Abstract:With the rapid development of large language models (LLMs) and the growing demand for personalized content, recommendation systems have become critical in enhancing user experience and driving engagement. Collaborative filtering algorithms, being core to many recommendation systems, have garnered significant attention for their efficiency and interpretability. However, traditional collaborative filtering approaches face numerous challenges when integrated into large-scale LLM-based systems, including high computational costs, severe data sparsity, cold start problems, and lack of scalability. This paper investigates the optimization and scalability of collaborative filtering algorithms in large language models, addressing these limitations through advanced optimization strategies. Firstly, we analyze the fundamental principles of collaborative filtering algorithms and their limitations when applied in LLM-based contexts. Next, several optimization techniques such as matrix factorization, approximate nearest neighbor search, and parallel computing are proposed to enhance computational efficiency and model accuracy. Additionally, strategies such as distributed architecture and model compression are explored to facilitate dynamic updates and scalability in data-intensive environments.
Abstract:With the advent of the information explosion era, the importance of recommendation systems in various applications is increasingly significant. Traditional collaborative filtering algorithms are widely used due to their effectiveness in capturing user behavior patterns, but they encounter limitations when dealing with cold start problems and data sparsity. Large Language Models (LLMs), with their strong natural language understanding and generation capabilities, provide a new breakthrough for recommendation systems. This study proposes an enhanced recommendation method that combines collaborative filtering and LLMs, aiming to leverage collaborative filtering's advantage in modeling user preferences while enhancing the understanding of textual information about users and items through LLMs to improve recommendation accuracy and diversity. This paper first introduces the fundamental theories of collaborative filtering and LLMs, then designs a recommendation system architecture that integrates both, and validates the system's effectiveness through experiments. The results show that the hybrid model based on collaborative filtering and LLMs significantly improves precision, recall, and user satisfaction, demonstrating its potential in complex recommendation scenarios.
