GenRecEdit: Adapting Model Editing for Generative Recommendation with Cold-Start Items
Chenglei Shen, Teng Shi, Weijie Yu +2
Generative recommendation (GR) has shown strong potential for sequential recommendation in an end-to-end generation paradigm. However, existing GR models suffer from severe cold-st…
Enhancing Bandit Algorithms with LLMs for Time-varying User Preferences in Streaming Recommendations
Chenglei Shen, Yi Zhan, Weijie Yu +2
In real-world streaming recommender systems, user preferences evolve dynamically over time. Existing bandit-based methods treat time merely as a timestamp, neglecting its explicit…
When Personalization Misleads: Understanding and Mitigating Hallucinations in Personalized LLMs
Zhongxiang Sun, Yi Zhan, Chenglei Shen +4
Personalized large language models (LLMs) adapt model behavior to individual users to enhance user satisfaction, yet personalization can inadvertently distort factual reasoning. We…
LLaDA-Rec: Discrete Diffusion for Parallel Semantic ID Generation in Generative Recommendation
Teng Shi, Chenglei Shen, Weijie Yu +6
Generative recommendation represents each item as a semantic ID, i.e., a sequence of discrete tokens, and generates the next item through autoregressive decoding. While effective,…
Balancing Stylization and Truth via Disentangled Representation Steering
Chenglei Shen, Zhongxiang Sun, Teng Shi +2
Generating stylized large language model (LLM) responses via representation editing is a promising way for fine-grained output control. However, there exists an inherent trade-off:…
Paragon: Parameter Generation for Controllable Multi-Task Recommendation
Chenglei Shen, Jiahao Zhao, Xiao Zhang +3
Commercial recommender systems face the challenge that task requirements from platforms or users often change dynamically (e.g., varying preferences for accuracy or diversity). Ide…
