RECAP framework optimizes streaming user profiles for short-video recommendations

Researchers have developed RECAP, a framework designed to optimize streaming semantic user profiles for short-video recommendation systems. This closed-loop system uses LLM-based semantic updates and feedback from implicit user behavior to incrementally update user profiles within limited capacity. Experiments on Kuaishou data demonstrated improvements in recommendation metrics, and an online A/B test showed a statistically significant increase in average application usage time per user. AI

IMPACT Enhances recommendation system performance by improving user profile generation and feedback loops.

    RECAP: Feedback-Driven Streaming Semantic User Profiles for Short-Video Recommendation

    Language-based user profiles convert long behavioral histories into explicit semantic representations for recommendation. However, most profile generators are optimized in an open loop: they may summarize past behavior fluently, but are not directly trained to improve future reco…
