GPT3RecBot: a universal chatbot recommender of movies, books and music in Telegram

P. 35–43.
Lashinin O., Bykov K., Ananyeva M., Kolesnikov S.

Recent advances in large language models have extended their potential use cases to different domains. Models such as ChatGPT have an extensive internal knowledge base that enables them to provide answers to various domain-specific queries. In this paper, we explore the potential use of OpenAI’s GPT3.5 model as a conversational recommender system. We designed a user-friendly chatbot capable of recommending items in three domains: books, movies, and music. Our study involved collecting explicit feedback from 517 users, and we report the results obtained. The average usefulness of our bot is 4.15 / 5. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of GPT3.5 as a personalised recommendation system. We hope that our work will inspire further research in this area. Our chatbot is available on the popular messaging platform Telegram under the name @GPT3Recbot, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

Bradley-Terry Rankings for Recommender Systems Across Dataset Taxonomies
Grishina E., Stepan Kuznetsov, Tsyganov A. et al., , in: KDD '26: Proceedings of the 32th ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining.: Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2026. P. 1310–1321.
The ranking of recommendation algorithms is a challenging problem since model performance is sensitive to dataset characteristics such as sparsity, sequential structure, and scale. This drives a demand for a proper methodology for fair comparison between algorithms. Naive aggregation of performance metrics (e.g., averaging NDCG over benchmarks) can yield misleading rankings, undermining practical selection. To ...
