DiffuGR: Generative Document Retrieval with Diffusion Language Models

Xinpeng Zhao, Zhaochun Ren, Yukun Zhao +9

Generative retrieval (GR) reframes document retrieval as an end-to-end task of generating sequential document identifiers (DocIDs). Existing GR methods predominantly rely on left-t…

Curriculum Approximate Unlearning for Session-based Recommendation

Liu Yang, Zhaochun Ren, Ziqi Zhao +7

Approximate unlearning for session-based recommendation refers to eliminating the influence of specific training samples from the recommender without retraining of (sub-)models. Gr…

Improving Sequential Recommenders through Counterfactual Augmentation of System Exposure

Ziqi Zhao, Zhaochun Ren, Jiyuan Yang +7

In sequential recommendation (SR), system exposure refers to items that are exposed to the user. Typically, only a few of the exposed items would be interacted with by the user. Al…

Towards Empathetic Conversational Recommender Systems

Xiaoyu Zhang, Ruobing Xie, Yougang Lyu +7

Conversational recommender systems (CRSs) are able to elicit user preferences through multi-turn dialogues. They typically incorporate external knowledge and pre-trained language m…
