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…
LBR: Towards Mitigating Length Bias in Large Language Models for Recommendation
Hongchen Li, Bohao Wang, Jingbang Chen +5
Large language models (LLMs) have recently emerged as powerful backbones for recommender systems by reformulating recommendation as a token-level generation task. Despite their pro…
Trustworthy Recommendation in the Era of Large Language Models: Opportunities and Challenges
Bohao Wang, Yu Cui, Zhenxiang Xu +13
The field of recommender systems (RS) is currently undergoing two profound paradigm shifts. From the perspective of objectives, the goal has shifted beyond mere recommendation accu…
BEAR: Towards Beam-Search-Aware Optimization for Recommendation with Large Language Models
Weiqin Yang, Bohao Wang, Zhenxiang Xu +5
Recent years have seen a rapid surge in research leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) for recommendation. These methods typically employ supervised fine-tuning (SFT) to adapt LL…
Not All Candidates are Created Equal: A Heterogeneity-Aware Approach to Pre-ranking in Recommender Systems
Pengfei Tong, Siyuan Chen, Chenwei Zhang +4
Most large-scale recommender systems follow a multi-stage cascade of retrieval, pre-ranking, ranking, and re-ranking. A key challenge at the pre-ranking stage arises from the heter…
