Rating-aware argument generation for movie reviews with multimodal large language models and a new dataset
摘要
Generating movie review arguments that are both linguistically fluent and semantically consistent with a specific numerical rating remains a challenge for Large Language Models (LLMs), often resulting in rating drift. To address this, we propose a novel Rating-Aware Argument Generation framework designed to produce persuasive arguments aligned with fine-grained rating intensities. We first construct and release the Douban Movie Review Dataset (DMRD), a large-scale Chinese multimodal dataset containing posters, metadata, and rating-labeled reviews, filling a gap in non-English multimodal resources. Our framework integrates these modalities through a two-stage training pipeline: Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) with a rating consistency loss to regularize sentiment intensity, followed by Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) to better align with human quality standards. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is effective in improving rating alignment and mitigating rating drift, achieving a 72.16% rating accuracy while generating coherent and visually grounded arguments. Our DMRD dataset is publicly available and can be found at https://github.com/poriahcorvus/DMRD.
