Bridging Semantic Understanding and Popularity Bias with LLMs

Semantic understanding of popularity bias is a crucial yet underexplored challenge in recommender systems, where popular items are often favored at the expense of niche content. Most existing debiasing methods treat the semantic understanding of popularity bias as a matter of diversity enhancement or long-tail coverage, neglecting the deeper semantic layer that embodies the causal origins of the bias itself. Consequently, such shallow interpretations limit both their debiasing effectiveness and recommendation accuracy. In this paper, we propose FairLRM, a novel framework that bridges the gap in the semantic understanding of popularity bias with Recommendation via Large Language Model (RecLLM). FairLRM decomposes popularity bias into item-side and user-side components, using structured instruction-based prompts to enhance the model's comprehension of both global item distributions and individual user preferences. Unlike traditional methods that rely on surface-level features such as "diversity" or "debiasing", FairLRM improves the model's ability to semantically interpret and address the underlying bias. Through empirical evaluation, we show that FairLRM significantly enhances both fairness and recommendation accuracy, providing a more semantically aware and trustworthy approach to enhance the semantic understanding of popularity bias. The implementation is available at https://github.com/LuoRenqiang/FairLRM.

TERGAD: Structure-Aware Text-Enhanced Representations for Graph Anomaly Detection

Graph Anomaly Detection (GAD) aims to identify atypical graph entities, such as nodes, edges, or substructures, that deviate significantly from the majority. While existing text-rich approaches typically integrate structural context into the data representation pipeline using raw textual features, they often neglect the structural context of nodes. This limitation hinders their ability to detect sophisticated anomalies arising from inconsistencies between a node's inherent content and its topological role. To bridge this gap, we propose TERGAD (Structure-aware Text-enhanced Representations for Graph Anomaly Detection), A novel data augmentation framework that enriches structural semantics for GAD via the semantic reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). Specifically, TERGAD translates node-level topological properties into descriptive natural language narratives, which are subsequently processed by an LLM to derive high-level semantic embeddings. These embeddings are then adaptively fused with original node attributes through a gated dual-branch autoencoder to jointly reconstruct both graph structure and node features. The anomaly score is computed based on the integrated reconstruction error, effectively capturing deviations in both observable attributes and LLM-informed semantic expectations. Extensive experiments on six real-world datasets demonstrate that TERGAD consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines. Furthermore, our ablation studies validate the indispensable role of structural semantic guidance and the efficacy of the gated fusion mechanism. Code is available at https://github.com/Kantorakitty/TERGAD-main.

A microstructure estimation Transformer inspired by sparse representation for diffusion MRI

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) is an important tool in characterizing tissue microstructure based on biophysical models, which are complex and highly non-linear. Resolving microstructures with optimization techniques is prone to estimation errors and requires dense sampling in the q-space. Deep learning based approaches have been proposed to overcome these limitations. Motivated by the superior performance of the Transformer, in this work, we present a learning-based framework based on Transformer, namely, a Microstructure Estimation Transformer with Sparse Coding (METSC) for dMRI-based microstructure estimation with downsampled q-space data. To take advantage of the Transformer while addressing its limitation in large training data requirements, we explicitly introduce an inductive bias - model bias into the Transformer using a sparse coding technique to facilitate the training process. Thus, the METSC is composed with three stages, an embedding stage, a sparse representation stage, and a mapping stage. The embedding stage is a Transformer-based structure that encodes the signal to ensure the voxel is represented effectively. In the sparse representation stage, a dictionary is constructed by solving a sparse reconstruction problem that unfolds the Iterative Hard Thresholding (IHT) process. The mapping stage is essentially a decoder that computes the microstructural parameters from the output of the second stage, based on the weighted sum of normalized dictionary coefficients where the weights are also learned. We tested our framework on two dMRI models with downsampled q-space data, including the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) model and the neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) model. The proposed method achieved up to 11.25 folds of acceleration in scan time and outperformed the other state-of-the-art learning-based methods.

Ab initio dipolar electron-phonon interactions in two-dimensional materials

We develop an ab initio formalism for dipolar electron-phonon interactions (EPI) in two-dimensional (2D) materials. Unlike purely longitudinal Fröhlich model, we show that the out-of-plane dipoles also contribute to the long-wavelength non-analytical behavior of EPI. And the 2D dipolar EPI plays an important role not only in the typical polar material MoS$_2$, but also in graphane and fluorinated graphene. By incorporating this formalism into Wannier-Fourier interpolation, we enable accurate EPI calculations for 2D materials and subsequent intrinsic carrier mobility prediction. The results show that Fröhlich model is inadequate for 2D materials and correct long-wavelength interaction must be included for the reliable prediction.
