The paper introduces CLARER, a recommendation model that fuses aspect features extracted from textual reviews with rating data to enhance recommendation accuracy and explainability. It learns user and item representations by combining rating-based features via an MLP and aspect-based features via a transformer encoder with contrastive learning. A transformer decoder then generates explanations using the combined representations, and experiments on three benchmark datasets show superior performance over baseline methods in both recommendation accuracy and explanation generation.

Recommender systems are vital in helping users navigate vast amounts of information, offering personalized suggestions and effective explanations for these recommendations. While previous efforts have attempted to provide such explanations, evaluating their effectiveness across various scenarios remains a challenge.

DeepAffinity is a model designed to predict eCommerce users’ future preferences for product aspects such as brand, size, and color, treating this as a temporal prediction problem. It uses small language models with structured prompts and specialized prediction heads, outperforming standard generative fine‑tuning and general‑purpose open‑source LLMs that lack task‑specific tuning. The approach improves recommendation quality on a large multinational eCommerce platform.
