现有多模态推荐系统在特征融合上表现优异,但决策过程不透明且低效,缺乏显式推理与不确定性自知能力。我们提出ReasonRec,一种基于三阶段显式推理流水线的增强型多模态智能体。通过推理感知的视觉指令调优策略,将多样推荐任务统一转化为思维链(CoT)提示,使视觉语言模型能明确表达中间决策步骤。同时,证据视野课程训练逐步提升推理复杂度,显著改善冷启动与长尾用户场景下的泛化能力。此外,不确定性引导的委托机制使智能体可评估自身置信度,动态将最多35%的请求交由高效子模型处理,兼顾精度与推理效率。在五个真实世界数据集上的四类标准推荐任务中,ReasonRec相较当前最优多模态推荐模型,在关键排序指标上实现超过30%的相对提升。大量消融实验验证了各推理与规划机制对整体性能的独立贡献。结果表明,通过显式推理与代理设计,可实现可解释、自适应、高效的多模态推荐。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recent advances in multimodal recommenders excel at feature fusion but remain opaque and inefficient decision-makers, lacking explicit reasoning and self-awareness of uncertainty. We introduce ReasonRec, a reasoning-augmented multimodal agent structured around a three-stage explicit reasoning pipeline. Specifically, we propose a reasoning-aware visual instruction tuning strategy that systematically transforms diverse recommendation tasks into unified CoT prompts, enabling the VLM to explicitly articulate intermediate decision steps. Additionally, our evidence-horizon curriculum progressively enhances the reasoning complexity to better handle cold-start and long-tail user scenarios, significantly boosting model generalization. Furthermore, the uncertainty-guided delegation mechanism empowers the agent to assess its own confidence, strategically allocating computational resources to optimize both recommendation accuracy and inference efficiency. Comprehensive experiments on four standard recommendation tasks across five real-world datasets demonstrate that ReasonRec achieves over 30% relative improvement in key ranking metrics compared to state-of-the-art multimodal recommenders. Crucially, ReasonRec substantially reduces inference latency by dynamically delegating up to 35% of queries to efficient sub-models without compromising accuracy. Extensive ablation studies further confirm that each proposed reasoning and planning mechanism individually contributes substantially to ReasonRec's overall effectiveness. Collectively, our results illustrate a clear pathway towards interpretable, adaptive, and efficient multimodal recommendation through explicit reasoning and agentic design.
