UserMirrorrer-Qwen-DPO

This is a fine-tuned user simulator model introduced in the paper "Mirroring Users: Towards Building Preference-aligned User Simulator with User Feedback in Recommendation".

The model is designed to simulate user behavior in recommender systems (RSs) by leveraging extensive user feedback to achieve better preference alignment. It uses decision-making processes as explanatory rationales to reduce ambiguity in simulation samples.
