Stochastic Primal-Dual Decoding for Multiobjective Generative Recommender Systems
In practice, recommendation often involves constructing slates -- ordered lists of items -- that must satisfy multiple objectives beyond relevance, such as constraints defined over item attributes or fairness constraints. Existing multiobjective approaches either rely on post-processing techniques designed for non-generative settings, or incorporate auxiliary objectives directly into model training. The former does not explicitly account for the sequential nature of generative RS, while the latter is often impractical in large-scale systems.
