LLM-Based Generative Retrieval for Snapchat Content Recommendation

Liam Collins, Jiwen Ren, Donald Loveland +19

Pretrained large language models (LLMs) are promising retrieval engines because they combine rich semantic priors, strong sequence modeling capabilities, and favorable scaling beha…

Preserving Item Semantics for Free: Rethinking Token Initialization in LLM-Based Generative Recommendation

Donald Loveland, Liam Collins, Bhuvesh Kumar +2

Recent advances in generative recommendation (GR) leverage large language models (LLMs) as recommender backbones, enabling LLMs to directly generate recommendations conditioned on…

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 Memorization Behavior of LLMs in Generative Recommendation: Observations, Implications, and Training Strategies

Sunwoo Kim, Sunkyung Lee, Clark Mingxuan Ju +5

Generative recommendation (GR) has emerged as a promising direction for recommender systems. Recently, large language models (LLMs) have been increasingly adopted for GR, as their…

MLPs are Efficient Distilled Generative Recommenders

Zitian Guo, Yupeng Hou, Clark Mingxuan Ju +2

Generative recommendation models employing Semantic IDs (SIDs) exhibit strong potential, yet their practical deployment is bottlenecked by the high inference latency of beam-expand…

Expressiveness Limits of Autoregressive Semantic ID Generation in Generative Recommendation

Yupeng Hou, Haven Kim, Clark Mingxuan Ju +3

Generative recommendation (GR) models generate items by autoregressively producing a sequence of discrete tokens that jointly index the target item. However, this autoregressive ge…
