User Representation via Cross Multi-source Behavior Pre-training for Mobile Games

The paper introduces CM-PTM, a Cross Multi-source Behavior Pre-Training Model designed to learn mobile game user representations from device-level behavioral logs. It uses hierarchical cascaded mask‑then‑predict tasks to first identify the source of the next behavior and then refine predictions at the app‑action level, thereby modeling cross‑source dependencies and fine‑grained dynamics. Experiments on large real‑world mobile datasets show that CM‑PTM captures users’ endogenous interests and improves performance on downstream mobile game recommendation tasks.

MISApp: Multi-Hop Intent-Aware Session Graph Learning for Next App Prediction

MISApp is a profile‑free framework that predicts the next mobile app a user will launch by learning multi‑hop session graphs. It captures transition dependencies across different structural ranges, incorporates temporal context and spatial categorization, and models intent evolution from recent interactions. Experiments on two real‑world datasets show MISApp outperforms baselines in both standard and cold‑start settings while remaining efficient, and analyses reveal that multi‑hop relations provide higher‑order predictive signals and interpretable attention weights.

LUNAR: Benchmarking Personalized Large Language Models on UNiversal User BehAvioR Logs

arXiv:2608. 05246v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing personalized LLM benchmarks primarily rely on textual personas or isolated behavioral signals, providing limited evaluation of cross-domain behavioral personalization, where responses must be grounded in heterogeneous daily-life activities.
