RecoAtlas: From Semantic Plausibility to Set-Level Utility in LLM Recommendation Agents
The paper introduces RecoAtlas, a benchmark and toolkit designed for evaluating LLM recommendation agents. It emphasizes the importance of behavior-grounded metrics over traditional evaluations that focus solely on semantic plausibility. The findings suggest that RecoAtlas can enhance the development of shopping assistants by optimizing for coherent and relevant recommendation sets.
- ▪RecoAtlas is a benchmark for evaluating shopping agents with behavior-grounded metrics.
- ▪It measures relevance, complementarity, and diversity derived from interaction data.
- ▪The toolkit reveals that semantic plausibility does not necessarily reflect behavior-grounded utility.

Yet existing evaluations often reduce this setting to reranking small shortlisted candidate sets or judge reports mainly by semantic plausibility.
