Sequential recommendation aims to model dynamic user behavior from historical
interactions. Existing methods rely on either explicit item IDs or general textual features for …

In this paper, we present empirical studies on conversational recommendation tasks using
representative large language models in a zero-shot setting with three primary …

Modern recommender systems perform large-scale retrieval by embedding queries and item
candidates in the same unified space, followed by approximate nearest neighbor search to …

For a long time, different recommendation tasks require designing task-specific architectures
and training objectives. As a result, it is hard to transfer the knowledge and representations …
