FedCGR: Federated Cross-Domain Generative Recommendation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

Personalized and Multi-View Representation for Federated Cold-Start Recommendation

The paper introduces PMFRec, a federated cold-start recommendation framework that addresses personalization, compositionality, and communication inefficiencies. PMFRec generates user-specific item representations from attribute features, employs a global multi-view encoder with adaptive gating and orthogonality to capture complementary semantics, and fuses collaborative and attribute knowledge into a single exchanged representation. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that PMFRec outperforms strong baselines in cold-item recommendation while improving user-level fairness, warm-scenario adaptability, and robustness under Local Differential Privacy.

Reasoning over Semantic IDs Enhances Generative Recommendation

arXiv:2603. 23183v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent advances in generative recommendation have leveraged pretrained LLMs by formulating sequential recommendation as autoregressive generation over a unified token space comprising language tokens and itemic identifiers, where each item is represented by a compact sequence of discrete tokens, namely Semantic IDs (SIDs).

Preserving Item Semantics for Free: Rethinking Token Initialization in LLM-Based Generative Recommendation

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.
