About this paper

Ben Kabongo, Vincent Guigue

LMStaR ranks review-derived explanations for a user and target item by encoding their interaction history and item description together, then comparing that representation with separately encoded candidate statements. NDCG measures whether relevant statements rank highly. It leads NDCG@1 across Beauty, Toys, and Yelp, including 20.773 versus CLER’s 12.521 on Toys, but not NDCG@5 on Yelp; user usefulness remains untested.
