Role of Personality in Conversational Information Seeking
Abdisalam Abukar, Junchen Fu, Chengli Zhai +1
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for information seeking, where users find, compare, and evaluate information through dialogue. In this role, the assistant does m…
RecRec: Latent Interests Recursive Reasoning for Sequential Recommendation
Wenhao Deng, Junchen Fu, Hanwen Du +6
The paper introduces RecRec, a framework that separates reasoning from prediction in sequential recommendation by compressing user histories into multiple latent interests and recu…
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…
FrED: External Data Influence Estimation via Domain Knowledge Graph Grounding
Theodoros Aivalis, Iraklis A. Klampanos, Antonis Troumpoukis +1
The rapid deployment of generative AI has amplified the critical need for Training Data Attribution to ensure transparency and accountability. However, current parametric approache…
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,…
