The paper introduces CM-PTM, a Cross Multi-source Behavior Pre-Training Model designed to learn mobile game user representations from device-level behavioral logs. It uses hierarchical cascaded mask‑then‑predict tasks to first identify the source of the next behavior and then refine predictions at the app‑action level, thereby modeling cross‑source dependencies and fine‑grained dynamics. Experiments on large real‑world mobile datasets show that CM‑PTM captures users’ endogenous interests and improves performance on downstream mobile game recommendation tasks.
MISApp is a profile‑free framework that predicts the next mobile app a user will launch by learning multi‑hop session graphs. It captures transition dependencies across different structural ranges, incorporates temporal context and spatial categorization, and models intent evolution from recent interactions. Experiments on two real‑world datasets show MISApp outperforms baselines in both standard and cold‑start settings while remaining efficient, and analyses reveal that multi‑hop relations provide higher‑order predictive signals and interpretable attention weights.
The study examines two behavioral inference tasks—session-level user identification and next-domain prediction—using large-scale anonymous web browsing traces. Classical and neural models are applied to user identification, while graph-based methods combined with Large Language Models (LLMs) are used for next-domain prediction. Results show that short browsing sessions are highly identifiable and future navigation is highly predictable, with LLM-derived semantic features offering only marginal improvements over structural and sequential models.

arXiv:2606. 14654v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sequential or time-stamped interaction logs provide objective records of digital application usage, yet their granularity and noise often obscure meaningful insights into people's work.
The paper introduces TAP-PER, a prefix‑based framework that learns compact user representations for large language model personalization. By encoding user preferences into lightweight prefix embeddings and incorporating temporal signals, TAP‑PER avoids the need for heavy per‑user adapters or prompt‑serialized histories. Experiments on six LaMP tasks show that TAP‑PER outperforms both prompt‑based and model‑based baselines while using far fewer per‑user parameters, enabling scalable personalization at large user scales.
