The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The organizing machinery is the axis of item-property construction. An item in SR can be represented by a unique ID, an ID enriched with categorical, numerical, or graph features, modality embeddings from text, image, or video encoders, or semantic tokens from quantized generative tokenizers; the survey uses this spectrum as a lens through which all models are compared. This axis carries the argument because it converts scattered architectural differences into a single question: what is the item, and what information does that representation carry for transfer, sparsity, and cold-start performance.
What would settle it
Re-run the representative models—SASRec, BERT4Rec, FDSA, S3-Rec, UniSRec, MISSRec, TIGER, SpecGR, P5, and Lite-LLM4Rec—on the same Amazon Office, Game, and Toy splits with identical preprocessing, candidate sets, and hyperparameter budgets; if the ranking implied by Table 5 does not reproduce, the survey's comparative conclusions would be refuted.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The survey's central claim is that sequential recommendation (SR) research is most clearly organized by asking how an item's properties are constructed. On that axis it distinguishes models that use only a unique item ID; models that pair the ID with categorical, numerical, knowledge-graph, or social features; models that replace or enrich the ID with multi-modal features such as text, images, and video; and the newest generation that builds semantic IDs, calls on large language models, retrieves from ultra-long sequences, or augments the data itself. The authors argue that this framing exposes the key trade-offs: ID-only models are efficient but cannot transfer across platforms or cope with cold-start, side information and multi-modal features improve sparsity and transferability at higher cost, and generative and LLM-based models point toward open-domain, explainable, and data-centric recommendation.
Load-bearing premise
The load-bearing premise is that the performance numbers copied into Table 5 from three different papers are directly comparable despite likely differences in preprocessing, candidate sampling, and hyperparameters; if those conditions differ, the observed rankings between model families do not stand.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- If the taxonomy is right, the next wave of SR designs will be chosen by where they sit on the ID-to-semantic spectrum rather than by backbone architecture alone.
- Pure ID-based models remain the practical efficiency baseline; side-information and multi-modal variants buy cold-start and transferability improvements at higher compute and tuning cost.
- Generative SR with semantic IDs can keep embedding tables from growing linearly with item count and shares knowledge between similar items.
- LLM-powered SR models improve semantic understanding and enable data generation, but their recommendation gains are demonstrated only under the comparisons assembled in the survey.
- Ultra-long sequences are handled by retrieving a few relevant items before attention, which keeps inference latency bounded.
Reading between the lines
- Inference: If the property-construction axis is adopted as a design principle, it suggests combining modality-based representations for cold-start and transfer with item IDs in warm-start regimes, since the survey notes IDs capture collaborative signals that modality features miss.
- Inference: The Table 5 comparisons are copied from three separate papers rather than re-run; a controlled re-benchmark under one preprocessing and candidate-sampling protocol would be the natural test of the survey's performance ordering.
- Inference: The taxonomy could be extended to judge future work by asking whether a new model moves along the axis, for instance toward fully semantic or ID-free representations, rather than by which architecture it uses.

Referee Report
Summary. The manuscript is a survey of sequential recommendation (SR) that proposes to organize the field from the perspective of how an item's properties are constructed. It defines four formal categories (pure ID-based, ID plus general features, modality-only, and ID plus multimodal features) in Section 3.3, and then devotes separate sections to multi-modal SR, generative SR, LLM-powered SR, ultra-long sequence SR, and data-augmented SR. The survey also collects datasets, evaluation protocols, metrics, and a table of experimental results, and ends with future research directions. Its stated contributions are a comprehensive summary, a four-category taxonomy, a summary of the latest techniques, and empirical studies.
Significance. If the property-construction taxonomy were rigorously applied, the survey would offer a genuinely useful organizing scheme for the heterogeneous SR literature, and its coverage of recent LLM-powered and generative recommendation work is timely. The paper is a secondary source with no derivations or fitted models, so its value lies entirely in the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of its synthesis. The descriptive sections are generally consistent with the cited literature and the reference list is broad, which makes the survey a potentially useful entry point. However, the central novelty claim is only partially realized, and the empirical comparisons in Section 7.4 rest on numbers copied from different papers that are not comparable under a common protocol. These issues do not require new experiments to fix, but they do require reworking the taxonomy and the empirical claims, so the current version needs revision before it can be judged as a reliable roadmap.
major comments (2)
- [Section 3.3, Section 3.4, and Figure 5] The claimed four-category taxonomy based on "construction of item properties" is not the organizing principle of the survey. Section 3.3 defines the four categories P(i|S_u), P(i|S_u,N), P(i|F), and P(i|S_u,F), and the abstract and contribution list say the survey studies SR from this new perspective. Yet Section 6.2 introduces generative recommendation with semantic IDs, formalized in Eq. (20) as P(i|S_u)=prod_j p(y_{i,j}|S_u,y_{i,<j}); this is a fifth type of item construction that is absent from the four formal categories. Section 6.3 groups models by whether LLMs are used for direct recommendation, semantic embeddings, or data generation, which is a technique axis; Section 6.4 groups by sequence length; and Section 6.5 groups by data augmentation. Figure 5 itself uses a different top-level taxonomy ('Pure ID-based SR', 'SR with Side Information', 'Recent SR Advancements'). Therefore the paper's central claim of a comprehensive property-construction-based categorization is not supported as stated. Please either restructure the survey so that all covered directions are derived from the item-property axis, or narrow the novelty claim to the categories where the axis is actually used.
- [Section 7.4, Table 5] The comparative conclusions in Section 7.4 rest on numbers copied from three different papers ([138], [147], [149]), as the text acknowledges. These results were obtained under potentially different preprocessing, candidate sampling, negative sampling, hyperparameter settings, and data splits; the survey also explicitly says the data in each domain is processed according to the corresponding original papers. The bullet claims (e.g., "LLM-powered SR models show better recommendation performance than traditional SR models" and "SR models with side information achieve better performance than pure ID-based SR ones") treat these non-comparable numbers as though they were produced in a single evaluation. Table 5 also reports no variance or significance measures. As a survey, it is acceptable to quote previously published results, but the authors should either label them strictly as case-by-case reported figures with no cross-paper comparability, or carry out (or cite) a uniform reimplementation. The current wording overstates what the evidence supports.
minor comments (6)
- [Section 3.2] The phrase "entity IDs ... are quietly different" should read "quite different".
- [Section 7.4, Table 5] In Table 5, the row header "FDSR" appears inconsistent with the text of Section 7.4, which names the model as "FDSA" (reference [121]). Please make the naming consistent.
- [Section 6.1] In the sentence "In order words, the representations of item i are obtained...", the phrase should be "In other words".
- [Section 7.2] The text says "Compared with random sampling, this split method is more stable," but the method being described is a candidate-sampling procedure, not a data-split method. Please rephrase to avoid the inaccurate use of "split method."
- [Figure 5] The text inside Figure 5 appears to contain several OCR-like typographical errors (e.g., "Pur e TD-base d SR", "Neu r al Neiwo r ks"). Please provide a clean version of the figure.
- [References] Reference [160] has a typo in its title: "Leveraing" should be "Leveraging".
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: the paper is a survey whose taxonomic claims are descriptive summaries, not derived predictions.
full rationale
This is a survey paper, so the relevant test is whether any load-bearing claim (e.g., the four-category item-property taxonomy, or the comparative observations in Section 7.4) reduces by construction to its own inputs or to a self-citation chain. It does not. The four categories in Section 3.3 are definitions used to organize later sections, not predictions derived from fitted parameters. Equation (20) formalizes generative recommendation as an autoregressive factorization over semantic-ID tokens; this is a mathematical definition of the generative setup, not a result whose output is equivalent to its input. The survey's citations to the authors' own prior surveys (Refs. [19] and [20]) appear only in the related-work comparison and are not used to justify the central taxonomy. The observational conclusions in Section 7.4 are explicitly copied from external papers for direct comparison; while their comparability is a legitimate methodological concern, no fitting or derivation is performed in this survey, so nothing is statistically forced. The internal inconsistency between the promised four-category property-construction taxonomy and the three-part organization in Figure 5 is a real organizational and novelty limitation, but it is not a circularity: the survey does not derive its conclusions from the taxonomy it fails to apply consistently. No circular step can be quoted from the text, so the honest finding is no significant circularity (score 0).
Assumptions & free parameters
assumptions (3)
- domain assumption The results in Table 5, copied from papers [138, 147, 149], are accurate and were obtained under comparable settings.
- ad hoc to paper The proposed four-category taxonomy based on item properties is a valid organizing scheme that captures the key distinctions among SR models.
- domain assumption Multi-modal features (text, images, videos) share a universal semantic space across domains and platforms.

Different from most conventional recommendation problems, sequential recommendation focuses on learning users' preferences by exploiting the internal order and dependency among the interacted items, which has received significant attention from both researchers and practitioners. In recent years, we have witnessed great progress and achievements in this field, necessitating a new survey. In this survey, we study the SR problem from a new perspective (i.e., the construction of an item's properties), and summarize the most recent techniques used in sequential recommendation such as pure ID-based SR, SR with side information, multi-modal SR, generative SR, LLM-powered SR, ultra-long SR and data-augmented SR. Moreover, we introduce some frontier research topics in sequential recommendation, e.g., open-domain SR, data-centric SR, could-edge collaborative SR, continuous SR, SR for good, and explainable SR. We believe that our survey could be served as a valuable roadmap for readers in this field.
