From Clicks to Intent: Cross-Platform Session Embeddings with LLM-Distilled Taxonomy for Financial Services Recommendations

arXiv:2606. 26277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential user behavior modeling is widely adopted in industrial recommender systems; however, significant gaps remain in financial services, where pre-login web interactions and authenticated in-app experiences differ drastically.

MISApp: Multi-Hop Intent-Aware Session Graph Learning for Next App Prediction

MISApp is a profile‑free framework that predicts the next mobile app a user will launch by learning multi‑hop session graphs. It captures transition dependencies across different structural ranges, incorporates temporal context and spatial categorization, and models intent evolution from recent interactions. Experiments on two real‑world datasets show MISApp outperforms baselines in both standard and cold‑start settings while remaining efficient, and analyses reveal that multi‑hop relations provide higher‑order predictive signals and interpretable attention weights.

Beyond Retrieval: Learning Compact User Representations for Scalable LLM Personalization

The paper introduces TAP-PER, a prefix‑based framework that learns compact user representations for large language model personalization. By encoding user preferences into lightweight prefix embeddings and incorporating temporal signals, TAP‑PER avoids the need for heavy per‑user adapters or prompt‑serialized histories. Experiments on six LaMP tasks show that TAP‑PER outperforms both prompt‑based and model‑based baselines while using far fewer per‑user parameters, enabling scalable personalization at large user scales.

LUNAR: Benchmarking Personalized Large Language Models on UNiversal User BehAvioR Logs

arXiv:2608. 05246v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing personalized LLM benchmarks primarily rely on textual personas or isolated behavioral signals, providing limited evaluation of cross-domain behavioral personalization, where responses must be grounded in heterogeneous daily-life activities.
