大语言模型的兴起为推荐系统带来了新的机遇,但现有研究主要集中在大语言模型推荐系统的技术框架和工程实现上,缺乏对这一交叉领域研究的系统性梳理,尤其是对在推荐系统中结合大语言模型所要解决的研究问题尚不清晰。为此,总结了大语言模型在推荐系统中的主流应用模式,归纳推荐系统生命周期各阶段中的关键问题。同时,探究了大语言模型如何为这些问题提供创新性的解决方案、识别尚未解决的问题,并展望未来的研究方向。
The rise of large language model (LLM) has brought new opportunities to recommender systems. However
existing research mainly focuses on the technical frameworks and engineering implementations of LLM-based recommender systems
lacking a systematic review of this interdisciplinary field. In particular
the key research questions that need to be addressed when integrating LLM into recommender systems remain unclear. To this end
the study summarizes the mainstream application patterns of LLM in recommender systems and categorizes the key research issues across various stages of the recommender system lifecycle. Simultaneously
the study investigates how LLM provide innovative solutions to these issues
identifies unresolved problems
and outlines future research directions.
