Do We Really Need Multimodal Emotion Language Models Larger Than 1B Parameters?
Kaiwen Zheng, Junchen Fu, Wenhao Deng +3
The paper introduces Light-MER, a sub‑billion‑parameter multimodal emotion recognition model that uses knowledge distillation, an optimal transport loss, and a multi‑reward optimiz…
Stream-aware Side Adaptation for Large Pre-trained Multimodal Embedding Models in Sequential Recommendation
Junchen Fu, Kaiwen Zheng, Ioannis Arapakis +4
Recently, large pretrained multimodal embedding models such as Qwen3-VL Embedding have shown strong promise for sequential recommendation, as they provide reusable semantic item re…
DRIVE: Distributional and Retrieval-Augmented Bidding with Value Evaluation
Miduo Cui, Haochen Wang, Shangqin Mao +6
Auto-bidding is a core component of real-time advertising systems, where decisions must optimize long-term performance under budget and cost constraints, while online exploration i…
The 2nd EReL@MIR Workshop on Efficient Representation Learning for Multimodal Information Retrieval
Junchen Fu, Xuri Ge, Xin Xin +6
Multimodal representation learning has attracted increasing attention in AI, driven by the strong performance of large, pretrained multimodal foundation models such as Qwen, LLaVA,…
Reinforced Efficient Reasoning via Semantically Diverse Exploration
Ziqi Zhao, Zhaochun Ren, Jiahong Zou +9
Reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR) has proven effective in enhancing the reasoning of large language models (LLMs). Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS)-based extensio…
Differentiable Semantic ID for Generative Recommendation
Junchen Fu, Xuri Ge, Alexandros Karatzoglou +4
Generative recommendation provides a novel paradigm in which each item is represented by a discrete semantic ID (SID) learned from rich content. Most existing methods treat SIDs as…
