Denoising Neural Reranker for Recommender Systems

ICLR 2026poster

For multi-stage recommenders in industry, a user request would first trigger a simple and efficient retriever module that selects and ranks a list of relevant items, then the recommender calls a slower but more sophisticated reranking model that refines the item list exposure to the user. To consist…

MemOCR: Layout-Aware Visual Memory for Efficient Long-Horizon Reasoning

ICML 2026poster

Long-horizon agentic reasoning necessitates effectively compressing growing interaction histories into a limited context window. Most existing memory systems serialize history as text, where token-level cost is uniform and scales linearly with length, often spending scarce budget on low-value detail…

Fading to Grow: Growing Preference Ratios via Preference Fading Discrete Diffusion for Recommendation

NeurIPS 2025poster

Recommenders aim to rank items from a discrete item corpus in line with user interests, yet suffer from extremely sparse user preference data. Recent advances in diffusion models have inspired diffusion-based recommenders, which alleviate sparsity by injecting noise during a forward process to preve…

On Efficiency-Effectiveness Trade-off of Diffusion-based Recommenders

NeurIPS 2025poster

Diffusion models have emerged as a powerful paradigm for generative sequential recommendation, which typically generate next items to recommend guided by user interaction histories with a multi-step denoising process. However, the multi-step process relies on discrete approximations, introducing dis…
