Abstract

With the widespread application of session-based recommendation (SBR) , the authors addressed the critical challenges of utilizing semantic information, modeling cross-session user interests, and suppressing data noise to improve recommendation performance. They developed LGSBR, a novel framework that integrates large language models (LLMs) and graph neural networks (GNNs) to achieve semantic enhancement and personalized recommendation. Specifically, they generated supplementary text embeddings for items and cross-session user interest embeddings using LLMs and fine-tuned language models, fused these with ID embeddings through a soft attention mechanism to create semantically rich representations, incorporated user interest embeddings with alignment loss for personalized recommendations, and applied two-stage weight learning to filter noisy items and optimize session representations. Experiments demonstrated that LGSBR achieved P@20 of 21.38% and MRR@20 of 6.76% on the Beauty dataset, improving over the SR-GNN baseline by 23.3% and 50.56%, respectively, and P@20 of 25.86% and MRR@20 of 7.58% on the ML-1M dataset, with gains of 12.63% and 10.98%. The study confirms LGSBR’s generality and effectiveness across multiple GNN models.
