Outline

This paper presents a comprehensive technical survey of how to leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to address key challenges in modern recommender systems. To overcome the limitations of existing recommender systems, we explore LLM-based architectures, including prompt-based candidate generation, language-based ranking, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and conversational recommendation. These architectures enhance personalization, semantic alignment, and interpretability, and can operate effectively in cold-start and long-tail scenarios without extensive task-specific supervision.

Takeaways, Limitations

LLM improves personalization, semantic understanding, and interpretability in recommender systems.
LLM helps solve cold start and long tail problems.
LLM-based recommender systems must consider trade-offs between accuracy, scalability, and real-time performance.
This paper provides a framework for understanding the design space of LLM-based recommender systems.
Further research is needed on the specific implementation and performance of recommendation systems utilizing LLM.
An analysis of practical constraints such as the cost and computational complexity of LLM is required.
