RAH! RecSys-Assistant-Human: A Human-Central Recommendation Framework with Large Language Models
The recommendation ecosystem involves interactions between recommender systems(Computer) and users(Human). Orthogonal to the perspective of recommender systems, we attempt to utilize LLMs from the perspective of users and propose a more human-central recommendation framework named RAH, which consists of Recommender system, Assistant and Human. The assistant is a LLM-based and personal proxy for a human to achieve user satisfaction. The assistant plays a non-invasion role and the RAH framework can adapt to different recommender systems and user groups. Subsequently, we implement and evaluate the RAH framework for learning user personalities and proxy human feedback. The experiment shows that (1) using learn-action-critic and reflection mechanisms can lead more aligned personality and (2) our assistant can effectively proxy human feedback and help adjust recommender systems. Finally, we discuss further strategies in the RAH framework to address human-central concerns including user control, privacy and fairness.
