Recently, Generative Recommenders (GRs) have emerged as a transformative recommendation paradigm by replacing traditional item IDs with semantic indices (SIDs). Owing to the exceptional generative capabilities of diffusion models, a few pioneering works explore developing GRs with diffusion architectures as the backbone.
arXiv:2606. 14260v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semantic IDs are crucial in generative recommendation, but with a fundamental limitation: temporal information is not well incorporated into semantic IDs.
arXiv:2608. 10983v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-modal recommenders fuse collaborative signals with item modalities such as text, images, and audio, but the usefulness of each drifts over time and at different rates.
Multi-modal recommenders fuse collaborative signals with item modalities such as text, images, and audio, but the usefulness of each drifts over time and at different rates. For example, chocolate purchases typically guided by textual ingredient cues can shift toward visual packaging and ambient audio around Valentine's Day.
arXiv:2608. 16274v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Positional encoding is a fundamental component of Transformer-based generative recommendation models, where user histories are modeled as autoregressive item sequences.
Positional encoding is a fundamental component of Transformer-based generative recommendation models, where user histories are modeled as autoregressive item sequences. Most positional encoding methods are inherited from natural language processing and mainly represent discrete item order.
arXiv:2606. 12245v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cold-start item recommendation remains a persistent challenge in real-world systems due to the absence of interaction histories.
arXiv:2608. 15780v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Stale recommendations are a pervasive challenge and a leading source of user complaints on large-scale content platforms.
arXiv:2511. 07280v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Personalized recommendation systems shape much of user choice online, yet their targeted nature makes separating out the value of recommendation and the underlying goods challenging.
arXiv:2608. 07816v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in generative recommendation (GR) leverage large language models (LLMs) as recommender backbones, enabling LLMs to directly generate recommendations conditioned on item-interaction histories.
arXiv:2608. 10474v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Popularity bias in recommendation systems arises when a majority user class generates disproportionate interaction data, causing the system to increasingly favour it while degrading recommendation quality for niche users.
arXiv:2607. 21101v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Semantic-ID-based generative recommendation represents items as sequences of shared semantic tokens, enabling token recombination beyond isolated item IDs.
