DeepInterestGR: Mining Deep Multi-Interest Using Multi-Modal LLMs for Generative Recommendation
Abstract
We introduce DeepInterestGR, a novel framework that integrates deep interest mining into the generative recommendation pipeline. This addresses the "Shallow Interest" problem - existing generative methods rely on surface-level textual features and fail to capture latent user motivations, limiting personalization depth and recommendation interpretability. Our approach leverages Multi-LLM Interest Mining (MLIM) via structured reasoning prompting, Reward-Labeled Deep Interest (RLDI) for quality control, and Interest-Enhanced Item Discretization (IEID) via RQ-VAE, combined with a two-stage SFT-GRPO training pipeline guided by an Interest-Aware Reward. We validate DeepInterestGR on three Amazon Review benchmarks (Beauty, Sports, Instruments), comparing against 14 state-of-the-art baselines including SASRec, BERT4Rec, TIGER, LC-Rec, and S-DPO. Our method achieves 5.8%-8.3% relative improvements on HR@10 and 7.7%-9.9% on NDCG@10 over the strongest baseline, with cross-domain generalization gains of +24.8%. These results provide evidence that incorporating deep semantic interests can effectively improve SID-based generative recommendation.
