HASTE: Hierarchical and Attribute-aware Supervision for Generative Recommendation

We introduce an approach showing that explicitly incorporating hierarchical and attribute-level supervision into generative recommendation can simultaneously improve training efficiency and long-tail recommendation performance.

Key points

  • Generative recommendation models have shown promising results by representing items as semantic IDs and generating these IDs autoregressively.
  • Moreover, data-sparse tail items often suffer from poor representations due to limited supervision, resulting in weaker long-tail recommendation performance.
  • HASTE's Hierarchical Loss explicitly exploits the multi-level structure of semantic IDs, providing supervision at each level of the item hierarchy and substantially accelerating training convergence.
  • HASTE improves recommendation performance across datasets and item-frequency regimes.
