GMTRouter is a personalized large language model router that represents multi‑turn user‑LLM interactions as a heterogeneous graph with five node types—user, LLM, query, response, and turn—to preserve relational structure. Using a lightweight inductive graph learning framework and a user‑conditioned graph sampling mechanism, it captures user preferences from few‑shot data, enabling effective personalization without extensive fine‑tuning. Experiments show GMTRouter outperforms strong baselines, improving accuracy by up to 0.108 and AUC by 0.124, and adapts to new users with minimal data.
arXiv:2607. 20737v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph Neural Networks trained on heterogenous bipartite graphs form a common basis in recommendation systems.
arXiv:2607. 25471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) have each advanced recommendation systems by modeling structural and semantic signals, respectively.
The paper presents a method for fine‑tuning a large language model (LLM) recommender to generate personalized, non‑harmful explanations for its recommendations. By training two LLM‑judge reward models and using constrained GRPO, the authors achieve a significant increase in the PASS rate for all three criteria, from 0.649 to 0.956 on their own judges and from 0.677 to 0.931 on an independent judge. The fine‑tuned model maintains its original recommendation performance, demonstrating that LLM‑based recommenders can be adapted to complex tasks without loss of effectiveness.
arXiv:2607. 25420v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in recommender systems, but it is often unclear how much performance can be obtained from strong pre-trained backbones alone when they are placed inside a structured recommendation pipeline.
The paper studies candidate generation for alternative vacation rental recommendations, comparing collaborative filtering, shallow embeddings, and graph neural network (GNN) methods on a platform with over 2 million active properties. A hybrid model that combines item-based collaborative filtering with GNN-based retrieval achieves a 14.8% higher Recall@300 than the best baseline, leveraging each method’s strengths: collaborative filtering for well-interacted properties and GNNs for diverse, cold-start alternatives. The authors also show that stronger candidate pools improve downstream ranking quality, though the exact impact is intertwined with ranker training.
