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.

arXiv:2607. 12281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-style architectures are increasingly adopted for industrial recommendation systems, yet they inherit a design premise misaligned with the task: generative models rely on per-token autoregressive prediction, which justifies maintaining large intermediate tensors that scale with sequence length.

Transformer-style architectures are increasingly adopted for industrial recommendation systems, yet they inherit a design premise misaligned with the task: generative models rely on per-token autoregressive prediction, which justifies maintaining large intermediate tensors that scale with sequence length. In contrast, recommendation systems produce a single set of relevance scores for each pair without token-level supervision.
