New tokenization methods boost large recommendation models · 2 papers

Two research papers introduce novel methods for enhancing large recommendation models by transforming diverse signals into efficient token representations. TokenMinds focuses on pretraining discrete user tokens and dense embeddings for user understanding, demonstrating its effectiveness on YouTube. Token Factory proposes a framework to convert traditional signals into 'soft tokens,' enabling efficient integration into transformer-based recommendation models and reducing prompt length and computational overhead. AI
