用无需重训练的编辑方法,让生成式推荐对冷启动商品更准

GenRecEdit: Adapting Model Editing for Generative Recommendation with Cold-Start Items

  • 通过建模序列上下文与生成关系,实现精准编辑
  • 冷启动商品推荐准确率显著提升,仅需重训练9.5%时间
  • 适合需要快速更新的动态推荐场景

生成式推荐(GR)在端到端生成范式下展现出强大潜力,但现有模型存在严重的冷启动崩溃问题:对冷启动商品的推荐准确率可降至接近零。当前解决方案依赖于冷启动交互数据的重新训练,受限于反馈稀疏、计算成本高和更新延迟,难以在快速变化的推荐目录中应用。受自然语言处理中模型编辑启发,我们探索将无需训练的知识注入引入生成式推荐。然而,该方法面临两大挑战:GR缺乏自然语言中常见的主客体绑定,难以实现精准编辑;且缺乏稳定的词元共现模式,导致多词元商品表示注入不可靠。为此,我们提出GenRecEdit,一种专为生成式推荐设计的模型编辑框架。该框架显式建模完整序列上下文与下一个词元生成的关系,采用迭代词元级编辑注入多词元商品表示,并引入一对一触发机制以减少多次编辑间的干扰。在多个数据集上的实验表明,GenRecEdit显著提升了冷启动商品的推荐性能,同时保持原有推荐质量。此外,其仅需约9.5%的重训练时间即可达成效果,支持更高效、频繁的模型更新。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Generative recommendation (GR) has shown strong potential for sequential recommendation in an end-to-end generation paradigm. However, existing GR models suffer from severe cold-start collapse: their recommendation accuracy on cold-start items can drop to near zero. Current solutions typically rely on retraining with cold-start interactions, which is hindered by sparse feedback, high computational cost, and delayed updates, limiting practical utility in rapidly evolving recommendation catalogs. Inspired by model editing in NLP, which enables training-free knowledge injection into large language models, we explore how to bring this paradigm to generative recommendation. This, however, faces two key challenges: GR lacks the explicit subject-object binding common in natural language, making targeted edits difficult; and GR does not exhibit stable token co-occurrence patterns, making the injection of multi-token item representations unreliable. To address these challenges, we propose GenRecEdit, a model editing framework tailored for generative recommendation. GenRecEdit explicitly models the relationship between the full sequence context and next-token generation, adopts iterative token-level editing to inject multi-token item representations, and introduces a one-to-one trigger mechanism to reduce interference among multiple edits during inference. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets show that GenRecEdit substantially improves recommendation performance on cold-start items while preserving the model's original recommendation quality. Moreover, it achieves these gains using only about 9.5% of the training time required for retraining, enabling more efficient and frequent model updates.
