Personalized Recommendation Tool Learning via Autonomous Language Agents

Although large language models (LLMs) have recently gained traction in recommender systems due to their strong reasoning capabilities and extensive world knowledge, previous LLM-based agents suffer from hallucination and context-length limitations, and thus are not suitable for full-ranking recommendation tasks. To circumvent these limitations through architectural design rather than modifying the LLM itself, we propose an agent-based recommendation framework, memory-based $\textbf{P}$ersonalized $\textbf{R}$ecommendation $\textbf{T}$ool learning via autonomous language $\textbf{A}$gents (PRTA), in which an LLM acts as a central planner interacting with multiple recommendation models as tools.

GR2 Technical Report

arXiv:2606. 31984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial recommendation systems serve billions of users through a multi-stage funnel -- retrieval, early-stage ranking, and re-ranking -- where the final re-ranking step disproportionately shapes user engagement and downstream performance, particularly for carousel and grid display formats.

Towards Efficient Reasoning in LLM-Based Recommender Systems via Model Merging

arXiv:2608. 10447v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model-based recommender systems are increasingly adopting slow-thinking models that generate step-by-step reasoning before making predictions, often achieving higher accuracy than fast-thinking models that predict directly.

Towards Efficient Reasoning in LLM-Based Recommender Systems via Model Merging

Large language model-based recommender systems are increasingly adopting slow-thinking models that generate step-by-step reasoning before making predictions, often achieving higher accuracy than fast-thinking models that predict directly. However, their reasoning traces are often unnecessarily verbose, increasing inference costs without commensurate accuracy gains.
