New Stresa framework enhances multimodal embedding models for recommendation

Researchers have introduced Stresa, a novel framework designed to enhance the performance of large pre-trained multimodal embedding models in sequential recommendation tasks. Stresa addresses challenges in adapting these models by incorporating Stream-aware Hidden-Adapter Fusion (SHAF) to maintain historical memory during fusion and Residual Stream Adapter (ReSA) for selective updates across layers. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that Stresa surpasses existing side adapters and state-of-the-art baselines on public datasets, showcasing its effectiveness in adapting large embedding models for recommendation systems. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more effective and efficient recommendation systems by better leveraging large pre-trained multimodal models.

    Stream-aware Side Adaptation for Large Pre-trained Multimodal Embedding Models in Sequential Recommendation

    Recently, large pretrained multimodal embedding models such as Qwen3-VL Embedding have shown strong promise for sequential recommendation, as they provide reusable semantic item representations across modalities and domains. However, directly using these embeddings often leads to…
