Hierarchical Quantization with Domain-Adaptive Sparse Routing for Generative Cross-Domain Recommendation

Generative Recommendation (GenRec) represents a promising paradigm that achieves remarkable empirical success by encoding items as compact Semantic IDs (SIDs) and modeling user behavior via next-token prediction across diverse recommendation scenarios. Extending this paradigm to cross-domain recommendation is challengi...

EvoSkillRec: Skill-Genome Evolution for Recommender Architecture Discovery

Modern recommender systems advance not only by scaling data and parameters, but also by encoding task-specific inductive biases through architecture, including sparse feature interactions for click-through rate (CTR) prediction, temporal attention for sequential recommendation, and expert routing for multi-task learnin...

Tutorial on Generative Recommendation: Foundations and Frontiers

This work comprehensively surveys recent generative recommendation advances through a tri-decoupled perspective, summarize the evolution of tokenization strategies, analyze the trade-offs of major generative architectures, and summarize the transition from supervised next-token prediction to reinforcement-learning-base...

PROMISE: Process Reward Models for Unlocking Test-Time Scaling Laws in Generative Recommendations

This work proposes Promise, a novel framework that integrates dense, step-by-step verification into generative models, and unlocks Test-Time Scaling Laws in recommender systems, demonstrating that by increasing inference compute, smaller models can match or surpass larger models.

Tutorial on Generative Recommendation: Foundations and Frontiers

In the current digital ecosystem, recommender systems serve as the core infrastructure for navigating large-scale content catalogs and delivering personalized services, typically following multi-stage discriminative pipelines (e.g., retrieval, ranking, and re-ranking). However, their fragmented architectures cause casc...

WhisperRec: Latent Reasoning for Efficient Foundation Recommendation Models

WhisperRec compresses teacher-generated CoT into learnable latent reasoning tokens, enabling a Latent-Reason-then-Answer paradigm that performs reasoning in latent space without producing verbose rationales, and achieves over 10x higher online inference throughput.
