TailSpec-EASE is a lightweight linear recommender that incorporates a relation‑aware spectral knowledge‑graph prior into a local closed‑form reconstruction objective. By adapting the prior strength to item popularity, it provides stronger semantic guidance for long‑tail items. Across four public benchmarks, it achieves a favorable balance of overall accuracy, long‑tail performance, and training cost, improving NDCG@20 by up to 24% over a no‑KG baseline and training in just 37 seconds on CPU compared to thousands of seconds for GPU‑based KGAT and CPU LightGCN.

The paper introduces a GPU‑optimized retrieval framework for LinkedIn’s semantic search, partitioning embeddings into eight category‑supervised segments and applying a min/median aggregation rule aligned with the existing relevance policy. A lightweight Stage‑1 scorer generates high‑recall candidates, while a two‑stage GPU architecture—FP8 coarse ranking followed by FP16 re‑ranking—boosts throughput and recall, achieving 99.6‑99.8% of full‑FP16 recall at over 500 QPS per shard. In A/B testing, the system raises exploratory‑query Precision@10 from 63.7% to 79.0% and navigational Precision@1 from 65.5% to 74.7%, with human evaluation confirming the improvement.

arXiv:2606. 18379v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph-based retrieval at billion-node scale requires jointly solving three tightly coupled problems -- graph construction, representation learning, and real-time serving -- yet existing work addresses each in isolation.
