Recently, large language models (LLMs) have exhibited significant progress in language understanding and generation. By leveraging textual features, customized LLMs are also applied for recommendation and demonstrate improvements across diverse recommendation scenarios. Yet the majority of existing methods perform training-free recommendation that heavily relies on pretrained knowledge (e.g., movie recommendation). In addition, inference on LLMs is slow due to autoregressive generation, rendering existing methods less effective for real-time recommendation. As such, we propose a two-stage framework using large language models for ranking-based recommendation (LlamaRec). In particular, we use small-scale sequential recommenders to retrieve candidates based on the user interaction history. Then, both history and retrieved items are fed to the LLM in text via a carefully designed prompt template. Instead of generating next-item titles, we adopt a verbalizer-based approach that transforms output logits into probability distributions over the candidate items. Therefore, the proposed LlamaRec can efficiently rank items without generating long text. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we compare against state-of-the-art baseline methods on benchmark datasets. Our experimental results demonstrate the performance of LlamaRec, which consistently achieves superior performance in both recommendation performance and efficiency.
