Learning Better Reasoning for Generative Recommendation with Semantic IDs

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 24, 2026 · UTC

Generative recommendation reformulates item retrieval as sequence generation, allowing a unified model to directly generate the next item from a user's interaction history. Semantic IDs further make this paradigm effective and scalable by representing each item as discrete codes, enabling knowledge sharing among semantically related items. Recent studies introduce explicit reasoning before Semantic-ID generation, helping models summarize user interests and infer possible preference transitions. However, reasoning is not inherently beneficial: Inaccurate or uninformative reasoning may mislead s
