Adaptive and Representative Multi-Interest Modeling for Recommendation with Large Language Model (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for multi-interest analysis of users rely on heuristic assumptions . however, the granularity of raw generation of LLMs is agnostic, leading to overly fine or coarse interest grouping. |
| Approach: | They propose an LLM-driven adaptive and representative multi-interest modeling framework that exploits the agnostic granularity of LLMs for multi-interest analysis. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms baselines on real-world datasets. |
