日益增长的环境可持续性(如减少碳排放和资源消耗)和公共健康问题,推动了绿色推荐系统的发展,旨在引导用户选择更环保、更健康的商品。然而,现有方法多需从头训练新模型,计算与能耗成本高;基于重排序的方法则在推理阶段引入额外排序环节,增加延迟和计算开销。本文提出GRACE(Green Recommendation via Adaptive Conflict-rEsolution),一种将物品级可持续性信号(如生态评分或健康指数)融入预训练推荐模型的微调框架。由于这些绿色数值通常为离散且不可微,现有方法常依赖成对比较来促进更绿色物品的推荐。GRACE则引入可微近似,实现对绿色目标的直接优化。为平衡可持续性与个性化质量,GRACE进一步采用梯度投影机制,在微调过程中缓解绿色目标与准确率目标之间的冲突。在真实数据集上的实验表明,GRACE显著提升面向可持续性的推荐表现,同时通过可控的偏好锚定更新机制,总体保持推荐精度。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Growing concern about environmental sustainability (e.g., reducing carbon emissions and resource use) and public health has motivated ``green'' recommender systems that steer users toward more eco-friendly and healthier choices. However, many existing green recommendation approaches require training new models from scratch, incurring substantial computational and energy costs. Reranking-based methods, meanwhile, introduce an additional sorting stage at inference, increasing latency and computational cost. In this work, we propose GRACE (Green Recommendation via Adaptive Conflict-rEsolution), a fine-tuning framework that integrates item-level sustainability signals (e.g., eco-scores or health indices) into pretrained recommendation models. Since these green values are usually discrete and non-differentiable, existing methods often rely on pairwise comparisons to promote greener items. GRACE instead introduces a differentiable approximation that enables direct optimization of the green criterion. To balance sustainability and personalization quality, GRACE further employs a gradient projection mechanism to mitigate conflicts between the green objective and the accuracy objective during fine-tuning. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that GRACE improves sustainability-oriented recommendation outcomes while generally preserving recommendation accuracy through a controllable preference-anchored update mechanism.
