Comparison and verification methods to trace interaction-driven disturbances in galaxies

Low surface brightness tidal debris around galaxies, such as tails, streams, and shells, together with other interaction-driven morphological disturbances, serve as valuable indicators of past or ongoing galaxy mergers. With the growing data volume from surveys like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), automated detection methods are essential. This paper evaluates the performance of two automated methods, a Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) model and the Concentration-Asymmetry-Smoothness (CAS) parameter method, in tracing interaction-driven disturbances and merger signatures, with visual classification used as the benchmark. Visual classification yields a high-confidence disturbance fraction of 25.1 +/- 1.5% in our sample and serves as the reference standard for assessing the completeness and precision of the automated approaches. Visual classification is affected by galaxy distance and image resolution, which limit the detectability of faint low surface brightness structures. The SSL model achieves high recall (0.86 +/- 0.04) and low contamination (0.2) by retraining only its linear classifier on a small labelled dataset, making it suitable for identifying a broad set of disturbed systems, including faint tidal debris and other interaction-driven morphological disturbances, thereby providing a more complete census of merger-related features. The CAS method, using the traditional threshold A > 0.35, shows higher precision (0.77) but lower recall (0.20), indicating a conservative approach that captures cleaner but less complete samples. Visual classification and the SSL model show a significant positive correlation between stellar mass and disturbance fraction, while the CAS method exhibits a much weaker trend.

Efficient Cold-Start Recommendation via BPE Token-Level Embedding Initialization with LLM

The cold-start issue is the challenge when we talk about recommender systems, especially in the case when we do not have the past interaction data of new users or new items. Content-based features or hybrid solutions are common as conventional solutions, but they can only work in a sparse metadata environment with shallow patterns. In this paper, the efficient cold-start recommendation strategy is presented, which is based on the sub word-level representations by applying Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) tokenization and pre-trained Large Language Model (LLM) embedding in the initialization procedure. We obtain fine-grained token-level vectors that are aligned with the BPE vocabulary as opposed to using coarse-grained sentence embeddings. Together, these token embeddings can be used as dense semantic priors on unseen entities, making immediate recommendation performance possible without user-item interaction history. Our mechanism can be compared to collaborative filtering systems and tested over benchmark datasets with stringent cold-start assumptions. Experimental findings show that the given BPE-LLM method achieves higher Recall@k, NDCG@k, and Hit Rate measurements compared to the standard baseline and displays the same capability of sufficient computational performance. Furthermore, we demonstrate that using subword-aware embeddings yields better generalizability and is more interpretable, especially within a multilingual and sparse input setting. The practical application of token-level semantic initialization as a lightweight, but nevertheless effective extension to modern recommender systems in the zero-shot setting is indicated within this work.

Research on Low-Latency Inference and Training Efficiency Optimization for Graph Neural Network and Large Language Model-Based Recommendation Systems

The incessant advent of online services demands high speed and efficient recommender systems (ReS) that can maintain real-time performance along with processing very complex user-item interactions. The present study, therefore, considers computational bottlenecks involved in hybrid Graph Neural Network (GNN) and Large Language Model (LLM)-based ReS with the aim optimizing their inference latency and training efficiency. An extensive methodology was used: hybrid GNN-LLM integrated architecture-optimization strategies(quantization, LoRA, distillation)-hardware acceleration (FPGA, DeepSpeed)-all under R 4.4.2. Experimental improvements were significant, with the optimal Hybrid + FPGA + DeepSpeed configuration reaching 13.6% more accuracy (NDCG@10: 0.75) at 40-60ms of latency, while LoRA brought down training time by 66% (3.8 hours) in comparison to the non-optimized baseline. Irrespective of domain, such as accuracy or efficiency, it can be established that hardware-software co-design and parameter-efficient tuning permit hybrid models to outperform GNN or LLM approaches implemented independently. It recommends the use of FPGA as well as LoRA for real-time deployment. Future work should involve federated learning along with advanced fusion architectures for better scalability and privacy preservation. Thus, this research marks the fundamental groundwork concerning next-generation ReS balancing low-latency response with cutting-edge personalization.

LLM-Driven E-Commerce Marketing Content Optimization: Balancing Creativity and Conversion

As e-commerce competition intensifies, balancing creative content with conversion effectiveness becomes critical. Leveraging LLMs' language generation capabilities, we propose a framework that integrates prompt engineering, multi-objective fine-tuning, and post-processing to generate marketing copy that is both engaging and conversion-driven. Our fine-tuning method combines sentiment adjustment, diversity enhancement, and CTA embedding. Through offline evaluations and online A/B tests across categories, our approach achieves a 12.5 % increase in CTR and an 8.3 % increase in CVR while maintaining content novelty. This provides a practical solution for automated copy generation and suggests paths for future multimodal, real-time personalization.

Research on E-Commerce Long-Tail Product Recommendation Mechanism Based on Large-Scale Language Models

As e-commerce platforms expand their product catalogs, accurately recommending long-tail items becomes increasingly important for enhancing both user experience and platform revenue. A key challenge is the long-tail problem, where extreme data sparsity and cold-start issues limit the performance of traditional recommendation methods. To address this, we propose a novel long-tail product recommendation mechanism that integrates product text descriptions and user behavior sequences using a large-scale language model (LLM). First, we introduce a semantic visor, which leverages a pre-trained LLM to convert multimodal textual content such as product titles, descriptions, and user reviews into meaningful embeddings. These embeddings help represent item-level semantics effectively. We then employ an attention-based user intent encoder that captures users' latent interests, especially toward long-tail items, by modeling collaborative behavior patterns. These components feed into a hybrid ranking model that fuses semantic similarity scores, collaborative filtering outputs, and LLM-generated recommendation candidates. Extensive experiments on a real-world e-commerce dataset show that our method outperforms baseline models in recall (+12%), hit rate (+9%), and user coverage (+15%). These improvements lead to better exposure and purchase rates for long-tail products. Our work highlights the potential of LLMs in interpreting product content and user intent, offering a promising direction for future e-commerce recommendation systems.
