Large representation models (e.g., VLM2Vec) demonstrate strong multimodal understanding capabilities, yet they struggle with fine-grained semantic comprehension, which is essential for distinguishing hi...

The pre-ranking stage in industrial recommendation systems faces a fundamental conflict between efficiency and effectiveness. While powerful models like Target Attention (TA) excel at capturing complex feature interactions in the ranking stage, their high computational cost makes them infeasible...

Click-Through Rate (CTR) prediction has long been dominated by discriminative paradigms that optimize local decision boundaries within candidate-specific subspaces. However, these models often fail to capture the global joint distribution and the continuous structural evolution of user intent acr...
