让推荐解释更符合用户偏好,避免自相矛盾的推荐理由。

Beyond Factual Correctness: Mitigating Preference-Inconsistent Explanations in Explainable Recommendation

  • 先选证据再生成,筛选与用户偏好一致的推理路径。
  • 在三个真实数据集上显著减少不一致解释,保持推荐精度。
  • 适合关注可信赖推荐解释的研究者和工程师。

基于大模型的可解释推荐系统虽能生成语法流畅、事实正确的解释,却常使用与用户历史偏好冲突的属性来支持推荐,导致逻辑成立但缺乏说服力。这类偏好不一致的解释未被现有幻觉或忠实度指标捕捉。本文提出PURE框架,采用‘先选后生成’范式,通过用户意图、具体性与多样性引导,选择紧凑且多跳的以项目为中心的推理路径,确保事实准确并契合用户偏好结构;随后通过结构感知提示注入模型,保留关系约束。为评估偏好一致性,引入特征级、用户中心的评测指标,揭示了传统方法忽略的偏差。在三个真实数据集上的实验表明,PURE持续降低偏好不一致解释和事实幻觉,同时维持优异的推荐准确率、解释质量与推理效率。结果强调:可信解释不仅需事实正确,更需与用户偏好一致。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

LLM-based explainable recommenders can produce fluent explanations that are factually correct, yet still justify items using attributes that conflict with a user's historical preferences. Such preference-inconsistent explanations yield logically valid but unconvincing reasoning and are largely missed by standard hallucination or faithfulness metrics. We formalize this failure mode and propose PURE, a preference-aware reasoning framework following a select-then-generate paradigm. Instead of only improving generation, PURE intervenes in evidence selection, it selects a compact set of multi-hop item-centric reasoning paths that are both factually grounded and aligned with user preference structure, guided by user intent, specificity, and diversity to suppress generic, weakly personalized evidence. The selected evidence is then injected into LLM generation via structure-aware prompting that preserves relational constraints. To measure preference inconsistency, we introduce a feature-level, user-centric evaluation metric that reveals misalignment overlooked by factuality-based measures. Experiments on three real-world datasets show that PURE consistently reduces preference-inconsistent explanations and factual hallucinations while maintaining competitive recommendation accuracy, explanation quality, and inference efficiency. These results highlight that trustworthy explanations require not only factual correctness but also justification aligned with user preferences.
