arXiv:2606. 16183v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop an LLM-powered virtual population model that simulates demand for pricing decisions, in settings where products are described by rich unstructured information, such as text descriptions and images, and where decision makers need not only mean-demand predictions but also uncertainty estimates for counterfactual prices.

arXiv:2606. 17698v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM-based shopping agents enter production, existing benchmarks fail to capture how a shopper's requirements arrive: stated implicitly in the query, recorded in a profile, or revealed only when the right question is asked.

The paper presents a two‑stage large language model pipeline for e‑commerce attribute extraction. First, it discovers a compact, ranked set of purchase‑discriminative attributes for each product category; second, it extracts those attribute values from catalog text using a fine‑tuned Qwen3‑4B model with Hyper‑Parallel Decoding. The approach attains 85% extraction accuracy while cutting inference costs by 92%, enabling scalable production use and producing consistent, comparable product knowledge bases.

arXiv:2606. 26787v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditional dynamic pricing models in large-scale e-commerce suffer from limited interpretability, poor utilization of unstructured information, and misalignment with long-term business objectives such as cumulative Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), Return on Investment (ROI) and milestone achievement.

arXiv:2608. 14068v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conversational recommendation for e-commerce is increasingly mediated by large language models (LLMs), yet many real-world deployments operate under a stricter requirement: recommendations must be drawn only from a merchant's fixed catalog, without web search or unsupported product claims.

The paper proposes a single hierarchical Semantic ID (SID) system to unify product identification across multiple merchants in e-commerce. By learning SID representations from product content, the authors demonstrate that ranking algorithms can aggregate consumer affinity and product performance over SID prefixes, improving offline relevance and online engagement. For query reformulation, SID concepts guide navigation and refinement, yielding better intent preservation and higher-quality suggestions compared to taxonomy or raw query transitions.

The paper introduces a production‑grade large language model (LLM) pricing system for the tourism industry that separates structured extraction and policy selection from deterministic numeric pricing. Policies are compiled into interpretable condition trees, allowing new clauses and evolving rules to be added without code changes while maintaining auditability. Deployed across 12 business categories and 1,500 operators, the system handled 3,960 orders in six months, cutting the order‑management team from 15‑20 to 3 and reducing per‑order handling time from 10 minutes to under 2 minutes.
