HARP method enhances LLM-based recommendations with dual-profile communication

Researchers have developed HARP, a novel training-free method for LLM-based recommendation systems. HARP addresses limitations in current models by enabling symmetric communication between users and items, allowing items to generate comparable self-descriptions and user profiles to evolve dynamically. This approach integrates user and item profiles at the retrieval stage rather than solely within a bandwidth-limited reranker prompt. Experiments on four public benchmarks demonstrated significant improvements in recommendation accuracy, with HARP outperforming existing baselines by up to 24.0% and showing statistically significant gains across all datasets.

    HARP: Training-Free Dual-Profile Agentic Communication for LLM-Based Recommendation

    In LLM-based recommendation, memory acts as a user-level agent in a memory-augmented backbone. Yet users and items remain asymmetric: only the user is given a structured profile; it enters a bandwidth-limited reranker prompt; and it is frozen after warmup. We recast LLM-based rec…
