- Abstract summary: We design a novel end-to-end framework, namely, Review-augmented Conversational Recommender (RevCore), where reviews are seamlessly incorporated to enrich item information.
In detail, we extract sentiment-consistent reviews, perform review-enriched and entity-based recommendations for item suggestions, as well as use a review-attentive encoder-decoder for response generation.

- Abstract: Existing conversational recommendation (CR) systems usually suffer from
insufficient item information when conducted on short dialogue history and
unfamiliar items. Incorporating external information (e.g., reviews) is a
potential solution to alleviate this problem. Given that reviews often provide
a rich and detailed user experience on different interests, they are potential
ideal resources for providing high-quality recommendations within an
informative conversation. In this paper, we design a novel end-to-end
framework, namely, Review-augmented Conversational Recommender (RevCore), where
reviews are seamlessly incorporated to enrich item information and assist in
generating both coherent and informative responses. In detail, we extract
sentiment-consistent reviews, perform review-enriched and entity-based
recommendations for item suggestions, as well as use a review-attentive
encoder-decoder for response generation. Experimental results demonstrate the
superiority of our approach in yielding better performance on both
recommendation and conversation responding.

We propose an empathetic conversational recommender (ECR) framework.
ECR contains two main modules: emotion-aware item recommendation and emotion-aligned response generation.
Our experiments on the ReDial dataset validate the efficacy of our framework in enhancing recommendation accuracy and improving user satisfaction.

Fine-grained feedback captures nuanced distinctions in image quality and prompt-alignment.
We show that demonstrating its superiority to coarse-grained feedback is not automatic.
We identify key challenges in eliciting and utilizing fine-grained feedback.

In ad-hoc retrieval, evaluation relies heavily on user actions, including implicit feedback.
The role of user feedback in annotators' assessment of turns in a conversational perception has been little studied.
We focus on how the evaluation of task-oriented dialogue systems ( TDSs) is affected by considering user feedback, explicit or implicit, as provided through the follow-up utterance of a turn being evaluated.

We propose to incorporate a geometric prior learnt from user-item interactions into a variational network.
Latent factors from an individual user-item pair can be used for both recommendation and explanation generation.
Experimental results on three e-commerce datasets show that our model significantly improves the interpretability of a variational recommender.

We propose DICR (Dual Imitation for Conversational Recommendation), which designs a dual imitation to explicitly align the recommendation paths and user interest shift paths.
By exchanging alignment signals, DICR achieves bidirectional promotion between recommendation and conversation modules.
Experiments demonstrate that DICR outperforms the state-of-the-art models on recommendation and conversation performance with automatic, human, and novel explainability metrics.

We evaluate EGCR on one benchmark conversational recommendation datasets and achieve better performance on both recommendation accuracy and conversation quality than other state-of-the art models.

We investigate a growing body of work that seeks to improve recommender systems through the use of review text.
Our initial findings reveal several discrepancies in reported results, partly due to copying results across papers despite changes in experimental settings or data pre-processing.
Further investigation calls for discussion on a much larger problem about the "importance" of user reviews for recommendation.
