arXiv:2606. 31984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial recommendation systems serve billions of users through a multi-stage funnel -- retrieval, early-stage ranking, and re-ranking -- where the final re-ranking step disproportionately shapes user engagement and downstream performance, particularly for carousel and grid display formats.
arXiv:2606. 14142v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly adopted as backbones for Generative Recommendation (GR), promising access to pretrained world knowledge.
The paper introduces Evo-Rec, a three‑stage framework that improves generative recommendation by learning better reasoning traces for Semantic ID (SID) generation. It first aligns SIDs with textual and behavioral contexts, then selects candidate reasoning traces that improve ground‑truth item prediction, and finally refines the reasoning policy via reinforcement learning with catalog‑constrained generation and ranking‑aware feedback. Experiments on Amazon Review datasets show Evo‑Rec consistently outperforms existing discriminative, generative, and reasoning‑enhanced recommenders across all metrics.
arXiv:2607. 25182v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The ability to retrieve relevant tables for answering questions is a key task for structured information retrieval.
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).
CORE improves compositional reasoning in multimodal language models by distilling a cross‑attentive reranker’s fine‑grained judgments into the embedding model. It generates candidate lists across five compositional matching levels and trains with a Rank‑KL objective to replicate the reranker’s ranking. Experiments on COLA, SUGARCREPE++, and NEGBENCH show CORE‑RERANKER‑8B outperforms Jina‑Reranker by 10.7 points, while CORE‑EMBED‑8B achieves the best overall average among evaluated embeddings, with gains also transferring to the MCMR benchmark without harming COCO or Flickr30K retrieval.
