Driven by the attention economy, short-video Recommender Systems (RSs) are primarily optimized to maximize user engagement by promoting videos that capture attention within seconds. These systems inherently favor shallow-content videos that are effective at attracting immediate attention.
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.

arXiv:2607. 00446v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As video corpora continue to expand in both scale and task complexity, there is increasing demand for approaches that retrieve relevant videos from large-scale corpora (inter-video reasoning) and subsequently perform fine-grained, query-conditioned tasks (intra-video reasoning) within the retrieved content, such as temporal grounding.

arXiv:2607. 24025v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer architectures have achieved remarkable success across diverse domains; however, directly applying their standard self-attention mechanism to recommendation often yields suboptimal performance, sometimes even trailing behind well-designed simple recommendation models.
