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

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

Robust Federated Learning Under Real-World Client Churn

arXiv:2607. 06979v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated Learning (FL) enables training shared models on private, on-device data, but production deployments remain constrained to slow, multi-day refresh cycles due to the complexity of coordinating massive client populations.

Live Assistant: Learning Whether, When, and Whom to Assist in Real-World Live Social Streams

arXiv:2609. 27303v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Livestreams are long-lasting interactive environments where audiovisual content, viewer activity, host behavior, and platform signals evolve together, creating assistance needs that emerge from the stream itself.

Safety as a Constraint: Fine-Tuning a LLM Recommender to Explain Itself

The paper presents a method for fine‑tuning a large language model (LLM) recommender to generate personalized, non‑harmful explanations for its recommendations. By training two LLM‑judge reward models and using constrained GRPO, the authors achieve a significant increase in the PASS rate for all three criteria, from 0.649 to 0.956 on their own judges and from 0.677 to 0.931 on an independent judge. The fine‑tuned model maintains its original recommendation performance, demonstrating that LLM‑based recommenders can be adapted to complex tasks without loss of effectiveness.
