Controllable Generative Recommendation via Guided Token Refinement

Haichao Zhang, Zhixuan Liang, Chong Zhang +3

Generative recommendation over discrete Semantic IDs has become a powerful paradigm for item retrieval. Real-world systems, however, frequently require real-time controllability to…

PsyBer-Agent: A Psychology-Driven User Agent for Recommender Systems

Chong Zhang, Qijie Shen, Haichao Zhang +3

Evaluating recommender systems before deployment requires simulators that remain realistic over long, closed-loop interaction cycles. Current LLM-based agents generally function as…

Grounded Token Initialization for New Vocabulary in LMs for Generative Recommendation

Daiwei Chen, Zhoutong Fu, Chengming Jiang +12

Language models (LMs) are increasingly extended with new learnable vocabulary tokens for domain-specific tasks, such as Semantic-ID tokens in generative recommendation. The standar…

Customized Retrieval-Augmented Generation with LLM for Debiasing Recommendation Unlearning

Haichao Zhang, Chong Zhang, Peiyu Hu +2

Modern recommender systems face a critical challenge in complying with privacy regulations like the 'right to be forgotten': removing a user's data without disrupting recommendatio…

Uncertainty-Aware Semantic Decoding for LLM-Based Sequential Recommendation

Chenke Yin, Li Fan, Jia Wang +4

Large language models have been widely applied to sequential recommendation tasks, yet during inference, they continue to rely on decoding strategies developed for natural language…

Do You Need the Entropy Reward (in Practice)?

Haonan Yu, Haichao Zhang, Wei Xu

Maximum entropy (MaxEnt) RL maximizes a combination of the original task reward and an entropy reward. It is believed that the regularization imposed by entropy, on both policy imp…
