用大模型+用户画像评估播客推荐,更准更省事。

Evaluating Podcast Recommendations with Profile-Aware LLM-as-a-Judge

  • 用90天听播客数据生成自然语言用户画像,代表兴趣与行为模式。
  • 大模型基于画像判断推荐内容匹配度,与人工评价高度一致。
  • 适合需要快速迭代、注重可解释性的推荐系统优化场景。

个性化推荐的评估仍是核心挑战,尤其在播客等长音频领域,传统离线指标存在曝光偏差,而在线A/B测试成本高且受限。本文提出一种新型框架,利用大语言模型(LLM)作为离线评判者,实现可扩展、可解释的播客推荐质量评估。采用两阶段的画像感知方法:首先从90天听播客历史中提炼出自然语言用户画像,概括主题兴趣与行为模式,作为用户偏好的紧凑可解释表示;随后以这些画像为上下文,而非原始数据,引导大模型进行细粒度的点对点和成对判断。在47名参与者的受控实验中,该方法与人工判断高度一致,优于或相当使用原始听播历史的变体。该框架支持推荐系统中高效、画像感知的迭代测试与模型选择。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Evaluating personalized recommendations remains a central challenge, especially in long-form audio domains like podcasts, where traditional offline metrics suffer from exposure bias and online methods such as A/B testing are costly and operationally constrained. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) as offline judges to assess the quality of podcast recommendations in a scalable and interpretable manner. Our two-stage profile-aware approach first constructs natural-language user profiles distilled from 90 days of listening history. These profiles summarize both topical interests and behavioral patterns, serving as compact, interpretable representations of user preferences. Rather than prompting the LLM with raw data, we use these profiles to provide high-level, semantically rich context-enabling the LLM to reason more effectively about alignment between a user's interests and recommended episodes. This reduces input complexity and improves interpretability. The LLM is then prompted to deliver fine-grained pointwise and pairwise judgments based on the profile-episode match. In a controlled study with 47 participants, our profile-aware judge matched human judgments with high fidelity and outperformed or matched a variant using raw listening histories. The framework enables efficient, profile-aware evaluation for iterative testing and model selection in recommender systems.
