arXiv:2611.13972v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern recommender systems increasingly consider diverse data modalities to enhance model performance. However, the quality of the underlying multimodal data (e.g. data from social media platforms) has received limited attention so far. Focusing on tourism recommendation, we examine real-world challenges encountered when using datasets from Yelp and Instagram. Issues include noise from fake reviews, hallucinated content from LLMs, modality contradictions, and demographic bias. We outline future directions such as quality-aware fusion, structured and controlled LLM-based content generation to reduce hallucinations, and user group differentiation to improve the robustness and reliability of multimodal recommendation systems.
