用双层神经网络搜索优化推荐系统的解释,让理由更个性化可信。
Bi-NAS: Towards Effective and Personalized Explanation for Recommender Systems via Bi-Level Neural Architecture Search

- 通过双层搜索同时优化注意力和特征交互结构。
- 在4个真实数据集上提升推荐准确率与解释有效性。
- 结合大模型实现零样本生成,解释更贴近用户偏好。
推荐系统在帮助用户应对海量信息中至关重要,能提供个性化建议与有效解释。尽管已有研究尝试生成解释,但其在不同场景下的有效性评估仍具挑战。为提升解释效果,我们提出双层神经架构搜索(Bi-NAS)框架,同时优化层内与层间的设计空间,改进交叉注意力机制与特征交互函数。进一步地,引入大语言模型(LLMs),利用零样本提示生成更具个性化的解释理由。通过将用户特征偏好与物品质量评分对齐,确保解释既反映用户意图也体现物品属性,增强透明度与推理深度。在四个真实世界数据集上的广泛实验表明,Bi-NAS不仅显著提升推荐精度,还大幅改善解释的有效性,使用户获得清晰可靠的建议理解。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recommender systems are vital in helping users navigate vast amounts of information, offering personalized suggestions and effective explanations for these recommendations. While previous efforts have attempted to provide such explanations, evaluating their effectiveness across various scenarios remains a challenge. Enhancing these explanations is essential for improving user engagement, trust, and decision-making. To facilitate effective explanations within the recommender system, we propose a Bi-level Neural Architecture Search (Bi-NAS) framework to optimize explanations. This approach simultaneously refines cross-attention mechanisms and feature interaction functions by exploring both intra-layer and inter-layer design spaces. Furthermore, we integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance explanation generation, leveraging zero-shot prompting to produce more effective and personalized justifications. By aligning user feature preferences with item quality scores, our approach ensures that explanations reflect both user intent and item attributes, improving transparency and reasoning depth. Extensive evaluations on four real-world datasets demonstrate that Bi-NAS not only boosts recommendation accuracy but also significantly improves the effectiveness of explanations for recommender systems, providing users with clear and reliable insights into the suggestions they receive.
