π€AI Summary
Researchers introduce MuonRec, a new optimization framework for recommendation systems that significantly outperforms the widely-used Adam/AdamW optimizers. The framework reduces training steps by 32.4% on average while improving ranking quality by 12.6% in NDCG@10 metrics across traditional and generative recommenders.
Key Takeaways
- βMuonRec introduces the Muon optimizer to recommendation systems, using orthogonalized momentum updates for improved optimization efficiency.
- βThe framework reduces converged training steps by an average of 32.4% compared to Adam/AdamW baselines.
- βMuonRec achieves consistent 12.6% relative gains in NDCG@10 ranking quality across all experimental settings.
- βThe improvement is particularly pronounced in generative recommendation models compared to traditional sequential recommenders.
- βThis represents the first systematic challenge to the near-universal use of Adam/AdamW optimizers in modern RecSys pipelines.
