Researchers have developed Hierarchical Sparse Activation Compression (HiSAC), a new framework designed to make ultra-long sequence modeling feasible for recommender systems. HiSAC addresses limitations in existing methods by encoding interactions into multi-level semantic IDs and using a hierarchical voting mechanism to activate personalized interest-agents. This approach allows for fine-grained preference centers and uses Soft-Routing Attention to aggregate historical signals efficiently, minimizing quantization errors and preserving long-tail preferences. When deployed on Taobao's "Guess What You Like" feature, HiSAC demonstrated significant compression and cost reduction, leading to a 1.65% increase in click-through rate. AI
