FineSID: Scalable and Efficient Semantic Identifier Learning for Generative Recommendation

FineSID introduces a new quantization framework for semantic identifier learning in generative recommendation systems. By replacing the traditional Top‑1 hard assignment with a soft, differentiable approach, it distributes gradient updates across all codewords, leading to balanced codebook optimization and reduced identifier collisions. Experiments on public benchmarks show that FineSID improves codebook utilization and recommendation accuracy without relying on complex initialization strategies.

FedCGR: Federated Cross-Domain Generative Recommendation

arXiv:2608. 10929v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Cross-domain recommendation (CDR) transfers preference knowledge across related domains, but federated deployment makes cross-domain alignment difficult because the behavioral anchors that align item spaces, such as overlapping users and shared interaction signals, are often sparse, unavailable, or privacy-sensitive across clients.

From a Static Multi-Level Small Semantic Codebook to a Dynamic Single-Level Large Semantic Codebook for Generative Recommendation

The paper proposes replacing a static multi‑level small semantic codebook with a dynamic single‑level large semantic codebook for generative recommendation. It introduces an exposure‑aware update mechanism and an offline evaluation framework, achieving significant improvements in recall, NDCG, decoding efficiency, and online consumption metrics on public datasets and production traffic.

The Best of the Two Worlds: Harmonizing Semantic and Hash IDs for Sequential Recommendation

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.
