Recent studies have shown that providing personalized explanations alongside
recommendations increases trust and perceived quality. Furthermore, it gives
users an opportunity to refine the recommendations by critiquing parts of the
explanations. On one hand, current recommender systems model the
recommendation, explanation, and critiquing objectives jointly, but this
creates an inherent trade-off between their respective performance. On the
other hand, although recent latent linear critiquing approaches are built upon
an existing recommender system, they suffer from computational inefficiency at
inference due to the objective optimized at each conversation's turn. We
address these deficiencies with M&Ms-VAE, a novel variational autoencoder for
recommendation and explanation that is based on multimodal modeling
assumptions. We train the model under a weak supervision scheme to simulate
both fully and partially observed variables. Then, we leverage the
generalization ability of a trained M&Ms-VAE model to embed the user preference
and the critique separately. Our work's most important innovation is our
critiquing module, which is built upon and trained in a self-supervised manner
with a simple ranking objective. Experiments on four real-world datasets
demonstrate that among state-of-the-art models, our system is the first to
dominate or match the performance in terms of recommendation, explanation, and
multi-step critiquing. Moreover, M&Ms-VAE processes the critiques up to 25.6x
faster than the best baselines. Finally, we show that our model infers coherent
joint and cross generation, even under weak supervision, thanks to our
multimodal-based modeling and training scheme.

基于VAE的推荐系统的快速多步批注
最近的研究表明,在提供建议的同时提供个性化的说明可以提高信任度和感知质量。此外,它为用户提供了通过对部分解释进行批判来完善建议的机会。一方面,当前的推荐器系统共同对推荐,说明和批评目标进行建模,但这在它们各自的性能之间产生了固有的权衡。另一方面,尽管最近的潜在线性批判方法是建立在现有推荐系统上的,但由于在每次对话时都要进行优化的目标,因此它们在推理上会遇到计算效率低下的问题。我们使用M&Ms-VAE来解决这些缺陷,M&Ms-VAE是一种新颖的变体自动编码器,用于基于多模态建模假设的建议和解释。我们在弱监督方案下训练模型,以模拟全部和部分观测到的变量。然后,我们利用受过训练的M&Ms-VAE模型的泛化能力分别嵌入用户偏好和评论。我们工作最重要的创新是我们的评分模块,该模块以自我监督的方式构建和培训,并具有简单的排名目标。在四个真实数据集上进行的实验表明,在最先进的模型中,我们的系统是第一个在推荐,说明和多步骤批注方面支配或匹配性能的系统。此外,M&Ms-VAE处理批注的速度比最佳基准快25.6倍。最后,我们证明了即使在弱监督下,我们的模型也可以推断出连贯的联合和交叉生成,
