Dual-Stream MLP is All You Need for CTR Prediction
Researchers have introduced Dual-Stream MLP (DS-MLP), a new framework designed to improve click-through rate (CTR) prediction in advertising and recommendation systems. This approach uses knowledge distillation to integrate explicit feature interactions into a main MLP while a parallel MLP captures implicit interactions. DS-MLP aims to reduce computational complexity and overfitting risks associated with existing dual-stream architectures. Experiments show DS-MLP achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmarks, offering an efficient solution for large-scale systems. AI
