MARS: Multi-resolution Adaptive Routing for Sequential Recommendation

The paper introduces MARS, a multi‑resolution adaptive routing system for sequential recommendation that stores a user’s entire history in recurrent state tracks with different half‑lives. By sparsely routing queries to the appropriate temporal resolution, MARS preserves short‑term intent, medium‑term interests, and long‑term preferences, mitigating the temporal aliasing problem seen in monolithic cached memories. Experiments on three public datasets show that MARS outperforms strong baselines, with larger gains for longer histories and after user behavioral shifts, while maintaining comparable serving latency.

SequenceO1: End-to-End Ultra-Long (100K) Sequence Modeling in Recommendation with Low-Rank Caching

SequenceO1 is an end‑to‑end framework that enables ultra‑long (up to 100K interactions) sequence modeling for recommendation systems. It compresses raw user histories into a fixed‑size sketch using Sketch Attention and then models short‑term and long‑term interests with Target‑to‑History Cross Attention. The system incorporates low‑rank caching, batching, pipeline lift, and a FlashSA kernel to keep training and inference efficient, achieving consistent offline and online performance gains when deployed at full traffic on Douyin.

Beyond Item IDs: Scaling Short-Form-Video Recommendation via Semantic-Native Long Sequence Modeling

arXiv:2606. 07546v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Capturing user interests across extensive watch histories is critical for short-form video recommendation, yet scaling sequence length is limited by two bottlenecks: the semantic sparsity of atomic Video IDs and the quadratic computational complexity of Transformers.

BehaveRec: When Does Long-Term Behavioral History Help Sequential Recommendation? A Study with Session, History, and Community Signals

BehaveRec is a three-signal framework that combines a causal session transformer, a bidirectional User History Encoder over a 90‑day window, and a GraphSAGE module built from behavioral embedding similarity. On an industrial dataset of 137M sequences, it improves R@5 by +3.2% over SASRec, and its advantage grows with user history length, becoming significant for users with 101+ interactions. The study also establishes a practical deployment rule of roughly 20 interactions per user for when long‑term history and behavioral‑graph signals are worthwhile.

Continual Graph Memory for Adaptive Recommendation under Intent Drift

The paper introduces CGM-Rec, a continual graph memory framework designed for adaptive recommendation in the presence of intent drift. CGM-Rec treats the knowledge graph as writable memory, comprising a conservative Semantic Graph Memory for stable relational knowledge and a fast-reactive Episodic Lesson Memory for recent outcomes and corrective hints. Experiments show that, with frozen model parameters and one-pass reranking, CGM-Rec outperforms neural and LLM-based baselines across multiple recommendation settings, achieving significant gains such as a 29.58% improvement in HR@1 over the strongest LLM baseline on Bundle.

PRISM: Personalized Item Representations in User History

PRISM introduces personalized item representations in user history, allowing each item’s embedding to reflect its relationship to a specific user rather than using a shared embedding across all users. The method leverages upstream ranking computations and an autoencoder to compress user and item tower states into a single embedding per scored pair for downstream replay. Offline tests on a billion‑scale recommendation surface show a modest but measurable improvement in downstream normalized entropy, with gains scaling with sequence length according to a power‑law relationship.
