The Best of the Two Worlds: Harmonizing Semantic and Hash IDs for Sequential Recommendation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2512. 10388v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Conventional Sequential Recommender Systems (SRS) typically assign unique hash IDs (HID) to construct item embeddings, which mainly capture collaborative signals from historical user-item interactions.

Dual-Interest Sequential Product Recommendation With Multi-Granular SSM

The paper introduces DSRec, a dual‑interest sequential recommendation model that separates item representations into long‑term and short‑term semantic contexts. Long‑term embeddings capture stable preferences through historical aggregation, while short‑term embeddings focus on local session intent modulated by inter‑click time intervals. Each branch is processed by a distinct State Space Model— a full‑sequence Mamba for long‑term modeling and a time‑modulated SSM for short‑term dynamics— and a residual cross‑fusion mechanism aligns the two granularities while preserving their independence. Experiments on public benchmarks show that DSRec outperforms state‑of‑the‑art methods.

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.
