Exploring the Design Space of Permutation Diffusion LLMs

Zhe Xu, Mingfu Liang, Kavosh Asadi +16

Permutation generation with language models requires both text-conditioned ranking and a global one-to-one assignment between candidates and output positions. We study this problem…

The Case Against Generation for Retrieval: Discriminative Language Models as Effective Retrievers

Zhe Xu, Prachi Agrawal, Kavosh Asadi +17

Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful assets for recommender systems. However, deploying them as generative recommenders or zero-shot rankers at web-scale remains b…

Tokenizing Numerical and Embedding Features for LLM RecSys

Zhe Xu, Ankit Peshin, Chiyu Zhang +7

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as backbone architectures for recommender systems because of their strong sequence modeling and representation learning capabilit…

Self-Guided Test-Time Training for Long-Context LLMs

Xinyu Zhu, Zhe Xu, Xiaohan Wei +10

Long-context processing has become increasingly important for large language models (LLMs), but simply extending the context window does not guarantee effective utilization of long…

GR2 Technical Report

Yufei Li, Zaiwei Zhang, Mingfu Liang +67

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 dispropo…

Efficient Retrieval Scaling with Hierarchical Indexing for Large Scale Recommendation

Dongqi Fu, Kaushik Rangadurai, Haiyu Lu +13

The increase in data volume, computational resources, and model parameters during training has led to the development of numerous large-scale industrial retrieval models for recomm…

GR2: Generative Reasoning Re-ranker

Mingfu Liang, Yufei Li, Jay Xu +20

Recent studies increasingly explore Large Language Models (LLMs) as a new paradigm for recommendation systems due to their scalability and world knowledge. However, existing work h…
