DeRes architecture improves CTR prediction with dual residual paths

Researchers have introduced DeRes, a novel architecture for Transformer-based CTR prediction models that decouples residual stability and adaptivity. This new design employs parallel identity and block attention residual paths, allowing for better preservation of early signals and more effective recall of long-range dependencies. DeRes demonstrates superior performance on large-scale datasets, outperforming existing models with minimal additional computational cost and offering a significantly steeper compute-AUC scaling law.

    DeRes: Decoupling Residual Stability and Adaptivity for Scalable CTR Prediction

    Transformer-based CTR models face a growing bottleneck at the residual connection: under Pre-Norm, early user-interest signals are diluted layer by layer; the identity skip cannot forget stale interests; and each layer sees only its immediate predecessor, losing long-range cross-…
