TSPORec: Token Selection via Preference Optimization for LLM-Based Sequential Recommendation
arXiv:2608. 09605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for improving recommendation systems.
The paper introduces ED$^2$, an end‑to‑end large language model–based sequential recommender that integrates index generation and recommendation through a dual dynamic index mechanism. It employs a multigrained token regulator for alignment supervision and custom instruction‑tuning tasks to capture high‑order user‑item interactions. Experiments on three public datasets show ED$^2$ outperforms baselines with an average 19.62% gain in Hit‑Rate and 21.11% in NDCG.

arXiv:2603. 23183v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in generative recommendation have leveraged pretrained LLMs by formulating sequential recommendation as autoregressive generation over a unified token space comprising language tokens and itemic identifiers, where each item is represented by a compact sequence of discrete tokens, namely Semantic IDs (SIDs).
LIGE‑GR is a framework that transitions traditional ranking‑based recommender systems to a generative, listwise approach inspired by large language models. It extends existing pointwise recommendation models into a listwise generation system, enabling sequence‑level optimization without overhauling the entire infrastructure. Experiments on Instagram Reels and Facebook Video show modest gains in user time spent—1.14 % and 0.72 % respectively—while adding only slight inference overhead.

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.
