Foundation Model for Personalized Recommendation (netflixtechblog.com)
Netflix’s personalized recommender system is a complex system, boasting a variety of specialized machine learned models each catering to distinct needs including “Continue Watching” and “Today’s Top Picks for You.” (Refer to our recent overview for more details). However, as we expanded our set of personalization algorithms to meet increasing business needs, maintenance of the recommender system became quite costly.

Improving recommendation systems and search in the age of LLMs (eugeneyan.com)
Recommendation systems and search have historically drawn inspiration from language modeling. For example, the adoption of Word2vec to learn item embeddings (for embedding-based retrieval), and using GRUs, Transformer, and BERT to predict the next best item (for ranking). The current paradigm of large language models is no different.

Unifying Generative and Dense Retrieval for Sequential Recommendation (arxiv.org)
Sequential dense retrieval models utilize advanced sequence learning techniques to compute item and user representations, which are then used to rank relevant items for a user through inner product computation between the user and all item representations.

Learning Category Trees for ID-Based Recommendation: Differentiable VQ (arxiv.org)
Category information plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality and personalization of recommender systems. Nevertheless, the availability of item category information is not consistently present, particularly in the context of ID-based recommendations.
