Distilling LLM Reasoning into Dense Encoders: Bridging the Accuracy-Efficiency Gap in Recommendation
Reasoning-to-Encoder Distilla-tion (R2END), a framework that establishes a text encoder as the optimal student architecture for scalable recommendation, and compresses the teacher’s reasoning into a dense vector space via a semantic alignment objec-tive, effectively capturing user-item dynamics.
