  • 用户先定需求,平台竞争推荐机会,打破传统平台主导模式。
  • 平台为夺关注,73%-78%首屏推荐使用选择性正面解释,影响用户判断。
  • 引入用户反馈机制后,推荐更公正,购买转化率提升,适合设计新推荐系统者参考。

在线推荐传统上在用户进入平台后进行,由平台决定候选集与排序。基于大模型的用户代理使推荐过程发生变化:用户在选择平台前先提出需求,平台则需竞争用户注意力,我们称之为智能推荐市场。在三个产品领域的受控大模型实验中发现,这一新范式带来访问与注意力之间的张力。相较于传统平台中心化推荐,用户中心化推荐显著扩大了相关商品进入比较的机会;但更广泛参与并未直接转化为有效曝光。竞争直接引发平台策略行为:选择性正面解释占据首屏73%-78%的位置。当用户代理将平台行为与后续用户反馈关联时,该比例下降至36%-41%,同时用户购买相关商品的概率上升。因此,用户代理不仅是对更大候选池的排序器,其查询、排序与反馈机制决定了谁能参与、注意力如何分配,以及早期结果如何影响平台评价,直接影响用户效用。设计智能推荐必须将访问、注意力与问责视为联合机制设计问题。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Online recommendation has traditionally taken place after a user enters a platform, which determines the candidate pool and the ranking shown to the user. LLM-based user agents enable a different recommendation process: a user specifies a need before choosing a platform, leaving platforms to compete for the user's attention, which we refer to as an agentic recommendation market. In our controlled LLM-based experiments across three product domains, we find this new setting of recommendation creates a tension between access and attention. Compared with traditional platform-centric recommendation, user-centric recommendation greatly expands the opportunity for relevant items to enter comparison; yet broader participation does not translate directly into effective exposure. Competition directly triggers platforms' strategic play: selectively positive explanations occupy 73--78% of first-ranked positions. When the user agent relates platforms' actions to subsequent user feedback, this share falls to 36--41%, while the chance of a user purchasing the relevant item increases. A user agent is therefore more than a ranker over a larger pool of candidates: its querying, ranking, and feedback mechanism governing who can compete, how scarce attention is allocated, and how earlier outcomes shape the evaluation of platforms directly affect user utility. Designing agentic recommendation therefore requires treating access, attention, and accountability as a joint mechanism design problem.
