用思维图提升大模型推荐精度,更懂用户短期长期兴趣。
GOT4Rec: Graph of Thoughts for Sequential Recommendation
- 构建用户行为的思维图,融合短期、长期与协同偏好
- 在真实数据集上平均提升37.11%推荐准确率
- 适合需要可解释推荐的场景,如电商与内容平台
大型语言模型(LLM)凭借其广泛的世界知识和推理能力,已成为序列推荐的有力工具。然而,现有方法多依赖简单的输入输出提示,难以将通用知识与推荐任务需求有效结合。尽管引入了思维链(CoT)等推理策略,但因用户偏好信息利用不足且推理深度有限,仍易产生不准确推荐。为此,我们提出GOT4Rec,一种基于思维图(GoT)推理策略的新型序列推荐方法。该方法聚焦用户历史中的三类关键信息:短期兴趣、长期兴趣以及来自其他用户的协同信息,使LLM能独立推理并生成推荐,再聚合结果得出最终推荐项。该方法增强了LLM对用户序列信息的利用能力,显著提升了推荐准确率,并提供更全面的解释。在多个真实世界数据集上的实验表明,GOT4Rec平均优于现有最佳基线37.11%。代码已公开于https://anonymous.4open.science/r/GOT4Rec。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
With their vast open-world knowledge and reasoning abilities, large language models (LLMs) have become a promising tool for sequential recommendation. Researchers have explored various methods to harness these capabilities, but most existing approaches rely on simple input-output prompting, failing to effectively bridge the gap between LLMs' general knowledge and the specific needs of recommendation tasks. While reasoning strategies like chain-of-thought (CoT) have been introduced to enhance performance, they often produce inaccurate recommendations due to underutilized user preference information and insufficient reasoning depth. To address these challenges, we propose GOT4Rec, a novel sequential recommendation method leveraging the graph of thoughts (GoT) reasoning strategy. Our method focuses on three key types of information in user histories: short-term interests, long-term interests and collaborative information from other users. It enables LLMs to reason independently and generate recommendations, subsequently aggregating results to derive final items. This method allows LLMs, with enhanced reasoning capabilities, to better utilize the user sequence information, producing more accurate recommendations and comprehensive explanations. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of GOT4Rec, outperforming existing state-of-the-art baselines with an average improvement of 37.11%.
