The paper introduces LARK, a two‑stage latent reasoning framework designed to mitigate cross‑modal dilution in multimodal recommendation systems. In the first stage, learnable latent tokens are interleaved with chain‑of‑thought reasoning and aligned with a frozen vision encoder to preserve visual details. The second stage projects these latent representations through a bridge MLP, employing item‑to‑item contrastive learning and aligning intermediate features with the first‑stage hidden states to anchor final embeddings to the model’s reasoning output. Experiments on three public benchmarks and an industrial dataset demonstrate that LARK achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance across multiple recommendation architectures, with ablation studies confirming the contribution of each component.

arXiv:2606. 15331v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative recommendation models that formulate the task as sequence generation overcome the objective fragmentation problem of traditional cascade architectures, yet existing approaches still suffer from flat semantic representations lacking hierarchical structure for multi-step reasoning and an externally constructed chain-of-thought (CoT) that requires expensive annotations and remains disconnected from the generation objective.
