TalkPlayData 2 introduces a synthetic dataset generated by a multi-agent pipeline featuring specialized LLM roles and multimodal capabilities for conversational music recommendation. The system leverages logged interactions between a Listener and Recsys agent, conditioned on finetuned goals, to simulate diverse recommendation scenarios. This release provides open-source code and data to support training generative recommendation models, validated through both LLM-as-a-judge and subjective evaluations.
TalkPlayData 2: An Agentic Synthetic Data Pipeline for Multimodal Conversational Music Recommendation
arXiv:2509.09685v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present TalkPlayData 2, a synthetic dataset for multimodal conversational music recommendation generated by an agentic data pipeline. In the proposed pipeline, multiple large language model (LLM) agents are created under various roles with specialized prompts and access to different parts of information, and the chat data is acquired by logging the conversation between the Listener LLM and the Recsys LLM. To cover various conversation scenarios, for each conversation, the Listener LLM is conditioned on a finetuned conversation goal. Finally, all the LLMs are multimodal with audio and images, allowing a simulation of multimodal recommendation and conversation. In the LLM-as-a-judge and subjective evaluation experiments, TalkPlayData 2 achieved the proposed goal in various aspects related to training a generative recommendation model for music. TalkPlayData 2 and its generation code are released at https://talkpl-ai.github.io.
