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.

arXiv:2607. 06979v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) enables training shared models on private, on-device data, but production deployments remain constrained to slow, multi-day refresh cycles due to the complexity of coordinating massive client populations.

arXiv:2607. 26832v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Algorithmic news personalization in regional markets often fails because modern deep learning models require massive interaction data while real-world news has a short Time-to-Live (TTL < 48 h) and shallow article pools.

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.

arXiv:2607. 15242v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A common bottleneck in two-stage recommendation is embedding staleness: when a user rates a new item, their embedding remains fixed until the next retrain cycle.

The paper studies candidate generation for alternative vacation rental recommendations, comparing collaborative filtering, shallow embeddings, and graph neural network (GNN) methods on a platform with over 2 million active properties. A hybrid model that combines item-based collaborative filtering with GNN-based retrieval achieves a 14.8% higher Recall@300 than the best baseline, leveraging each method’s strengths: collaborative filtering for well-interacted properties and GNNs for diverse, cold-start alternatives. The authors also show that stronger candidate pools improve downstream ranking quality, though the exact impact is intertwined with ranker training.
