用大模型生成可解释的推荐理由,提升推荐效果与透明度。

Towards Comprehensible Recommendation with Large Language Model Fine-tuning

  • 通过后训练让大模型掌握推荐任务的推理能力
  • 用推荐得分作为奖励,优化大模型生成理由的质量
  • 生成的理由直接用于推荐,增强可解释性与性能

推荐系统在日常生活中广泛应用。传统方法主要依赖基于ID的表示或商品侧内容特征,难以捕捉与用户偏好一致的深层语义(如推荐理由),导致语义与协同之间存在差距。近期基于大模型的特征提取方法也面临挑战:如何确保大模型具备与推荐对齐的推理能力,并生成准确、个性化的推荐理由。为此,我们提出一种从协同视角理解内容的新框架CURec,生成与协同信息对齐的内容特征,实现更全面的推荐。CURec首先通过后训练使大模型适应推荐目标,具备指令遵循和思维链推理能力;接着利用大模型生成的特征训练推荐模型;然后将推荐模型输出的用户-物品预测分数作为奖励信号,通过强化学习微调大模型,提升生成理由的质量与模式;最终将修正后的理由直接融入推荐模型,增强推荐的可解释性与性能。在多个公开数据集上的实验表明,CURec显著优于现有方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recommender systems have become increasingly ubiquitous in daily life. While traditional recommendation approaches primarily rely on ID-based representations or item-side content features, they often fall short in capturing the underlying semantics aligned with user preferences (e.g., recommendation reasons for items), leading to a semantic-collaborative gap. Recently emerged LLM-based feature extraction approaches also face a key challenge: how to ensure that LLMs possess recommendation-aligned reasoning capabilities and can generate accurate, personalized reasons to mitigate the semantic-collaborative gap. To address these issues, we propose a novel Content Understanding from a Collaborative Perspective framework (CURec), which generates collaborative-aligned content features for more comprehensive recommendations. CURec first adapts the LLM with recommendation objectives through post-training, equipping it with instruction-following and chain-of-thought reasoning capabilities. Next, we use the LLM-generated features to train the recommender model. Then, we treat the user-item prediction scores produced by the trained recommender model as reward signals to guide RL-based refinement of the LLM, thereby improving the quality of generated reasons and pattern. The corrected reasons are directly integrated into the recommender model to enhance comprehensibility and recommendation performance. Extensive experiments on public benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of CURec over existing methods.
