Beyond Fixed Depths and Widths: Optimizing Textual Decoding Tries in LLM-based Generative Recommendation
Jingzhe Liu, Hanbing Wang, Jiliang Tang +4
Generative recommendation (GR) is an increasingly popular paradigm in recommender systems, with a prominent line of work using LLMs as autoregressive backbones to predict the next…
On the Role of Weight Decay in Collaborative Filtering: A Popularity Perspective
Donald Loveland, Mingxuan Ju, Tong Zhao +2
Collaborative filtering (CF) enables large-scale recommendation systems by encoding information from historical user-item interactions into dense ID-embedding tables. However, as e…
Beyond Unimodal Boundaries: Generative Recommendation with Multimodal Semantics
Jing Zhu, Mingxuan Ju, Yozen Liu +3
Generative recommendation (GR) has become a powerful paradigm in recommendation systems that implicitly links modality and semantics to item representation, in contrast to previous…
GraphHash: Graph Clustering Enables Parameter Efficiency in Recommender Systems
Xinyi Wu, Donald Loveland, Runjin Chen +7
Deep recommender systems rely heavily on large embedding tables to handle high-cardinality categorical features such as user/item identifiers, and face significant memory constrain…
Breaking Information Cocoons: A Hyperbolic Framework for Balancing Exploration and Exploitation in Recommender Systems
Qiyao Ma, Menglin Yang, Mingxuan Ju +3
Modern recommender systems often create information cocoons, restricting users' exposure to diverse content. The central challenge is to balance content exploration and exploitatio…
Understanding and Scaling Collaborative Filtering Optimization from the Perspective of Matrix Rank
Donald Loveland, Xinyi Wu, Tong Zhao +3
Collaborative Filtering (CF) methods dominate real-world recommender systems given their ability to learn high-quality, sparse ID-embedding tables that effectively capture user pre…
Robust Training Objectives Improve Embedding-based Retrieval in Industrial Recommendation Systems
Matthew Kolodner, Mingxuan Ju, Zihao Fan +5
Improving recommendation systems (RS) can greatly enhance the user experience across many domains, such as social media. Many RS utilize embedding-based retrieval (EBR) approaches…
