DeGRe is a dense‑supervised generative reranking framework designed to improve multi‑stage recommender systems by addressing label bias and credit assignment issues. It uses an offline Lookahead Evaluator with beam search to generate dense supervision signals, which are distilled into a lightweight Online Generator that can perform efficient greedy decoding at inference time. Experiments show that DeGRe outperforms baselines on public benchmarks and industrial datasets, and it has been successfully deployed on Taobao Flash Shopping to enhance online recommendations.

Sequential recommendation aims to predict users' next interaction with items by analyzing their historical behavior. However, the limited quality of item representations remains a critical bottleneck.
The paper introduces GR4AD‑X, an enhanced generative recommendation framework for large‑scale advertising that tackles three key limitations of its predecessor: unreliable deterministic SID assignment, limited scalability of backbone models, and weak credit assignment in sequence‑level value optimization. GR4AD‑X improves SID reliability via Multi‑Path assignment, expands model capacity across complementary dimensions for better efficiency, and aligns generation with commercial value through Unified Value‑Guided Generation and Discrimination (UniVGD), which optimizes prefix‑level rewards, prunes beams, and reranks discriminatively. Online A/B tests on Kuaishou’s advertising platform show a 3.07% revenue increase over the baseline while meeting strict latency and throughput constraints.
REGER is a unified framework that enhances generative recommendation by explicitly modeling inter-item relations through semantic pretraining, history encoding, and SID generation. It pretrains the model to generate semantic neighbors’ IDs, uses combined global and local attention to capture historical context, and introduces a hierarchical preference decomposition over the SID prefix tree. The approach also distills a discriminative teacher’s full conditional distributions to improve next-token predictions, yielding consistent performance gains on real-world datasets.
arXiv:2602. 12394v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Personalized prompting offers large opportunities for deploying large language models (LLMs) to diverse users, yet existing prompt optimization methods primarily focus on task-level optimization while largely overlooking user-specific preferences and latent constraints of individual users.
arXiv:2608. 14011v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative recommendation autoregressively generates the semantic IDs of the target item, unifying preference modeling and index retrieval within the shared token space.
