SAGA: Structure-Attended Generative Action Embedding Model that encodes Multi-Surface User Action Sequences

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2608. 15429v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Prior embedding models for sequential recommendation typically operate within a homogeneous action space, limiting their ability to capture cross-surface behavioral signals spanning distinct behavioral domains.

From Feature Interaction to Feature Transport - A Unified Block for Scalable Recommendation Models

The paper introduces CRAFT, a Contextual Residual Adaptive Feature Transport block that treats unified recommendation models as a discrete context‑conditioned representation evolution process. By summarizing non‑sequential features into a reliability‑aware contextual field, CRAFT generates residual displacement and memory‑preserving signals to control intent and sequence representations. Experiments on the TAAC2026 competition show CRAFT achieving a test AUC of 0.838090, surpassing the previous best, and further improvements with deeper or wider models.
