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.

arXiv:2607. 04281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semantic caching reduces the latency and cost of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) by serving cached answers to semantically similar queries, but most existing methods do not model the time-varying freshness of open-web evidence.

The paper proposes an incremental recommendation system that uses causal modeling to avoid delivering redundant recommendations. By leveraging existing holdback data and a dual‑threshold targeting policy, the authors reduce recommendation impressions by 7% without harming overall content consumption. Joint training with holdback data also improves the calibration of the treated model, suggesting better generalisable representations than purely observational models.

FairDiff is a new fairness‑aware diffusion framework designed to mitigate the self‑reinforcing Matthew Effect in Diffusion Recommender Models (DRMs). It introduces Popularity Condition Guidance (PCG) to reweight inference‑time gradients and penalize high‑popularity items, and a Semantic Calibration (SC) module that aligns forward and reverse distributions via optimal transport. Experiments show FairDiff achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance while reducing popularity bias in DRMs.

The paper proposes an incremental recommendation approach that uses a causal model built from existing holdback data to avoid delivering redundant recommendations. By applying a dual‑threshold targeting policy, the system only recommends content when the likelihood of a treated stream is high and the likelihood of an organic stream is low, thereby reducing recommendation impressions by 7% without hurting overall consumption. Joint training with holdback data also improves the calibration of the treated head, suggesting that causal models capture more generalisable representations than purely observational models.
