• Abstract: Tour itinerary recommendation involves planning a sequence of relevant Point-of-Interest (POIs), which combines challenges from the fields of both Operations Research (OR) and Recommendation Systems (RS). As an OR problem, there is the need to maximize a certain utility (e.g., popularity of POIs in the tour) while adhering to some constraints (e.g., maximum time for the tour). As a RS problem, it is heavily related to problem or filtering or ranking a subset of POIs that are relevant to a user and recommending it as part of an itinerary. In this paper, we explore the use of language models for the task of tour itinerary recommendation and planning. This task has the unique requirement of recommending personalized POIs relevant to users and planning these POIs as an itinerary that satisfies various constraints. We discuss some approaches in this area, such as using word embedding techniques like Word2Vec and GloVe for learning POI embeddings and transformer-based techniques like BERT for generating itineraries.

  This paper develops a learning method for a special class of traveling salesman problems (TSP) It finds the shortest tour along a sequence of one-to-one pickup-and-delivery nodes. In PDTSP, precedence constraints need to be satisfied that each pickup node must be visited before its corresponding delivery node.

  Many tour recommendation tools only take into account a limited number of factors, such as popular Points of Interest (POIs) and routing constraints. We propose an iterative algorithm in this paper, namely: BTREC (BERT-based Trajectory Recommendation), that extends from the POIBERT embedding algorithm to recommend personalized itineraries on POIs. Our recommendation system can create a travel itinerary that maximizes POIs visited, while also taking into account user preferences for categories of POIs and time availability.

• Large Language Model Augmented Narrative Driven Recommendations [51.77271767160573]
  Narrative-driven recommendation (NDR) presents an information access problem where users solicit recommendations with verbose descriptions of their preferences and context. NDR lacks abundant training data for models, and current platforms commonly do not support these requests. We use large language models (LLMs) for data augmentation to train NDR models.

  This work aims to investigate the capacity of large language models (LLMs) to act as the ranking model for recommender systems. We show that LLMs have promising zero-shot ranking abilities but struggle to perceive the order of historical interactions. We demonstrate that these issues can be alleviated using specially designed prompting and bootstrapping strategies.

  This paper presents a novel paradigm for the Zero-Shot Item-based Recommendation (ZSIR) task. It pre-trains a model on product knowledge graph (PKG) to refine the item features from PLMs. We identify three challenges for pre-training PKG, which are multi-type relations in PKG, semantic divergence between item generic information and relations and domain discrepancy from PKG to downstream ZSIR task.

  We propose a novel KeyPoint-Guided model by ReLation preservation (KPG-RL) that searches for the optimal matching. The proposed KPG-RL model can be solved by Sinkhorn's algorithm and is applicable even when distributions are supported in different spaces. Based on the learned transport plan from dual KPG-RL, we propose a novel manifold barycentric projection to transport source data to the target domain.
