用大模型融合符号推理与语义适配,提升个性化决策预测效果。

Personalized Decision Modeling: Utility Optimization or Textualized-Symbolic Reasoning

  • 分两阶段:先用大模型发现群体符号化效用函数,再为个体生成语义模板。
  • 在出行和疫苗选择任务中F1得分比最强模型高至少6.5%。
  • 适合需要精准建模个体偏好的高风险决策场景研究者。

针对高风险场景(如疫苗接种)中的个体决策模型与群体最优预测之间的差距,本文提出自适应文本-符号人类中心推理框架ATHENA。该框架结合效用理论与大语言模型的文本推理能力,包含两个关键阶段:首先通过大模型增强的符号发现,挖掘稳健的群体级符号效用函数;其次实施个体级语义适配,基于最优效用构建个性化语义模板以建模个体选择。在真实世界出行方式与疫苗选择任务上验证,ATHENA持续优于基于效用、机器学习及其他大模型方法,F1得分提升至少6.5%。消融实验表明,两个阶段均至关重要且互补,任一移除均导致性能明显下降。通过有机整合符号效用建模与语义适配,ATHENA为人类中心决策建模提供了新范式。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Decision-making models for individuals, particularly in high-stakes scenarios like vaccine uptake, often diverge from population optimal predictions. This gap arises from the uniqueness of the individual decision-making process, shaped by numerical attributes (e.g., cost, time) and linguistic influences (e.g., personal preferences and constraints). Developing upon Utility Theory and leveraging the textual-reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), this paper proposes an Adaptive Textual-symbolic Human-centric Reasoning framework (ATHENA) to address the optimal information integration. ATHENA uniquely integrates two stages: First, it discovers robust, group-level symbolic utility functions via LLM-augmented symbolic discovery; Second, it implements individual-level semantic adaptation, creating personalized semantic templates guided by the optimal utility to model personalized choices. Validated on real-world travel mode and vaccine choice tasks, ATHENA consistently outperforms utility-based, machine learning, and other LLM-based models, lifting F1 score by at least 6.5% over the strongest cutting-edge models. Further, ablation studies confirm that both stages of ATHENA are critical and complementary, as removing either clearly degrades overall predictive performance. By organically integrating symbolic utility modeling and semantic adaptation, ATHENA provides a new scheme for modeling human-centric decisions.
