为电商推荐系统添加产品碳足迹数据,推动可持续算法发展。
Eco-Amazon: Enriching E-commerce Datasets with Product Carbon Footprint for Sustainable Recommendations
- 用大模型零样本估算商品碳足迹,补充原数据集
- 在三个亚马逊数据集上加入碳排放值,支持可持续推荐研究
- 开源工具与数据,适合环保算法与绿色AI研究者使用
在负责任和可持续的AI时代,信息检索与推荐系统需超越传统准确率指标,纳入环境可持续性考量。然而,这一方向受限于标准基准中缺乏物品级环境影响数据。本文提出Eco-Amazon,一个全新资源,旨在填补这一空白。该资源包含三个广泛使用的亚马逊数据集(家居、服装、电子产品)的增强版本,新增了产品碳足迹(PCF)元数据。通过基于大语言模型(LLMs)的零样本框架,我们依据商品属性估算出各商品的二氧化碳当量(CO2e)排放得分。本研究贡献有三:(i) 发布Eco-Amazon数据集,为物品元数据添加碳足迹信号;(ii) 开源基于LLM的碳足迹估算脚本,支持任意商品目录扩展及结果复现;(iii) 展示如何利用碳足迹估计促进更可持续商品的推荐。该资源使社区能够开发、评测下一代可持续检索与推荐模型。数据集可通过https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18549130获取,源代码见http://github.com/giuspillo/EcoAmazon/
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In the era of responsible and sustainable AI, information retrieval and recommender systems must expand their scope beyond traditional accuracy metrics to incorporate environmental sustainability. However, this research line is severely limited by the lack of item-level environmental impact data in standard benchmarks. This paper introduces Eco-Amazon, a novel resource designed to bridge this gap. Our resource consists of an enriched version of three widely used Amazon datasets (i.e., Home, Clothing, and Electronics) augmented with Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) metadata. CO2e emission scores were generated using a zero-shot framework that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to estimate item-level PCF based on product attributes. Our contribution is three-fold: (i) the release of the Eco-Amazon datasets, enriching item metadata with PCF signals; (ii) the LLM-based PCF estimation script, which allows researchers to enrich any product catalogue and reproduce our results; (iii) a use case demonstrating how PCF estimates can be exploited to promote more sustainable products. By providing these environmental signals, Eco-Amazon enables the community to develop, benchmark, and evaluate the next generation of sustainable retrieval and recommendation models. Our resource is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18549130, while our source code is available at: http://github.com/giuspillo/EcoAmazon/.
