Category-Anchored Large Language Models for Next POI Recommendation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces ANCHOR, a category‑anchored framework that improves next point‑of‑interest (POI) recommendation by first estimating category‑level mobility intent and then grounding this intent into a candidate set using category anchors, historical visit memory, and user preferences. A history‑aware reranker selects the final POI by matching candidates with the user’s past mobility patterns and current context. Experiments on three real‑world check‑in datasets demonstrate that ANCHOR consistently outperforms traditional, structure‑enhanced, and LLM‑based baselines, while offering favorable trade‑offs among candidate coverage, ranking quality, and inference efficiency.

Preserving Item Semantics for Free: Rethinking Token Initialization in LLM-Based Generative Recommendation

arXiv:2608. 07816v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in generative recommendation (GR) leverage large language models (LLMs) as recommender backbones, enabling LLMs to directly generate recommendations conditioned on item-interaction histories.
