DeGRe is a dense‑supervised generative reranking framework designed to improve multi‑stage recommender systems by addressing label bias and credit assignment issues. It uses an offline Lookahead Evaluator with beam search to generate dense supervision signals, which are distilled into a lightweight Online Generator that can perform efficient greedy decoding at inference time. Experiments show that DeGRe outperforms baselines on public benchmarks and industrial datasets, and it has been successfully deployed on Taobao Flash Shopping to enhance online recommendations.

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.

FLARE introduces a dense supervision paradigm for long‑horizon coding agents, leveraging a Generative Reward Model (GRM) trained via the RADAR diagnostic framework. The GRM provides real‑time, step‑level risk feedback, enabling FLARE to act as an active scaffold that intercepts high‑risk steps during inference and supplies structured signals for post‑training fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning. Experiments show FLARE outperforms existing methods, achieving a 5× reduction in token consumption and significant performance gains in both supervised fine‑tuning and RL settings.
