Generative recommendation has recently emerged as a promising paradigm for sequential recommendation. It formulates the task as an autoregressive generation process, predicting tokens of the next item conditioned on user interaction…

LLM agents that store knowledge as natural language suffer steep retrieval degradation as condition count grows, often struggle to compose learned rules reliably, and typically lack explicit mechanisms to detect stale or adversarial…

Agentic systems operating over large tool ecosystems must plan and execute long-horizon workflows under weak or non-verifiable supervision. While frontier models mitigate these challenges through scale and large context budgets, small…
