arXiv:2606. 03091v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential recommendation systems are widely adopted but often deployed as black-box APIs, which has driven recent interest in model extraction to replicate their capabilities locally.
arXiv:2608. 16073v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential recommenders often struggle with sparse and noisy histories, limiting generalization to unseen interactions.
arXiv:2604. 05379v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The sequential recommendation (SR) task aims to predict the next item based on users' historical interaction sequences.
arXiv:2605. 29280v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation (KD) transfers a single scalar prediction from a large foundation model (FM) to compact vertical models (VMs), suffering from diminishing transfer ratio -- the fraction of FM improvement captured by the VM -- as a single scalar cannot convey the rich intermediate knowledge that larger FMs learn.
arXiv:2506. 16114v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative recommendations (GR), which usually include item tokenizers and generative Large Language Models (LLMs), have demonstrated remarkable success across a wide range of scenarios.
arXiv:2607. 24845v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have been applied to sequential recommendation by formulating it as a natural language task.
arXiv:2607. 10541v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential recommender systems typically infer user preferences through single-pass encoding of interaction histories without iterative refinement, relying on increasingly deep architectures to capture complex patterns.
arXiv:2607. 22665v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine unlearning is becoming increasingly critical in the context of data privacy regulations, particularly for recommendation systems that are directly trained on user interaction data.
arXiv:2608. 10240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-modal sequential recommenders assume every item carries every modality, but real product catalogs often miss images or text, and a model trained on complete data loses much of its recommendation accuracy when a modality is unavailable at serving time.
arXiv:2512. 10388v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Conventional Sequential Recommender Systems (SRS) typically assign unique hash IDs (HID) to construct item embeddings, which mainly capture collaborative signals from historical user-item interactions.
arXiv:2605. 20721v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Label noise is a central challenge in learning from implicit feedback for recommendation.
arXiv:2605. 03677v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) has recently emerged as an effective post-training paradigm for consolidating the capabilities of specialized expert models into a single student model.
arXiv:2508. 02929v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling laws have been established for recommender systems, yet efficiently deploying foundation model (FM) across multiple recommendation surfaces remains a major unsolved challenge.
