SequenceO1: End-to-End Ultra-Long (100K) Sequence Modeling in Recommendation with Low-Rank Caching

SequenceO1 is an end‑to‑end framework that enables ultra‑long (up to 100K interactions) sequence modeling for recommendation systems. It compresses raw user histories into a fixed‑size sketch using Sketch Attention and then models short‑term and long‑term interests with Target‑to‑History Cross Attention. The system incorporates low‑rank caching, batching, pipeline lift, and a FlashSA kernel to keep training and inference efficient, achieving consistent offline and online performance gains when deployed at full traffic on Douyin.

WHALE: A Scalable Unified Model for Recommendation with Wukong-HSTU Architecture

arXiv:2607. 17017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As scalability becomes increasingly important in recommendation modeling, recent architectures have advanced the modeling of two broad sources of ranking signals along separate paths: non-sequence features, including user, item, context, and cross features; and sequence features from user behavior histories.

Beyond Item IDs: Scaling Short-Form-Video Recommendation via Semantic-Native Long Sequence Modeling

arXiv:2606. 07546v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Capturing user interests across extensive watch histories is critical for short-form video recommendation, yet scaling sequence length is limited by two bottlenecks: the semantic sparsity of atomic Video IDs and the quadratic computational complexity of Transformers.

SlimPer: Make Personalization Model Slim and Smart

arXiv:2607. 12281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-style architectures are increasingly adopted for industrial recommendation systems, yet they inherit a design premise misaligned with the task: generative models rely on per-token autoregressive prediction, which justifies maintaining large intermediate tensors that scale with sequence length.

DeGRe: Dense-supervised Generative Reranking for Recommendation

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.

SlimPer: Make Personalization Model Slim and Smart

Transformer-style architectures are increasingly adopted for industrial recommendation systems, yet they inherit a design premise misaligned with the task: generative models rely on per-token autoregressive prediction, which justifies maintaining large intermediate tensors that scale with sequence length. In contrast, recommendation systems produce a single set of relevance scores for each pair without token-level supervision.
