• Abstract: Group Recommendation (GR) aims to suggest items to a group of users, which has become a critical component of modern social platforms. Existing GR methods focus on aggregating individual user preferences with advanced neural networks to infer group preferences. Despite effectiveness, they essentially treat group preference learning as a simple preference aggregation process, failing to capture the complex dynamics of real-world group decision-making. To address these limitations, we propose AgentGR, a novel Semantic-aware Agentic Group Decision-Making Simulator for Group Recommendations, inspired by the semantic reasoning and human behavior simulation capabilities of LLM-driven agents. It aims to jointly capture collaborative-semantic user preferences for member-role-playing and simulate dynamic group interactions to reflect real-world group decision-making processes, thereby boosting recommendation performance. Specifically, to capture collaborative-semantic user preferences, we introduce a semantic meta-path guided chain-of-preference reasoning mechanism that integrates high-order collaborative filtering signals and textual semantics to improve user preference profiles. To model the complex dynamics of group decision-making, we first recognize group topic and leadership to explicitly model the influencing factors within the group decision processes. Building on these, we simulate group-level decision dynamics via two multi-agent simulation strategies for recommendations: a static workflow-based strategy for efficiency and a dynamic dialogue-based strategy for precision. Extensive experiments on two real-world datasets show that AgentGR significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines in both recommendation accuracy and group decision simulation, highlighting its potential for real-world GR applications.

  We study the problem of making item recommendations to ephemeral groups, which comprise users with limited or no historical activities together. Existing studies target persistent groups with substantial activity history, while ephemeral groups lack historical interactions. We propose data-driven regularization strategies to exploit both the preference covariance amongst users who are in the same group, as well as the contextual relevance of users' individual preferences to each group.
