Towards Personalized Bangla Book Recommendation: A Large-Scale Heterogeneous Book Graph Dataset

arXiv:2602. 12129v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Personalized book recommendation in Bangla literature has been constrained by the lack of structured, large-scale, and publicly available datasets.

Cross-Country Code-Mixing for Generative Recommendation

Cross-Country Code-Mixing for Generative Recommendation (CMRec) is a framework that enhances generative recommendation across different countries by injecting cross-country supervision at the data level. It learns a shared semantic codebook from multi-modal content and behavioral co-occurrence, then synthesizes mixed-country sequences through token-level substitutions that respect both static and dynamic constraints. A context-aware loss reweights these mixed samples based on their plausibility, leading to improved recommendation quality in data-sparse countries while maintaining performance in data-rich markets, as demonstrated by significant gains in advertising revenue and orders in real-world e-commerce experiments.

LIGE-GR: A Smooth Leap from Ranking to Generative Recommendation in the LLM Era

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.

Graph Foundation Models for Recommendation: A Comprehensive Survey

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.

Personalized Recommendation Tool Learning via Autonomous Language Agents

arXiv:2607. 19739v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: 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.

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.

TailSpec-EASE: Knowledge-Graph-Regularized Linear Recommendation for Web Long-Tail Discovery

TailSpec-EASE is a lightweight linear recommender that incorporates a relation‑aware spectral knowledge‑graph prior into a local closed‑form reconstruction objective. By adapting the prior strength to item popularity, it provides stronger semantic guidance for long‑tail items. Across four public benchmarks, it achieves a favorable balance of overall accuracy, long‑tail performance, and training cost, improving NDCG@20 by up to 24% over a no‑KG baseline and training in just 37 seconds on CPU compared to thousands of seconds for GPU‑based KGAT and CPU LightGCN.
