Abstract

Course recommendation systems play an essential role in academic institutions for students to find courses that align with their interests and graduation requirements. However, due to their 'black-box' nature, recommendation systems often lack transparency and interpretability, leading to challenges in trust and usability. Our proposed framework leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate clear, human-readable explanations based on course content by drawing connections between the existing courses taken by the student and recommended courses.
