MSR-Rec: Multi-Step Reasoning-Enhanced LLM for Sequential Recommendation

Tuo Wang, Meng Jian, Ge Shi, Lifang Wu, Yashen Wang

Sequential recommendation has become indispensable in modern digital services. Prevalent recommendation techniques formulate the recommendation task with a language instruction fed into large language models (LLMs) to generate recommendations. However, the implicit interaction scenario of recommendation task cannot provide explicit reasoning supervision to activate LLM
