生成式推荐(GenRec)将推荐任务重构为序列生成问题,将物品表示为对称使用的离散语义ID。我们发现该设计存在双重信息瓶颈:(1) 输入瓶颈,量化损失导致细粒度语义退化,流行度偏倚使学习表征偏向高频物品;(2) 输出瓶颈,不精确的离散目标限制监督质量。为此,我们提出AsymRec,一种不对称的连续-离散框架,解耦输入与输出表示。具体地,克罗内克残差桥(KRB)通过带有残差路径的克罗内克投影,将连续嵌入映射至Transformer隐藏空间,保留语义丰富性并增强对低频物品的泛化能力。多面层次量化(MHQ)通过多视角、多层次量化构建高容量、结构化的离散目标,并引入语义正则化,防止维度坍缩的同时保留细粒度区分。大量实验表明,AsymRec在多个数据集上平均性能优于当前最优生成式推荐模型18.7%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generative Recommendation (GenRec) models reformulate recommendation as a sequence generation task, representing items as discrete Semantic IDs used symmetrically as both inputs and prediction targets. We identify a critical dual-stage information bottleneck in this design: (1) the Input Bottleneck, where lossy quantization degrades fine-grained semantics, while popularity bias skews learned representations toward frequent items, and (2) the Output Bottleneck, where imprecise discrete targets limit supervision quality. To address these issues, we propose AsymRec, an asymmetric continuous-discrete framework that decouples input and output representations. Specifically, Kronecker Residual Bridge (KRB) maps continuous embeddings into the Transformer's hidden space via a Kronecker projection with a residual pathway, preserving semantic richness and improving generalization to infrequent items. Multi-faceted Hierarchical Quantization (MHQ) constructs high-capacity, structured discrete targets through multi-view and multi-level quantization with semantic regularization, preventing dimensional collapse while retaining fine-grained distinctions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that AsymRec consistently outperforms state-of-the-art generative recommenders by an average of 18.7%.
