• Abstract summary: We propose GOT4Rec, a sequential recommendation method that utilizes the graph of thoughts (GoT) prompting strategy. We identify and utilize three key types of information within user history sequences: short-term interests, long-term interests and collaborative information from other users. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of GOT4Rec, indicating that it outperforms existing state-of-the-art baselines.

• Abstract: With the advancement of large language models (LLMs), researchers have explored various methods to optimally leverage their comprehension and generation capabilities in sequential recommendation scenarios. However, several challenges persist in this endeavor. Firstly, most existing approaches rely on the input-output prompting paradigm, which can result in irrelevant or inaccurate responses. Secondly, while there have been attempts to enhance LLMs using prompting strategies such as chain-of-thought (CoT), these efforts have not fully harnessed the reasoning abilities of LLMs or effectively captured the multifaceted information contained within user sequences. To address these limitations, we propose GOT4Rec, a sequential recommendation method that utilizes the graph of thoughts (GoT) prompting strategy. Specifically, we identify and utilize three key types of information within user history sequences: short-term interests, long-term interests and collaborative information from other users. Our approach enables LLMs to independently reason and generate recommendations based on these distinct types of information, subsequently aggregating the results within the GoT framework to derive the final recommended items. This method allows LLMs, with enhanced reasoning capabilities, to more effectively consider the diverse information within user sequences, resulting in more accurate recommendations and more comprehensive explanations. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of GOT4Rec, indicating that it outperforms existing state-of-the-art baselines.
