The paper introduces DCRMTA, an end‑to‑end framework for deep causal representation learning in multi‑touch attribution (MTA). It addresses a flaw in existing deconfounding pipelines that discard user‑related causal signals by explicitly preserving the causal impact of user features. Using structural causal modeling and adaptive counterfactual attention, DCRMTA produces invariant user representations and achieves up to a 5.2% relative improvement in PR‑AUC on real industrial datasets, while offering robust Shapley‑based credit allocations across marketing channels.

The paper introduces a new privacy vulnerability in diffusion language models (DLMs) called token‑level memorization asymmetry, derived from theoretical analysis of diffusion training dynamics. It proposes Q‑Skew, a quantile‑weighted skewness indicator, to perform membership inference on fine‑tuned DLMs, outperforming existing baselines across multiple datasets and models. Additionally, Q‑Skew can be used to extract personally identifiable information (PII), demonstrating a broader privacy attack surface.

arXiv:2607. 20471v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personalization, the act of varying a message to induce action from a specific receiver while keeping sender, channel, and time fixed, has a long tradition in psychology and marketing as a two-party problem in which sender and receiver have independent objectives.
