用统一模型替代广告排序多阶段架构,提升效果与效率

EGA-V1: Unifying Online Advertising with End-to-End Learning

  • 构建端到端生成模型,统一广告排序流程
  • 在线测试显示性能优于现有分阶段系统
  • 适合大规模广告平台优化排序与收益

现代工业级广告系统普遍采用多阶段级联架构(MCA)以平衡计算效率与排序精度,但存在两大根本问题:(1) 各阶段优化目标不一致及能力差异导致性能波动;(2) 忽视广告外部性——候选广告间的复杂交互关系。这些问题最终影响系统效能并降低平台收益。本文提出EGA-V1,一种端到端生成架构,将基于位置服务(LBS)的完整候选广告池的最优广告序列生成统一为单个模型。该方法面临的主要挑战来自特征处理开销大、大规模候选池中外部性建模的计算瓶颈。EGA-V1通过算法与引擎协同设计的混合特征服务,解耦用户与广告特征处理,降低延迟同时保持表达能力。提出RecFormer,以创新的聚类注意力机制为核心,高效提取序列内与跨序列互信息。此外,采用双阶段训练策略,融合预训练与强化学习后训练,满足平台与广告的复杂目标。在公开基准上的离线评估及工业平台的大规模在线A/B测试均证明EGA-V1显著优于当前最先进的MCA系统。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Modern industrial advertising systems commonly employ Multi-stage Cascading Architectures (MCA) to balance computational efficiency with ranking accuracy. However, this approach presents two fundamental challenges: (1) performance inconsistencies arising from divergent optimization targets and capability differences between stages, and (2) failure to account for advertisement externalities - the complex interactions between candidate ads during ranking. These limitations ultimately compromise system effectiveness and reduce platform profitability. In this paper, we present EGA-V1, an end-to-end generative architecture that unifies online advertising ranking as one model. EGA-V1 replaces cascaded stages with a single model to directly generate optimal ad sequences from the full candidate ad corpus in location-based services (LBS). The primary challenges associated with this approach stem from high costs of feature processing and computational bottlenecks in modeling externalities of large-scale candidate pools. To address these challenges, EGA-V1 introduces an algorithm and engine co-designed hybrid feature service to decouple user and ad feature processing, reducing latency while preserving expressiveness. To efficiently extract intra- and cross-sequence mutual information, we propose RecFormer with an innovative cluster-attention mechanism as its core architectural component. Furthermore, we propose a bi-stage training strategy that integrates pre-training with reinforcement learning-based post-training to meet sophisticated platform and advertising objectives. Extensive offline evaluations on public benchmarks and large-scale online A/B testing on industrial advertising platform have demonstrated the superior performance of EGA-V1 over state-of-the-art MCAs.
