Making Collaborative Signals Count: Graph-Aware Large Language Models for Sequential Recommendation

Fenglin Yan, Bohao Wang, Jian Zhang +5

Large language models (LLMs) have been widely adopted as backbones for recommender systems. However, their language-centric pretraining makes it difficult to capture collaborative…
