arXiv:2608. 03432v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Refurbishment-based noisy-label learning mixes an observed label with a model-derived pseudo target, typically using one sample-wise cleanliness score to control both branches.
arXiv:2606. 19658v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Implicit feedback is widely used in recommender systems due to its accessibility and generality, yet it usually presents noisy samples (e.
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:2609.39829v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern machine learning depends heavily on massive datasets, but obtaining high-quality annotations at scale is often expensive. As a result, learning...
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:2608.21243v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sequential recommendation predicts the next item from a user's interaction history, but not every interaction is equally informative. Real logs combi...
arXiv:2606. 14965v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic instance-dependent label noise (IDN) benchmarks are widely used to evaluate noisy-label learning methods, yet existing approaches typically generate noise through imperfect annotators or classifier raters, leaving the source of ambiguity implicit.
RPCBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate large language models’ ability to critique recommendation requests by detecting, diagnosing, and handling flawed premises. It includes evidence‑grounded test instances across five recommendation domains and ten types of premise failures, and introduces a fine‑grained evaluation framework covering detection, error localization, handling strategy, and evidence faithfulness. Experiments with 11 LLMs reveal that proactive detection is the main bottleneck, with models struggling most on underspecified‑premise errors and showing that optimal critique quality occurs at intermediate reasoning lengths.
arXiv:2607. 13418v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recommender systems operate as Black-Boxes, leaving users and regulators unable to steer their outputs toward specific intentions or audit their behavior.
CRAMER is a framework that enables sequential recommendation models to adapt instantly to user requests by treating natural‑language requests as control signals and applying request‑aware masking to frozen backbone parameters. This approach avoids costly retraining or large language model inference, achieving minimal overhead. Experiments on large‑scale benchmarks demonstrate that CRAMER outperforms four state‑of‑the‑art request‑aware baselines while offering enhanced controllability and cross‑domain adaptability.
The study reproduces a prior work on recommender systems that use generated natural‑language user profiles to enhance transparency and user control. It confirms that the User Profile Recommendation (UPR) model performs competitively and that altering these profiles uniformly shifts predicted ratings without changing ranking order. Additional experiments include context ablation, multi‑seed stability, and mechanistic interpretability analysis with the nnsight framework.
