The paper introduces DSRec, a dual‑interest sequential recommendation model that separates item representations into long‑term and short‑term semantic contexts. Long‑term embeddings capture stable preferences through historical aggregation, while short‑term embeddings focus on local session intent modulated by inter‑click time intervals. Each branch is processed by a distinct State Space Model— a full‑sequence Mamba for long‑term modeling and a time‑modulated SSM for short‑term dynamics— and a residual cross‑fusion mechanism aligns the two granularities while preserving their independence. Experiments on public benchmarks show that DSRec outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods.

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.

arXiv:2607. 29213v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern recommender systems in food delivery increasingly leverage multimodal signals, including images, text, and user interaction histories, to enhance user experience, yet effective fusion of these heterogeneous modalities remains challenging, hindering both the joint modeling of multimodal signals and adaptation to evolving user intent.

arXiv:2607. 23762v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conventional recommenders capture users' preferences by optimizing observed user-item relations, whereas continuous generative recommendation additionally learns the trajectory of synthesizing a target item.

FairDiff is a new fairness‑aware diffusion framework designed to mitigate the self‑reinforcing Matthew Effect in Diffusion Recommender Models (DRMs). It introduces Popularity Condition Guidance (PCG) to reweight inference‑time gradients and penalize high‑popularity items, and a Semantic Calibration (SC) module that aligns forward and reverse distributions via optimal transport. Experiments show FairDiff achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance while reducing popularity bias in DRMs.
