RepFusion: Leveraging Multimodal Priors for Denoising in Representation Space

Xichen Pan, Aashu Singh, Satya Narayan Shukla +3

Large language models (LLMs) are widely used in text-to-image (T2I) systems, but they are typically limited to text encoding, while denoising is handled by newly trained generative…

Principled Synthetic Data Enables the First Scaling Laws for LLMs in Recommendation

Benyu Zhang, Qiang Zhang, Jianpeng Cheng +10

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 cr…

Unifying Contrastive and Generative Objectives for Visual Understanding and Text-to-Image Generation

Chao Li, Tianhong Li, Sai Vidyaranya Nuthalapati +9

Unifying text-image contrastive learning and text-to-image (T2I) generation in a single end-to-end model is challenging because the two objectives demand opposing masking regimes:…

Rethinking ANN-based Retrieval: Multifaceted Learnable Index for Large-scale Recommendation System

Jiang Zhang, Yubo Wang, Wei Chang +14

Approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search is widely used in the retrieval stage of large-scale recommendation systems. In this stage, candidate items are indexed using their learne…
