Topology-Aware Tokenization for Generative Recommendation

Yaokun Liu, Yifan Liu, Zhenrui Yue +4

Generative recommendation reformulates sequential recommendation as an autoregressive generation task, yet a critical issue in this paradigm remains overlooked: topology distortion…

The Cartesian Shortcut: Re-evaluate Vision Reasoning in Polar Coordinate Space

Xia Hu, Zhenrui Yue, Brian Potetz +4

As current Multimodal Large Language Models rapidly saturate canonical visual reasoning benchmarks, a key question emerges: do these strong scores genuinely reflect robust visual u…

Learning Decomposed Contextual Token Representations from Pretrained and Collaborative Signals for Generative Recommendation

Yifan Liu, Yaokun Liu, Zelin Li +5

Recent advances in generative recommenders adopt a two-stage paradigm: items are first tokenized into semantic IDs using a pretrained tokenizer, and then large language models (LLM…

SPRINT: Scalable and Predictive Intent Refinement for LLM-Enhanced Session-based Recommendation

Gyuseok Lee, Wonbin Kweon, Zhenrui Yue +5

Large language models (LLMs) have enhanced conventional recommendation models via user profiling, which generates representative textual profiles from users' historical interaction…

Retrieval Augmented Conversational Recommendation with Reinforcement Learning

Zhenrui Yue, Honglei Zhuang, Zhen Qin +4

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit enhanced capabilities in language understanding and generation. By utilizing their embedded knowledge, LLMs are increasingly used as conversati…

Uncertainty-Aware Variational Reward Factorization via Probabilistic Preference Bases for LLM Personalization

Gyuseok Lee, Wonbin Kweon, Zhenrui Yue +3

Reward factorization personalizes large language models (LLMs) by decomposing rewards into shared basis functions and user-specific weights. Yet, existing methods estimate user wei…
