In Semantic-ID (SID) based generative recommendation, each item is represented as a sequence of discrete codes, and an autoregressive model is trained to generate the SID sequence of the next item; top-K performance is then measured by…

Lifelong user modeling, which leverages users' long-term behavior sequences for CTR prediction, has been widely applied in personalized services. Existing methods generally adopted a two-stage "retrieval-refinement" strategy to balance…
