- 离线用大模型分析评论,生成多视角物品人格画像。
- 线上推理速度提升,性能接近先进模型。
- 结果可解释,适合需要透明推荐的场景。
大语言模型(LLMs)为推荐系统带来新机遇,通过语义理解与上下文推理捕捉用户兴趣与物品特性的细微差异。现有方法常依赖在线推理重排候选物品,导致高延迟,难以部署。本文提出Persona4Rec框架,在离线阶段利用LLM分析物品评论,推断不同用户可能的动机,生成可解释的人格化物品表示;这些表示提供多个可读的物品视角。线上阶段,通过专门编码器将用户画像与最匹配的物品人格对齐,将用户-物品相关性转化为用户-人格相关性,从而避免在线调用大模型,实现轻量级快速打分。实验表明,Persona4Rec在性能上媲美先进基于LLM的重排器,同时显著降低推理时间。定性分析证实,人格表示不仅能高效评分,还提供基于评论的直观解释。该方法为下一代可解释、高效的推荐系统提供了实用解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) offer new opportunities for recommender systems by capturing the nuanced semantics of user interests and item characteristics through rich semantic understanding and contextual reasoning. In particular, LLMs have been employed as rerankers that reorder candidate items based on inferred user-item relevance. However, these approaches often require expensive online inference-time reasoning, leading to high latency that hampers real-world deployment. In this work, we introduce Persona4Rec, a recommendation framework that performs offline reasoning to construct interpretable persona representations of items, enabling lightweight and scalable real-time inference. In the offline stage, Persona4Rec leverages LLMs to reason over item reviews, inferring diverse user motivations that explain why different types of users may engage with an item; these inferred motivations are materialized as persona representations, providing multiple, human-interpretable views of each item. Unlike conventional approaches that rely on a single item representation, Persona4Rec learns to align user profiles with the most plausible item-side persona through a dedicated encoder, effectively transforming user-item relevance into user-persona relevance. At the online stage, this persona-profiled item index allows fast relevance computation without invoking expensive LLM reasoning. Extensive experiments show that Persona4Rec achieves performance comparable to recent LLM-based rerankers while substantially reducing inference time. Moreover, qualitative analysis confirms that persona representations not only drive efficient scoring but also provide intuitive, review-grounded explanations. These results demonstrate that Persona4Rec offers a practical and interpretable solution for next-generation recommender systems.
