AgenticGen: Reward-Guided Agentic Video Generation for Advertising

AgenticGen is a reward‑guided framework for generating advertising videos that splits the task into strategy selection and draft generation, allowing online business feedback to supervise each stage. It learns performance‑based rewards from accumulated online metrics and rubric‑based rewards aligned with human quality standards, then applies DPO and GRPO to refine policies. Offline tests confirm the reward models, and online A/B tests on TikTok show significant gains in CTR, CVR, and advertising value over a baseline.

RL-ADA: A World-Feedback Framework for Adversarially Robust Enterprise Dialogue Agents

RL-ADA introduces a co‑evolutionary training framework that replaces costly human annotations with world‑feedback rewards derived from interaction outcomes. In this system, a large Customer Support Agent and an Adversarial Customer Agent train together, guided by an automated judge that rewards successful resolution and realistic intent‑concealing utterances, respectively. Applied to a banking support proof of concept, the method eliminates routing errors and doubles the end‑to‑end PASS rate over five cycles, while also revealing a new adversarial strategy called Contextual Camouflage.

Self-Evolving Recommendation System: End-To-End Autonomous Model Optimization With LLM Agents

arXiv:2602. 10226v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Optimizing large-scale machine learning systems, such as recommendation models for global video platforms, requires navigating a massive hyperparameter search space and, more critically, designing sophisticated optimizers, architectures, and reward functions to capture nuanced user behaviors.

The Lifecycle of LLM-as-a-Judge for Large-Scale Recommendation Explanations

The paper introduces a lifecycle framework for LLM-as-a-Judge systems used to evaluate recommendation explanations at Netflix. It outlines four phases—Birth, Training, Deployment, and Monitoring—detailing how each stage addresses specific technical and operational challenges. The authors report that after five weeks of A/B testing, judge-aligned explanations increased novel content viewing and successful browse-to-play sessions without quality takedowns.

UniPolicy: Unified Objective-Specific Policies for Generative Search Advertising

UniPolicy is a multi-policy alignment framework for search advertising that jointly optimizes relevance, click propensity, and commercial value. It uses objective-specific prefix tokens, sparse MoE-LoRA routing, and residual FFNs to decouple parameters within a shared backbone, and builds pairwise preferences from multi-stage behavioral feedback to improve generation. In large-scale offline tests and a 7‑day online A/B test, UniPolicy achieved balanced gains across metrics, boosting CTR by 0.71%, RPS by 1.58%, and revenue by 1.32% while keeping latency stable.

Sell More, Play Less: Benchmarking LLM Realistic Selling Skill

The paper introduces SalesLLM, a bilingual (Chinese/English) benchmark for evaluating large language models (LLMs) in realistic sales dialogues. It comprises 30,074 scripted configurations and 1,805 curated multi‑turn scenarios from Financial Services and Consumer Goods, with controllable difficulty and personas. An automatic evaluation pipeline uses an LLM judge for sales‑process progress and fine‑tuned BERT classifiers for end‑of‑dialogue buying intent, while a user model, CustomerLM, is trained to improve simulation fidelity. SalesLLM scores correlate strongly with human ratings (Pearson r = 0.86) and reveal that top Chinese LLMs match junior‑to‑intermediate human salespeople but not experts, with cross‑lingual consistency remaining poor.
