TailSpec-EASE: Knowledge-Graph-Regularized Linear Recommendation for Web Long-Tail Discovery

TailSpec-EASE is a lightweight linear recommender that incorporates a relation‑aware spectral knowledge‑graph prior into a local closed‑form reconstruction objective. By adapting the prior strength to item popularity, it provides stronger semantic guidance for long‑tail items. Across four public benchmarks, it achieves a favorable balance of overall accuracy, long‑tail performance, and training cost, improving NDCG@20 by up to 24% over a no‑KG baseline and training in just 37 seconds on CPU compared to thousands of seconds for GPU‑based KGAT and CPU LightGCN.

RankGraph-2: Lifecycle Co-Design for Billion-Node Graph Learning in Recommendation

arXiv:2606. 18379v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph-based retrieval at billion-node scale requires jointly solving three tightly coupled problems -- graph construction, representation learning, and real-time serving -- yet existing work addresses each in isolation.

HyperFuse: Fast Self-Supervised Node Embeddings for Attributed Hypergraphs

HyperFuse is a new, label‑free pipeline for fast self‑supervised node embeddings on attributed hypergraphs. It computes structural node coordinates via a spectral relaxation of hypergraph modularity, builds multi‑scale feature summaries with utility‑weighted hyperedges, and trains a lightweight encoder for only 100 epochs. In experiments on nine public hypergraphs, HyperFuse achieved 13–179× speed‑ups over baselines and matched or exceeded their accuracy on most downstream tasks.

POI Recommendation with LLM-Augmented Multi-Graph Learning and Contrastive Alignment

arXiv:2608. 16407v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Point-of-interest (POI) recommendation models based on graph neural networks achieve strong performance by propagating collaborative signals over user-item interactions, yet they struggle with the cold-start problem, where items with few or no interactions are not represented.
