arXiv:2402. 14035v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Knowledge distillation from foundation models to compact domain models is challenging due to substantial gaps in capacity, architecture, and modality.
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.
arXiv:2508. 02929v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Scaling laws have been established for recommender systems, yet efficiently deploying foundation model (FM) across multiple recommendation surfaces remains a major unsolved challenge.
arXiv:2607. 24845v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have been applied to sequential recommendation by formulating it as a natural language task.
arXiv:2602. 07298v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) represent a promising frontier for recommender systems, yet their development has been impeded by the absence of predictable scaling laws, which are crucial for guiding research and optimizing resource allocation.
The paper investigates how knowledge distillation (KD) applied at intermediate layers of a neural network can affect overfitting and model performance. While traditional KD focuses on the final output, this study explores block‑wise KD across eleven datasets, finding that on standard datasets the last block suffices, but on fine‑grained, data‑scarce settings intermediate supervision significantly improves accuracy. The authors also analyze optimal supervision granularity using attention maps, Centered Kernel Alignment, and Grad‑CAM, and examine teacher‑student fine‑tuning strategies.
