FORTE: A Production Framework for Feature Evaluation and Deprecation in Industrial Recommender Systems
FORTE is a model‑agnostic production framework that discovers, validates, and removes features from industrial recommender systems. It uses efficient perturbation and grouped ablation to evaluate candidate feature sets daily, and lineage tracing to identify all downstream models affected. In two large‑scale systems, FORTE removed up to 43.3% of features without online regressions, cutting trainable parameters by 29.9% and improving serving throughput by 19.8‑25.5%.

Safety as a Constraint: Fine-Tuning a LLM Recommender to Explain Itself
The paper presents a method for fine‑tuning a large language model (LLM) recommender to generate personalized, non‑harmful explanations for its recommendations. By training two LLM‑judge reward models and using constrained GRPO, the authors achieve a significant increase in the PASS rate for all three criteria, from 0.649 to 0.956 on their own judges and from 0.677 to 0.931 on an independent judge. The fine‑tuned model maintains its original recommendation performance, demonstrating that LLM‑based recommenders can be adapted to complex tasks without loss of effectiveness.
