FineSID introduces a new quantization framework for semantic identifier learning in generative recommendation systems. By replacing the traditional Top‑1 hard assignment with a soft, differentiable approach, it distributes gradient updates across all codewords, leading to balanced codebook optimization and reduced identifier collisions. Experiments on public benchmarks show that FineSID improves codebook utilization and recommendation accuracy without relying on complex initialization strategies.

arXiv:2607. 25209v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative recommendation commonly represents items using fixed-length semantic identifiers (SIDs) constructed through clustering and quantization.
Refine-POI introduces a reinforcement fine-tuned framework for next point-of-interest recommendation that tackles two key issues: topology-blind indexing of semantic IDs and the limitation of supervised fine-tuning to top‑1 predictions. It uses a hierarchical self‑organizing map to generate topology‑aware semantic IDs and a policy‑gradient approach to produce top‑k recommendation lists. Experiments on three real‑world datasets show that Refine‑POI outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines, combining LLM reasoning with accurate, explainable recommendations.
The paper proposes replacing a static multi‑level small semantic codebook with a dynamic single‑level large semantic codebook for generative recommendation. It introduces an exposure‑aware update mechanism and an offline evaluation framework, achieving significant improvements in recall, NDCG, decoding efficiency, and online consumption metrics on public datasets and production traffic.
