FacetCRS is a conversational recommender system that tackles the filter‑bubble problem by learning multi‑faceted user preferences—entity, word, context, and review facets—through natural language interactions. The framework adaptively models these preference facets and incorporates external knowledge to provide diverse recommendations. Experiments on two benchmark datasets show that FacetCRS outperforms existing methods in reducing filter bubbles and improving recommendation quality.
The article surveys graph foundation models (GFMs) for recommender systems, highlighting how they combine graph neural networks (GNNs) and large language models (LLMs) to better capture user-item relationships and textual data. It offers a taxonomy of current GFM approaches, discusses methodological details, and identifies key challenges and future research directions. The survey aims to provide comprehensive insights into the evolving landscape of GFM-based recommender systems.

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 documents the migration of a live conversational recommendation system from a gradient‑boosted multiclass model to a pairwise‑binary deep recommender. It explains how reformulating the task, using negative sampling, noise injection, and attention pooling over transcript chunks enabled the new model to handle dynamic, multimodal data and long conversation context. The authors compare several architectures and loss functions, showing that the deep recommender matches or surpasses the CatBoost baseline, especially in later conversational stages.
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.
