Routing Between Generative and Collaborative User Profiles: A Serving-Time Gate for Controllable Novelty

Milad Sabouri, Neeraj Sharma, Sardar Hamidian +1

Large language models (LLMs) enable rich semantic user profiles for recommendation, but such profiles are more expensive to generate and are not necessarily desirable to deploy uni…
