BAHSD: Bridging the Long-tail Gap via Adaptive Distillation in Black-box Sequential Recommendation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

LoopFM: Learning frOm HistOrical RePresentations of Foundation Model for Recommendation

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.

RecRec: Recursive Refinement for Sequential Recommendation

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.
