AIGP: An LLM-Based Framework for Long-Term Value Alignment in E-Commerce Pricing

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.

ZooWork-ShopRanker: An Open, Preference-Aligned E-Commerce Reranker

ZooWork-ShopRanker is a family of open e‑commerce rerankers (0.6B, 4B, and 8B) that align with human shopping preferences by using large language models as preference oracles to generate training pairs. The flagship 8B model serves as a teacher for the smaller 4B and 0.6B models, which are further refined on judged pairs. A new benchmark, ShopRank‑Bench, contains ~10,000 private‑traffic preference pairs and shows that all ZooWork models outperform the strongest open reranker baseline and their own un‑aligned versions.

DCEO: Direct Causal Effect Optimization for Long-Term User Value Modeling in E-commerce Search

The paper introduces DCEO, a data‑driven framework that learns item‑level proxy scores directly aligned with long‑term user objectives in e‑commerce search. It aggregates these scores into a user‑level metric, measures alignment via relative causal effect, and uses an actor‑critic model to generate context‑dependent fusion weights for multiple objectives. Offline experiments and a 41‑day online A/B test show DCEO improves GMV by 0.36% over traditional proxies.
