Discrete Diffusion Models (DDMs) have recently been introduced to recommendation systems, modeling user history as a token generation process via iterative denoising. However, while effective at captu...

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.
