The paper introduces OptIDC, a unified framework for optimizing input-side dimensional configuration in deep click‑through rate (CTR) prediction models. OptIDC jointly learns sample, feature, and embedding‑unit selections and employs a selection‑weighted Optimal Transport mechanism to coordinate decisions across levels, reducing conflicts while preserving semantics. Experiments on four real‑world datasets show that OptIDC consistently outperforms existing input‑side selection methods in terms of AUC.

The paper introduces Local Adaptive Probability Estimation (LAPE), a post‑hoc residual calibration framework that refines global calibrator outputs using non‑parametric local evidence from neighboring samples in feature space. LAPE serves as a plug‑and‑play module that leverages feature‑space geometry and reuses calibration data, improving calibration quality for various baselines. The authors also extend the approach to multi‑view inputs with Cascade Feature Augmentation Fusion (CFAF) and demonstrate its effectiveness through extensive experiments.
