Behavior2Value: Benchmarking and Empowering LLMs for Consumer Value Measurement from E-commerce Behaviors

The paper introduces the Behavior-to-Value (B2V) task, which seeks to identify consumer values from e-commerce behavioral trajectories. It presents the E-commerce Consumption Value Taxonomy (ECVT) and the B2V-Bench dataset, derived from anonymized Taobao logs and covering 25 purchase behaviors with associated value orientations. A new model, B2V-Verifier, is proposed to improve value measurement accuracy, achieving a 34% boost in multi-label classification over strong LLM baselines.

Large Behavior Model: A Promptable Digital Twin of the Retail Customer

arXiv:2607. 06993v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Customer behavior modeling underpins recommendation, marketing, and decision support, yet existing approaches either optimize predictive accuracy without explaining decisions or simulate users without grounding them in real behavioral data.

DCEO: Direct Causal Effect Optimization for Long-Term User Value Modeling in E-commerce Search

The paper introduces DCEO, a data‑driven framework that learns item‑level proxy scores directly aligned with long‑term user objectives in e‑commerce search. It aggregates these scores into a user‑level metric, measures alignment via relative causal effect, and uses an actor‑critic model to generate context‑dependent fusion weights for multiple objectives. Offline experiments and a 41‑day online A/B test show DCEO improves GMV by 0.36% over traditional proxies.

LLP: LLM-Based Product Pricing in E-commerce

The paper introduces LLP, a Large Language Model–based generative framework for pricing second‑hand products on consumer‑to‑consumer platforms. LLP retrieves similar items to capture market dynamics, then uses LLMs to generate price suggestions, refined through supervised fine‑tuning and group relative policy optimization. A confidence‑based filter rejects unreliable predictions, and experiments show LLP outperforms prior methods, achieving higher static adoption rates when deployed on Xianyu.

SPARC Segmentation to Prediction via Affine Regression and Counterfactuals

Transaction propensity prediction in B2B e commerce presents unique challenges distinct from B2C contexts, primarily due to the heterogeneous procurement behaviors of organizational entities, which violate SMOTE's implicit assumption of within class feature homogeneity. Specifically, B2B buyers exhibit multi modal procurement cycles that render linear interpolation between minority class samples structurally invalid, producing synthetic data that does not represent real purchasing behavior.
