Role of Personality in Conversational Information Seeking
Abdisalam Abukar, Junchen Fu, Chengli Zhai +1
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for information seeking, where users find, compare, and evaluate information through dialogue. In this role, the assistant does m…
RecRec: Latent Interests Recursive Reasoning for Sequential Recommendation
Wenhao Deng, Junchen Fu, Hanwen Du +6
Sequential recommender systems rely on a single forward pass to encode user interaction histories and predict the next item. Increasing inference-time computation through latent re…
Stream-aware Side Adaptation for Large Pre-trained Multimodal Embedding Models in Sequential Recommendation
Junchen Fu, Kaiwen Zheng, Ioannis Arapakis +4
Recently, large pretrained multimodal embedding models such as Qwen3-VL Embedding have shown strong promise for sequential recommendation, as they provide reusable semantic item re…
Differentiable Semantic ID for Generative Recommendation
Junchen Fu, Xuri Ge, Alexandros Karatzoglou +4
Generative recommendation provides a novel paradigm in which each item is represented by a discrete semantic ID (SID) learned from rich content. Most existing methods treat SIDs as…
Are Multimodal Embeddings Truly Beneficial for Recommendation? A Deep Dive into Whole vs. Individual Modalities
Yu Ye, Junchen Fu, Yu Song +2
Multimodal recommendation has emerged as a mainstream paradigm, typically leveraging text and visual embeddings extracted from pre-trained models such as Sentence-BERT, Vision Tran…
Beyond One-Size-Fits-All: A Study of Neural and Behavioural Variability Across Different Recommendation Categories
Georgios Koutroumpas, Sebastian Idesis, Mireia Masias Bruns +4
Traditionally, Recommender Systems (RS) have primarily measured performance based on the accuracy and relevance of their recommendations. However, this algorithmic-centric approach…
