New HEGM model improves watch-time prediction for short-video recommendations

Researchers have developed a Hierarchical Exponential-Gaussian Mixture (HEGM) model to improve watch-time prediction for short-video recommendations. This new model addresses limitations found in the previous Exponential-Gaussian Mixture Network (EGMN), such as variance collapse and inactive components. HEGM enhances ranking accuracy and threshold-event prediction, while also improving mixture stability and interpretability, as confirmed by a production A/B test showing statistically significant engagement lifts.

    Hierarchical Exponential-Gaussian Mixtures for Watch-Time Distribution Prediction

    Accurate watch-time (WT) prediction is an important requirement for short-video recommendations. Yet WT distributions are near-zero-inflated, long-tailed and multimodal. The recent Exponential-Gaussian Mixture Network (EGMN) models the full conditional WT distribution rather than…
