Large language models (LLMs) have not only revolutionized the field of natural language processing (NLP) but also have the potential to bring a paradigm shift in many other fields due to their remarkable abilities of language understanding, as well as impressive generalization capabilities and reasoning skills. As a result, recent studies have actively attempted to harness the power of LLMs to improve recommender systems, and it is imperative to thoroughly review the recent advances and challenges of LLM-based recommender systems. Unlike existing work, this survey does not merely analyze the classifications of LLM-based recommendation systems according to the technical framework of LLMs. Instead, it investigates how LLMs can better serve recommendation tasks from the perspective of the recommender system community, thus enhancing the integration of large language models into the research of recommender system and its practical application. In addition, the long-standing gap between academic research and industrial applications related to recommender systems has not been well discussed, especially in the era of large language models. In this review, we introduce a novel taxonomy that originates from the intrinsic essence of recommendation, delving into the application of large language model-based recommendation systems and their industrial implementation. Specifically, we propose a three-tier structure that more accurately reflects the developmental progression of recommendation systems from research to practical implementation, including representing and understanding, scheming and utilizing, and industrial deployment. Furthermore, we discuss critical challenges and opportunities in this emerging field.

  5. Rethinking Semantic Collaborative Integration: Why Alignment Is Not Enough

    cs.IR 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Semantic and collaborative representations show low item-level overlap on sparse data, so global alignment suppresses complementary signals and a shared-plus-private fusion design is needed instead.

    SmartPatchLinker is an open-source Chrome extension that detects and ranks semantically linked patches directly in the Gerrit code review workflow.

  7. Why Thinking Hurts: Diagnosing and Rectifying Linguistic Inertia in Large Language Models for Recommendation

    cs.IR 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    Chain-of-thought reasoning degrades semantic-ID recommendation accuracy through 'linguistic inertia,' and a training-free compression-plus-contrastive decoding fix restores and often improves accuracy.

  8. Benchmark Leakage Trap: Can We Trust LLM-based Recommendation?

    cs.LG 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    Fine-tuning an LLM recommender on a slice of the benchmark inflates AUC/UAUC for in-domain leakage and degrades it for out-of-domain leakage, showing benchmark contamination can distort LLM-based recommendation evaluation.
