📝 摘要(中文)
理解用户的喜好相对简单,而理解用户的不喜欢则是一项具有挑战性的未被充分探索的问题。随着负面偏好的研究日益重要,许多平台引入了显式的负反馈机制,以优化推荐模型。现有方法主要将负反馈作为辅助信号,忽视了直接建模负面兴趣的价值。本文提出了首个大型语言模型框架,专门设计了上下文识别模块,以解决负面反馈建模中的挑战。通过语义ID表示替代文本描述,并引入项目级对齐任务,增强了模型对负反馈语义上下文的理解。此外,设计了渐进式GRPO训练范式,动态平衡正负行为上下文的利用,提出的新奖励函数和评估指标基于多日未来负反馈,旨在缓解传统预测目标与用户真实负面偏好之间的错位。

📄 摘要(原文)
Understanding what users like is relatively straightforward; understanding what users dislike, however, remains a challenging and underexplored problem. Research into users' negative preferences has gained increasing importance in modern recommendation systems. Numerous platforms have introduced explicit negative feedback mechanisms and leverage such signals to refine their recommendation models. Beyond traditional business metrics, user experience-driven metrics, such as negative feedback rates, have become critical indicators for evaluating system performance. However, most existing approaches primarily use negative feedback as an auxiliary signal to enhance positive recommendations, paying little attention to directly modeling negative interests, which can be highly valuable in offline applications. Moreover, due to the inherent sparsity of negative feedback data, models often suffer from context understanding biases induced by positive feedback dominance. To address these challenges, we propose the first large language model framework for negative feedback modeling with special designed context-discerning modules. We use semantic ID Representation to replace text-based item descriptions and introduce an item-level alignment task that enhances the LLM's understanding of the semantic context behind negative feedback. Furthermore, we design a Progressive GRPO training paradigm that enables the model to dynamically balance the positive and negative behavioral context utilization. Besides, our investigation further reveals a fundamental misalignment between the conventional next-negative-item prediction objective and users' true negative preferences, which is heavily influenced by the system's recommendation order. To mitigate this, we propose a novel reward function and evaluation metric grounded in multi-day future negative feedback and their collaborative signals.
