Taobao Search deploys Prompt Generation framework for generative retrieval

A new framework called Prompt Generation (PG) has been introduced to decouple feature processing from model architecture in generative retrieval systems. This approach uses declarative JSON files as a single source of truth for both offline training and online serving, aiming to speed up iteration and deployment. PG has been implemented on Taobao Search, resulting in measurable online improvements in transaction count and gross merchandise volume, and is being adopted by other teams within Taobao for generative retrieval. AI

IMPACT Decouples feature engineering from model architecture, potentially accelerating development and deployment cycles for generative retrieval systems.
