Survey maps autonomous AI agents in recommender systems

This paper surveys the evolving field of autonomous information-seeking within recommender systems, driven by the integration of large language model-based agents. It introduces a taxonomy based on autonomy levels and three core paradigms: agent-assisted recommendation, agent-as-recommender, and agent-as-user-simulator. The survey also examines current evaluation methodologies, discusses their limitations, and outlines open challenges in areas such as lifelong user modeling, trustworthiness, and efficiency for developing more human-aligned recommendation agents.

    Autonomous Information Seeking: A Roadmap for Agentic Recommender Systems

    The rapid integration of large language model-based agents into recommender systems has driven a shift from static, ranking-based pipelines toward autonomous and interactive systems that can reason, plan, and act. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of this emerging lan…
