Reinforcement Learning-based Recommender Systems with Large Language Models for State Reward and Action Modeling

no code implementations25 Mar 2024 Jie Wang, Alexandros Karatzoglou, Ioannis Arapakis, Joemon M. Jose

The LE is learned from a subset of user-item interaction data, thus reducing the need for large training data, and can synthesise user feedback for offline data by: (i) acting as a state model that produces high quality states that enrich the user representation, and (ii) functioning as a reward model to accurately capture nuanced user preferences on actions.
