Meta's AIMS trains LLM recommenders to follow user requests over misleading history

_reachsumit · x · 2026-10-05

Meta researchers propose AIMS (Asymmetric Intervention-Guided Margin Supervision, arXiv 2610.02600) for instruction-guided generative recommendation. When interaction history conflicts with the current request, history events can override it. Naively converting per-event deletion effects into supervision fails: the most influential events aren't necessarily supportive, and removing a misleading event can raise a competitor's score even more. AIMS uses a frozen reference model to find deletions that improve both the target's score and its margin over a nearby competitor, converting those margins into ranking supervision while keeping full history as input.
