让大模型推荐更可信,通过边推理边验证防止错误累积

Verifiable Reasoning for LLM-based Generative Recommendation

  • 提出'推理-验证-推荐'新范式,中间插入验证环节纠正错误
  • 在四个真实数据集上显著提升推荐效果,且不增加计算开销
  • 适合关注大模型推荐可靠性与可解释性的研究者和工程师

大语言模型在生成式推荐中展现出通过深入理解复杂用户偏好来增强推荐的潜力。现有方法采用'先推理再推荐'范式,但因缺乏中间验证,易出现推理退化(如推理同质化或错误累积),影响推荐质量。为此,本文提出全新的'推理-验证-推荐'范式,通过在推理过程中穿插验证,提供可靠反馈,引导推理更贴近真实用户偏好。为实现有效验证,提出两个关键设计原则:可靠性(准确评估推理正确性并生成有用指导)与多维性(覆盖多维度用户偏好)。据此,提出VRec方法:采用多验证器组合保证多维性,利用代理预测目标提升可靠性。在四个真实数据集上的实验表明,VRec显著提升推荐效果与可扩展性,且不牺牲效率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reasoning in Large Language Models (LLMs) has recently shown strong potential in enhancing generative recommendation through deep understanding of complex user preference. Existing approaches follow a {reason-then-recommend} paradigm, where LLMs perform step-by-step reasoning before item generation. However, this paradigm inevitably suffers from reasoning degradation (i.e., homogeneous or error-accumulated reasoning) due to the lack of intermediate verification, thus undermining the recommendation. To bridge this gap, we propose a novel \textbf{\textit{reason-verify-recommend}} paradigm, which interleaves reasoning with verification to provide reliable feedback, guiding the reasoning process toward more faithful user preference understanding. To enable effective verification, we establish two key principles for verifier design: 1) reliability ensures accurate evaluation of reasoning correctness and informative guidance generation; and 2) multi-dimensionality emphasizes comprehensive verification across multi-dimensional user preferences. Accordingly, we propose an effective implementation called VRec. It employs a mixture of verifiers to ensure multi-dimensionality, while leveraging a proxy prediction objective to pursue reliability. Experiments on four real-world datasets demonstrate that VRec substantially enhances recommendation effectiveness and scalability without compromising efficiency.
