Traditional search systems are optimized to retrieve items that strictly match a query, often prioritizing precision over recall. In e-commerce marketplaces and particularly grocery, this paradigm is limiting, as user satisfaction and commercial outcomes depend heavily on the discoverability of substitute, complementary, and thematically related items.
arXiv:2607. 23121v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamic Product Ads (DPA) require retrieving relevant items from multi-million product catalogs, balancing two competing objectives: retargeting (re-surfacing known interests) and prospecting (discovering new categories).

RPTune is an end‑to‑end framework that improves in‑context catalog search for small merchant businesses by learning to curate product catalogs and fine‑tuning large language models (LLMs) with catalog‑grounded supervision. It uses an encoder‑reorganizer curator to order and prune products based on LLM feedback, and then applies context‑relative rewards during LLM post‑training. Across seven real merchants and 100 complex conversational queries per merchant, RPTune boosts search accuracy by up to 31.4 percentage points from curation alone and an additional 10.3 points on average from post‑training.
