Research Plan
LLM & Synthetic Data for RecSys
57 papers from 2025–2026 on cleaning interaction logs, cross-domain synthetic events, grounded augmentation, recommendation curricula, and user simulation.
Reasoning over Semantic IDs
71 papers from 2025–2026 on when intermediate computation helps item-token prediction: prefix rewards, latent reasoning, explicit rationales, retrieval, and test-time search.
LLM × User Profiles
69 papers from 2025–2026 on writing profiles from behavior, updating them over time, grounding claims in evidence, and testing whether models actually use them.
User Interest Exploration
45 papers from 2025–2026 on testing whether a new interest is real, proposing nearby directions, giving users control, and measuring long-term effects.
GRPO after the Boom
80 papers from 2025–2026 on GRPO objectives, failure modes, entropy and diversity, rollout efficiency, domain adaptations, and simpler alternatives.
