processed through majority consensus among multiple independent user validators. To evaluate the distributed recommender system with user validator, we formulate this setting as a link prediction and verification task and introduce Acc@K, a consensus-based evaluation metric that measures whether user-approved recommendations are correct. Experiments on 4 real-world social networks shows that DeSocial improves decision correctness and robustness compared to single-point and distributed baselines. These findings highlight the potential of user-validated distributed recommender systems as a practical approach to social recommendation, with broader applicability to distributed and decentralized recommendations.
