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…

When GNNs Fail: Quantifying and Overcoming Temporal Correlation Volatility in Time Series

Chen Shao, Yue Wang, Zhenyi Zhu +4

Modeling multivariate time series by representing them as graphs, where individual series act as nodes and pairwise temporal corre- lations serve as edges, has gained significant t…

Formalizing and Mitigating Structural Distortion in LLM Attention for Graph Reasoning

Donald Loveland, Puja Trivedi, Ari Weinstein +2

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise for reasoning over Text-Attributed Graphs (TAGs). However, applying LLMs to graphs requires linearizing their structure into sequenc…

Experiment-as-Code Labs: A Declarative Stack for AI-Driven Scientific Discovery

Zhenning Yang, Yuhan Chen, Patrick Tser Jern Kon +5

To unleash the full potential of AI for Science, we must untether the agents from a purely digital environment. The agent's ability to control and explore in real-world labs is ess…

AgentDR: Dynamic Recommendation with Implicit Item-Item Relations via LLM-based Agents

Mingdai Yang, Nurendra Choudhary, Jiangshu Du +4

Recent agent-based recommendation frameworks aim to simulate user behaviors by incorporating memory mechanisms and prompting strategies, but they struggle with hallucinating non-ex…

GRAPHTEXTACK: A Realistic Black-Box Node Injection Attack on LLM-Enhanced GNNs

Jiaji Ma, Puja Trivedi, Danai Koutra

Text-attributed graphs (TAGs), which combine structural and textual node information, are ubiquitous across many domains. Recent work integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with G…
