SpecFormer: Mitigating Embedding and Attention Collapse via Spectral-Aware Transformer for Recommendation

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.
