Experiments on three Amazon recommendation benchmarks show that soft-token fusion improves retrieval performance over LLM-based baselines, and that interaction-based fusion is more effective than direct concatenation of heterogeneous soft tokens.
Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful assets for recommender systems. However, deploying them as generative recommenders or zero-shot rankers at web-scale remains bottlenecked by prohibitive computational overhead and grounding challenges. In this paper, we revitalize the classic, highly efficient two-t...
