UniDot: A Unified Network for Sequence Modeling and Feature Interaction in Large-scale Recommendation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2608. 16797v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Industrial recommenders rely on two model families that have evolved largely independently: feature-interaction models over multi-field user/item features, and sequential models over user-behavior histories.

WHALE: A Scalable Unified Model for Recommendation with Wukong-HSTU Architecture

arXiv:2607. 17017v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As scalability becomes increasingly important in recommendation modeling, recent architectures have advanced the modeling of two broad sources of ranking signals along separate paths: non-sequence features, including user, item, context, and cross features; and sequence features from user behavior histories.

SlimPer: Make Personalization Model Slim and Smart

arXiv:2607. 12281v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-style architectures are increasingly adopted for industrial recommendation systems, yet they inherit a design premise misaligned with the task: generative models rely on per-token autoregressive prediction, which justifies maintaining large intermediate tensors that scale with sequence length.

TokenMinds: Pretrained User Tokens and Embeddings for User Understanding in Large Recommender Systems

arXiv:2606. 25147v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: User modeling in industrial recommender systems typically produces dense embeddings, which suffer from representational constraints inherent to fixed-dimensional vectors.

SlimPer: Make Personalization Model Slim and Smart

Transformer-style architectures are increasingly adopted for industrial recommendation systems, yet they inherit a design premise misaligned with the task: generative models rely on per-token autoregressive prediction, which justifies maintaining large intermediate tensors that scale with sequence length. In contrast, recommendation systems produce a single set of relevance scores for each pair without token-level supervision.
