Abstract:Semantic-ID (SID) tokenizers are increasingly reused as standalone artifacts in generative recommendation: an exported item-to-code mapping becomes the address space that a later sequence generator must use. These mappings rarely come with a common inspection interface, so coverage gaps, full-code aliasing, behaviorally weak prefixes, tail compression, and prefix fan-out are often found only after downstream training. We present SIDInspector, a mapping-first diagnostic resource for SID tokenizer artifacts. SIDInspector defines a small adapter contract over item mappings, metadata, interactions, and optional generator traces; validates the contract; and reports mapping-level probes for utilization, aliasing, neighborhood alignment, popularity allocation, and structural cost, with hooks for temporal churn and generator traces.
SIDInspector characterizes exported mappings independently of downstream leaderboard scores. The release covers four tokenizer lines: GRID-style RQ-KMeans under two capacity settings and a bounded ReSID/GAOQ export in a same-item Musical protocol, plus released LETTER and LC-Rec item-index artifacts. In that protocol, D2 aliasing falls from 0.977 to 0.779 under added GRID-style capacity and to 0.000 for ReSID/GAOQ, while D3 remains below a deterministic category-prefix control (0.055-0.154 versus 0.447). SIDInspector exposes capacity, addressability, and behavioral prefix alignment as distinct artifact properties before method-level evaluation. Additional domain checks show the same diagnostic distinction. Bounded fixed-reranker probes connect prefix alignment to candidate exposure, while final ranking quality remains a downstream model question.
