## TL;DR
Recommender Systems: Graph Neural Collaborative Filtering and LLM-Based Recommendation: Recommender systems rank or suggest items such as products, videos, posts, songs, or articles based on user, item, and context signals.

## Core Explanation
Core approaches include collaborative filtering, matrix factorization, neural recommenders, sequence models, and large-scale ranking systems. Quality must consider relevance, diversity, feedback loops, fairness, privacy, and evaluation bias.
