arXiv:2608. 11675v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Coupon campaigns seek to lift both conversion and revenue, but gross merchandise value (GMV) follows a deterministic funnel from conversion to conditional order value and is zero-inflated and heavy-tailed.

UniPolicy is a unified objective‑specific policy framework for search advertising that jointly optimizes relevance, click propensity, and commercial value. It uses objective‑aware prefix tokens, sparse MoE‑LoRA routing, and residual FFNs to decouple parameters within a shared backbone, and constructs pairwise preferences from multi‑stage behavioral feedback to strengthen clicked candidates. In large‑scale offline tests and a 7‑day online A/B test, UniPolicy improves CTR by 0.71%, RPS by 1.58%, and advertising revenue by 1.32% while keeping serving latency stable.

The paper introduces DCRMTA, an end‑to‑end framework for deep causal representation learning in multi‑touch attribution (MTA). It addresses a flaw in existing deconfounding pipelines that discard user‑related causal signals by explicitly preserving the causal impact of user features. Using structural causal modeling and adaptive counterfactual attention, DCRMTA produces invariant user representations and achieves up to a 5.2% relative improvement in PR‑AUC on real industrial datasets, while offering robust Shapley‑based credit allocations across marketing channels.

Personalized incentive allocation is vital for e-commerce, where uplift modeling is the standard for estimating Individual Treatment Effects (ITE). However, traditional models often fail in complex multi-seller environments with violations of the Stable Unit Treatment Value Assumption (SUTVA).
