• Abstract summary: We present MobileConvRec, a benchmark dataset for conversational mobile app recommendations. MobileConvRec consists of over 12K multi-turn recommendation-related conversations spanning 45 app categories. We demonstrate that MobileConvRec can serve as an excellent testbed for conversational mobile app recommendation.

• Abstract: Existing recommendation systems have focused on two paradigms: 1- historical user-item interaction-based recommendations and 2- conversational recommendations. Conversational recommendation systems facilitate natural language dialogues between users and the system, allowing the system to solicit users' explicit needs while enabling users to inquire about recommendations and provide feedback. Due to substantial advancements in natural language processing, conversational recommendation systems have gained prominence. Existing conversational recommendation datasets have greatly facilitated research in their respective domains. Despite the exponential growth in mobile users and apps in recent years, research in conversational mobile app recommender systems has faced substantial constraints. This limitation can primarily be attributed to the lack of high-quality benchmark datasets specifically tailored for mobile apps. To facilitate research for conversational mobile app recommendations, we introduce MobileConvRec. MobileConvRec simulates conversations by leveraging real user interactions with mobile apps on the Google Play store, originally captured in large-scale mobile app recommendation dataset MobileRec. The proposed conversational recommendation dataset synergizes sequential user-item interactions, which reflect implicit user preferences, with comprehensive multi-turn conversations to effectively grasp explicit user needs. MobileConvRec consists of over 12K multi-turn recommendation-related conversations spanning 45 app categories. Moreover, MobileConvRec presents rich metadata for each app such as permissions data, security and privacy-related information, and binary executables of apps, among others. We demonstrate that MobileConvRec can serve as an excellent testbed for conversational mobile app recommendation through a comparative study of several pre-trained large language models.

  We present empirical studies on conversational recommendation tasks using representative large language models in a zero-shot setting. We construct a new dataset of recommendation-related conversations by scraping a popular discussion website. We observe that even without fine-tuning, large language models can outperform existing fine-tuned conversational recommendation models.

  Narrative-driven recommendation (NDR) presents an information access problem where users solicit recommendations with verbose descriptions of their preferences and context. NDR lacks abundant training data for models, and current platforms commonly do not support these requests. We use large language models (LLMs) for data augmentation to train NDR models.

  We propose a collaborative augmentation (COLA) method to improve both item representation learning and user preference modeling. We construct an interactive user-item graph from all conversations, which augments item representations with user-aware information. To improve user preference modeling, we retrieve similar conversations from the training corpus, where the involved items and attributes that reflect the user's potential interests are used to augment the user representation.

  Conversational recommender systems (CRS) aim to recommend high-quality items to users through interactive conversations. First, the conversation data itself lacks of sufficient contextual information for accurately understanding users' preference. Second, there is a semantic gap between natural language expression and item-level user preference.

  We propose a new task of conversational recommendation over multi-type dialogs, where the bots can proactively and naturally lead a conversation from a non-recommendation dialog to a recommendation dialog. To facilitate the study of this task, we create a human-to-human Chinese dialog dataset emphDuRecDial (about 10k dialogs, 156k utterances) In each dialog, the recommender proactively leads a multi-type dialog to approach recommendation targets and then makes multiple recommendations with rich interaction behavior.
