Scaling Articulated Rationales for MLLM-based Recommendation

The paper introduces SARA, an industrial framework that scales articulated user rationales (AURs) for recommendation systems. It curates a high‑quality AUR dataset from 240 M users, trains a 7B‑parameter MLLM (SARA‑7B) to generate rationales for millions of authors, and integrates these generated rationales into a production ranking model (SARA‑Ranker). Offline and online experiments demonstrate that the system produces more specific, polarity‑consistent rationales and improves user engagement while reducing negative feedback.

Re2A: Situated Conversational Recommendation via Rubric-based Preference Reasoning and Alignment

Re2A is a new framework for situated conversational recommendation that models user interactions within shared physical environments. It introduces rubric-based preference reasoning to explicitly capture user preferences from dialogue history and scene context, and a preference-conditioned optimization to align generated responses with both user satisfaction and situational consistency. Experiments on two SCR datasets show that Re2A outperforms existing methods, providing more precise and context-aware recommendations.

Multi-Objective Ranking for Live-Streaming: Balancing Fresh and Delayed Signals with Segment-Aware Targeting

arXiv:2608. 04455v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: One of the most challenging problems entertainment live-streaming services face in recommendation systems is that user behaviors are sparse and delayed, and interaction data exhibits bias for different user segments.
