FineSID introduces a new quantization framework for semantic identifier learning in generative recommendation systems. By replacing the traditional Top‑1 hard assignment with a soft, differentiable approach, it distributes gradient updates across all codewords, leading to balanced codebook optimization and reduced identifier collisions. Experiments on public benchmarks show that FineSID improves codebook utilization and recommendation accuracy without relying on complex initialization strategies.
