Making Collaborative Signals Count: Graph-Aware Large Language Models for Sequential Recommendation
Fenglin Yan, Bohao Wang, Jian Zhang +5
Large language models (LLMs) have been widely adopted as backbones for recommender systems. However, their language-centric pretraining makes it difficult to capture collaborative…
SmartGR: Hierarchy and Beam-Aware Knowledge Distillation for Generative Recommendation
Ziheng Zhang, Yu Cui, Bohao Wang +6
Generative recommendation (GR) has emerged as a promising paradigm for recommender systems. Scaling up GR models can improve recommendation performance, but it also substantially i…
SpecFormer: Mitigating Embedding and Attention Collapse via Spectral-Aware Transformer for Recommendation
Yu Cui, Yi Xu, Jiahao Wang +6
Transformer architectures have achieved remarkable success across diverse domains; however, directly applying their standard self-attention mechanism to recommendation often yields…
IMFuse: Instance-Aware Multi-Layer Fusion for LLM-Enhanced Sequential Recommendation
Yuheng Zheng, Yu Cui, Bin Wu +4
Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly enhanced sequential recommendation by encoding rich item textual information into semantic representations. H…
SpecTran: Spectral-Aware Transformer-based Adapter for LLM-Enhanced Sequential Recommendation
Yu Cui, Feng Liu, Zhaoxiang Wang +4
Traditional sequential recommendation (SR) models learn low-dimensional item ID embeddings from user-item interactions, often overlooking textual information such as item titles or…
HatLLM: Hierarchical Attention Masking for Enhanced Collaborative Modeling in LLM-based Recommendation
Yu Cui, Feng Liu, Jiawei Chen +6
Recent years have witnessed a surge of research on leveraging large language models (LLMs) for sequential recommendation. LLMs have demonstrated remarkable potential in inferring u…
