New research tackles ultra-long sequence modeling for recommendation systems

Two new research papers address the challenge of modeling ultra-long user behavior sequences in recommendation systems. The first paper, SequenceO1, introduces an end-to-end framework deployed at Douyin that uses Sketch Attention and Stacked Target-to-History Cross Attention to compress and reason over histories up to 100,000 interactions. The second paper proposes a two-stage framework that closes the long-short view performance gap without relying on cached histories, by modifying scoring mechanisms and fine-tuning specific components. AI

IMPACT These methods aim to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of recommendation systems by enabling them to process and learn from much longer user interaction histories.

    Closing the Long-Short View Gap in Sequential Recommendation without Cached History

    Sequential recommenders are typically trained on long user histories to capture rich behavioral signals, yet serving with training-length sequences is often impractical due to real-time efficiency constraints. Directly using only recent behaviors leads to a severe performance dro…
