arXiv:2606.09888v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Linear attention provides an efficient backbone for long-sequence recommendation by avoiding the quadratic cost of standard Transformers, but its compressed recurrent state can be dominated by repetitive behavior patterns. We identify this phenomenon as semantic state sink, where recurring semantics over-occupy the recurrent state and bias subsequent readouts. To mitigate semantic state sink, we propose SinkRec, a hybrid memory-transition looped architecture that decouples collaborative behavioral pattern storage from dynamic transition modeling.
