Ocean4Rec system uses LLMs offline for VOD reranking

Researchers have developed Ocean4Rec, a novel reranking layer designed to enhance video-on-demand (VOD) recommendation systems. This system leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) offline to generate "OCEAN" profiles (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism) for content items. At request time, Ocean4Rec uses these precomputed profiles, along with user profiles and recency data, to perform numerical reranking without needing to invoke an LLM, thereby improving throughput and latency. Offline evaluations on Samsung Smart TV VOD logs demonstrated significant improvements in metrics like NDCG@20 and Hit Rate@20 compared to existing methods. AI

    Ocean4Rec: Offline LLM-Derived OCEAN Profiles for Request-Time VOD Reranking

    arXiv:2605.27429v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial video-on-demand (VOD) recommenders need richer content understanding, but LLM-as-reranker designs repeat prompt construction, token generation, model invocation, output parsing, and fallback handling for each request. I…
