最近写论文的时候发现自己的逻辑表达等各个方面总是差点意思,想要和一些顶刊文章学习一下方方面面。因此想要开设一个专栏【跟着顶刊学写论文】来记录我的所思所想,并和大家分享一起讨论。
今天分享的内容是摘要 ,来自发表在 ICLR 2025 Oral上的论文《Language Representations Can be What Recommenders Need: Findings and Potentials》。

我们按照局部->整体的顺序来学习借鉴这篇摘要。
首先来分析每一个句子:
① Recent studies empirically indicate that language models (LMs) encode rich world knowledge beyond mere semantics, ++attracting significant attention across various fields.++
翻译:近期的实证研究表明,语言模型(LMs)编码了丰富的世界知识,而非仅局限于语义知识,这一发现已在各领域引发了广泛关注。
借鉴 :介绍一种技术的成功:Recent studies empirically indicate that + 技术的成功(技术的作用,attracting significant attention across various fields)
② However, in the recommendation domain, it remains uncertain whether LMs implicitly encode user preference information.**翻译:**然而,目前尚不清楚大语言模型是否在推荐系统中隐式编码了用户偏好信息。
借鉴: 描述技术在某个方面的局限性:However, it remains uncertain ...
③ Contrary to prevailing understanding that LMs and traditional recommenders learn two distinct representation spaces due to the huge gap in language and behavior modeling objectives, this work re-examines such understanding and explores extracting a recommendation space directly from the language representation space.**翻译:**传统观点认为,由于语言模型与传统推荐系统在语言与行为建模目标上存在显著差异,二者会学习到两种截然不同的表征空间。与之相反,本研究重新审视这一观点,探索直接从语言表征空间中提取推荐空间的可能性。
借鉴: 引出造成局限性的传统观点并进行破局尝试:Contrary to prevailing understanding that (要推翻的观点), this work re-examines such understanding and explores(新观点)
④ Surprisingly, our findings demonstrate that item representations, when linearly mapped from advanced LM representations, yield superior recommendation performance.**翻译:**令人惊讶的是,我们的研究结果表明:当项目表征通过先进语言模型的表征进行线性映射时,可带来更优异的推荐性能。
借鉴: 总体介绍尝试的成功:Surprisingly, our findings demonstrate that(..., yield superior performance.)
⑤ This outcome suggests the possible homomorphism between the advanced language representation space and an effective item representation space for recommendation, implying that collaborative signals may be implicitly encoded within LMs.**翻译:**该结果表明,高级语言表征空间与推荐系统中有效的物品表征空间可能存在同态映射,意味着协作信号可能被隐式编码于语言模型之中。
借鉴: 介绍实验结果的意义:This outcome suggests(推论) ,implying that(进一步的意义)
⑥ Motivated by the finding of homomorphism, we explore the possibility of designing advanced collaborative filtering (CF) models purely based on language representations without ID-based embeddings.**翻译:**受到同态性发现的启发,我们探索了一种可能性:完全基于语言表征(而非基于ID的嵌入)来设计先进的协同过滤(CF)模型。
借鉴: 由可喜的实验结果启发了创新:Motivated by the finding of(发现的性质等), we explore the possibility of(创新点)
⑦ To be specific, ++we incorporate++ several crucial components (i.e., a multilayer perceptron (MLP), graph convolution, and contrastive learning (CL) loss function) ++to build++ a simple yet effective model, ++with++ the language representations of item textual metadata (i.e., title) ++as the input++.**翻译:**具体而言,我们整合了多层感知机(MLP)、图卷积和对比学习(CL)损失函数等关键组件,构建了一个简洁高效的模型,并以商品文本元数据(如标题)的语言表征作为输入。
借鉴: 详细介绍创新点:To be specific, ...
⑧ Empirical results show that such a simple model ++can outperform++ leading ID-based CF models on multiple datasets, which sheds light on using language representations for better recommendation.**翻译:**实证结果表明,这种简单模型在多个数据集上能超越领先的基于ID的协同过滤模型,这为利用语言表征提升推荐效果提供了新的思路。
借鉴: 介绍成功的实验结果:Empirical results show that (实验成功),which sheds light on(新的潜力与方向)
⑨ Moreover, we systematically analyze this simple model and find several key features for using advanced language representations: a good initialization for item representations, superior zero-shot recommendation abilities in new datasets, and being aware of user intention.**翻译:**此外,我们系统分析了这一简单模型,并发现使用高级语言表征的几个关键特征:良好的物品表征初始化能力、在新数据集上优异的零样本推荐性能,以及对用户意图的识别能力。
借鉴: 对模型进一步分析:Moreover, we systematically analyze ... and find ...
⑩ Our findings highlight the connection between language modeling and behavior modeling, which can inspire both natural language processing and recommender system communities.**翻译:**我们的研究结果凸显了语言建模与行为建模之间的关联,这一发现可为自然语言处理与推荐系统领域同时带来启发。
借鉴: 总述论文研究的意义:Our findings highlight(研究的结果), which can inspire(更长远的发展)
