- 在TripAdvisor和RateBeer上生成的评论质量显著优于现有方法。
- 适合需要高效可解释推荐系统的工业场景使用。
协同过滤驱动了众多成功的推荐系统,但在细粒度用户-项目交互和可解释性方面存在挑战。随着用户对透明推荐需求增加,通过语言模型生成文本解释成为关键研究方向。现有方法采用RNN或Transformer,但前者无法利用预训练Transformer的优势,后者常存在适配不足且忽略关键的方面建模。我们提出ELIXIR(高效轻量的推荐解释模型),一个结合评分预测与个性化评论生成的多任务模型。ELIXIR联合学习用户和项目的全局及方面特定表征,优化整体评分、方面级评分与评论生成,并引入个性化注意力强调方面重要性。基于T5-small(60M参数)模型,我们证明了该方面架构在个性化上下文中引导文本生成的有效性,相比采用更大模型的先进方法,更贴合用户偏好。在TripAdvisor和RateBeer上的实验表明,ELIXIR显著优于强基线模型,尤其在评论生成方面表现突出。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Collaborative filtering drives many successful recommender systems but struggles with fine-grained user-item interactions and explainability. As users increasingly seek transparent recommendations, generating textual explanations through language models has become a critical research area. Existing methods employ either RNNs or Transformers. However, RNN-based approaches fail to leverage the capabilities of pre-trained Transformer models, whereas Transformer-based methods often suffer from suboptimal adaptation and neglect aspect modeling, which is crucial for personalized explanations. We propose ELIXIR (Efficient and LIghtweight model for eXplaIning Recommendations), a multi-task model combining rating prediction with personalized review generation. ELIXIR jointly learns global and aspect-specific representations of users and items, optimizing overall rating, aspect-level ratings, and review generation, with personalized attention to emphasize aspect importance. Based on a T5-small (60M) model, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our aspect-based architecture in guiding text generation in a personalized context, where state-of-the-art approaches exploit much larger models but fail to match user preferences as well. Experimental results on TripAdvisor and RateBeer demonstrate that ELIXIR significantly outperforms strong baseline models, especially in review generation.
