The impact of using Large Language Models on the performance of Recommender Systems
Author: Michael Schmiedmayer Supervisor: Julia Neidhardt, Co-Supervisor: Ahmadou Wagne Abstract This thesis investigates the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into Conversational Recommender Systems (CRSs), evaluating the impact of model scale and hyperparameter configurations on retrieval performance. Moving beyond purely synthetic benchmarks, this research introduces a novel, end-to-end evaluation framework grounded in real-world user behaviour.…
