לא שחור ולא לבן: הפרדה בין סימני פרשנות וסימני עבודה משותפת עם גרפים-מודינסטרד

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.01533v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing work on Semantic IDs (SIDs) for generative recommendation treats SID construction as a representation learning problem: encode items into a quantised latent space and read off codes. We argue this view is incidental. SID construction is, at heart, a recursive clustering problem, and once stated this way the natural object to cluster is a graph whose nodes carry semantic content and whose edges carry collaborative signal; SID assignment becomes a hierarchical graph partition. This reframing yields a unified framework, Graph-Informed Semantic IDs (GrIS), that subsumes prior approaches rather than displacing them. RQ-VAE and RQ-KMeans are recovered as the special case where the graph is empty, exposing content-only quantisation as one c
