Denoising Neural Reranker for Recommender Systems
Wenyu Mao, Shuchang Liu, Hailan Yang +9
For multi-stage recommenders in industry, a user request would first trigger a simple and efficient retriever module that selects and ranks a list of relevant items, then the recom…
GoalRank: Group-Relative Optimization for a Large Ranking Model
Kaike Zhang, Xiaobei Wang, Shuchang Liu +7
Mainstream ranking approaches typically follow a Generator-Evaluator two-stage paradigm, where a generator produces candidate lists and an evaluator selects the best one. Recent wo…
Who You Are Matters: Bridging Topics and Social Roles via LLM-Enhanced Logical Recommendation
Qing Yu, Xiaobei Wang, Shuchang Liu +14
Recommender systems filter contents/items valuable to users by inferring preferences from user features and historical behaviors. Mainstream approaches follow the learning-to-rank…
Fading to Grow: Growing Preference Ratios via Preference Fading Discrete Diffusion for Recommendation
Guoqing Hu, An Zhang. Shuchang Liu, Wenyu Mao +7
Recommenders aim to rank items from a discrete item corpus in line with user interests, yet suffer from extremely sparse user preference data. Recent advances in diffusion models h…
Representation Quantization for Collaborative Filtering Augmentation
Yunze Luo, Yinjie Jiang, Gaode Chen +9
As the core algorithm in recommendation systems, collaborative filtering (CF) algorithms inevitably face the problem of data sparsity. Since CF captures similar users and items for…
