  • 通过大模型提炼评论为带原文支持句的要点卡,构建共享概念库
  • 在六个跨域推荐任务中均超越基线,且解释通过删减与充分性检验
  • 适合需要透明、可修改推荐理由的场景,如公平性审查

冷启动跨域推荐(CDR)系统仅凭用户在源域的行为预测其在目标域的偏好,但现有模型要么使用难以解释的嵌入映射,要么依赖事后生成或大模型生成的推理,难以审计。我们提出EviSnap,一个轻量级的CDR框架,其预测结果从构建之初就具备基于证据的忠实解释。EviSnap离线利用大模型将嘈杂的评论提炼为紧凑的特征卡片,并为每个特征匹配原始支持句。通过聚类特征嵌入构建共享的、领域无关的概念库,并基于证据加权池化计算用户正向、负向及物品存在性概念激活值。单一线性概念到概念映射实现用户跨域迁移,线性评分头输出各概念的可加贡献,支持精确得分分解与基于引文的反事实'若...会怎样'编辑。在Amazon Reviews数据集上对Books、Movies和Music之间的六组跨域转移任务进行实验,EviSnap始终优于强基线映射与文本模型,且通过了删除测试与充分性测试,验证了解释的忠实性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Cold-start cross-domain recommender (CDR) systems predict a user's preferences in a target domain using only their source-domain behavior, yet existing CDR models either map opaque embeddings or rely on post-hoc or LLM-generated rationales that are hard to audit. We introduce EviSnap a lightweight CDR framework whose predictions are explained by construction with evidence-cited, faithful rationales. EviSnap distills noisy reviews into compact facet cards using an LLM offline, pairing each facet with verbatim supporting sentences. It then induces a shared, domain-agnostic concept bank by clustering facet embeddings and computes user-positive, user-negative, and item-presence concept activations via evidence-weighted pooling. A single linear concept-to-concept map transfers users across domains, and a linear scoring head yields per-concept additive contributions, enabling exact score decompositions and counterfactual 'what-if' edits grounded in the cited sentences. Experiments on the Amazon Reviews dataset across six transfers among Books, Movies, and Music show that EviSnap consistently outperforms strong mapping and review-text baselines while passing deletion- and sufficiency-based tests for explanation faithfulness.
