ECHO framework improves recommendation efficiency for long user sequences

Researchers have developed ECHO, a new framework designed to efficiently model long user behavior sequences for recommendation systems. ECHO uses a Distilled Selector to retain relevant event records and a Target-aware Fine-grained Retriever to identify target-relevant data, significantly reducing computational costs compared to end-to-end models. This approach, tested on datasets like KuaiRand-1K and an industrial short-video platform, demonstrated improvements in recommendation accuracy and online A/B testing showed an increase in app usage time.

    ECHO: Efficient Cascade with Homogeneous Operators for Distillation-Guided 100K-Sequence Modeling

    Modeling lifetime user behavior sequences is essential for capturing long-range preferences in industrial recommendation, yet 100K-length user sequences make target-aware ranking prohibitively expensive. Search-based methods that retrieve from raw sequences incur candidate-depend…
