Due to the lack of explicit reasoning modeling, existing LLM-powered recommendations fail to leverage LLMs' reasoning capabilities effectively. In this paper, we propose a pipeline called CoT-Rec, which integrates two key Chain-of-Thought (CoT) processes -- user preference analysis and item perception analysis -- into LLM-powered recommendations, thereby enhancing the utilization of LLMs' reasoning abilities. CoT-Rec consists of two stages: (1) personalized information extraction, where user preferences and item perception are extracted, and (2) personalized information utilization, where this information is incorporated into the LLM-powered recommendation process. Experimental results demonstrate that CoT-Rec shows potential for improving LLM-powered recommendations. The implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/jhliu0807/CoT-Rec.

  1. Revisiting Prompt Engineering: A Comprehensive Evaluation for LLM-based Personalized Recommendation

    cs.IR 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For cost-efficient LLMs, rephrasing, step-back, and structured reasoning prompts raise ranking accuracy; for high-performance LLMs, a simple baseline prompt matches complex prompts at a fraction of the cost.

  2. Bidirectional Knowledge Distillation for Enhancing Sequential Recommendation with Large Language Models

    cs.IR 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An alternating distillation loop between a conventional recommender and an LLM recommender improves top-K accuracy on four datasets without adding inference-time parameters.
