In this paper, we propose DUALRec to address the challenge of modern recommender systems, which struggle to model and predict users’ dynamic and context-rich preferences. DUALRec combines the temporal modeling capabilities of LSTM networks with the semantic reasoning capabilities of a fine-tuned large-scale language model (LLM) to capture users’ evolving preferences and recommend the next movie. The LSTM captures users’ evolving preferences from their viewing history, and the fine-tuned LLM leverages these temporal user insights to generate the next movie that the users may enjoy. Experimental results on the MovieLens-1M dataset show that the DUALRec model outperforms various baseline models.
