New LENS system enhances sequential CTR prediction models

Researchers have introduced LENS, a novel two-module system designed to enhance sequential click-through rate (CTR) prediction models. LENS aims to improve target-specific control within latent-query architectures, which can sometimes dilute this specificity. The system comprises a Target-Conditioned Query Gate (TCQG) for query activation and a Target-Conditioned Position Bias (TCPB) for history retrieval. When combined with a Query-Specific Position Bias (QueryPos), LENS demonstrated positive gains across various latent-query backbones and datasets, suggesting its effectiveness in improving CTR prediction accuracy.

    LENS: A Staged Design for Interaction Granularityin Sequential CTR Prediction

    In sequential CTR prediction, a central design question is at what granularity the target should interact with the user behaviour sequence. Existing models mainly follow two routes. Raw-item architectures such as DIN let the target score each item in the sequence directly. This r…
