QD-Rec Applies Open-Ended Evolution to Recommendation Tasks
The shift here is from optimising for one best answer to building an archive of diverse, reasoned recommendations — useful when a decision maker needs options, not rankings.

The authors note limits: results rest on LLM judges, and real deployments would need fresh data and human expert feedback.
