用生成式框架理解用户上下文,提升外卖平台广告排序效果
GCRank: A Generative Contextual Comprehension Paradigm for Takeout Ranking Model
- 将排序任务重构为上下文理解问题,统一建模用户、群体和实时情境
- 在真实外卖平台测试中,点击率与平台收入显著提升
- 适合工业级推荐系统优化,尤其对时空动态场景有强适配性
排序阶段是广告系统的核心优化与资源分配枢纽,通过eCPM控制经济价值分配,并协调有机内容与广告的用户导向融合。现有排序模型多依赖零散模块与人工特征,难以解析复杂用户意图,这一问题在基于位置的服务(如外卖)中尤为突出,因用户决策受空间、时间及个体上下文的动态影响。为此,我们提出一种新型生成式框架,将排序重构为上下文理解任务,在统一架构中建模异构信号。该架构包含两大核心组件:生成式上下文编码器(GCE)与生成式上下文融合(GCF)。GCE由三个专用模块构成:个性化上下文增强器(PCE)用于用户级建模,集体上下文增强器(CCE)捕捉群体模式,动态上下文增强器(DCE)实现实时情境适应。GCF模块通过低秩适配无缝融合各类上下文表示。大量实验表明,该方法在关键业务指标上取得显著提升,包括点击率与平台收入。本方法已在大规模外卖广告平台成功部署,验证了其实际应用价值。该工作开创了生成式推荐的新视角,凸显其在工业广告系统中的实践潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The ranking stage serves as the central optimization and allocation hub in advertising systems, governing economic value distribution through eCPM and orchestrating the user-centric blending of organic and advertising content. Prevailing ranking models often rely on fragmented modules and hand-crafted features, limiting their ability to interpret complex user intent. This challenge is further amplified in location-based services such as food delivery, where user decisions are shaped by dynamic spatial, temporal, and individual contexts. To address these limitations, we propose a novel generative framework that reframes ranking as a context comprehension task, modeling heterogeneous signals in a unified architecture. Our architecture consists of two core components: the Generative Contextual Encoder (GCE) and the Generative Contextual Fusion (GCF). The GCE comprises three specialized modules: a Personalized Context Enhancer (PCE) for user-specific modeling, a Collective Context Enhancer (CCE) for group-level patterns, and a Dynamic Context Enhancer (DCE) for real-time situational adaptation. The GCF module then seamlessly integrates these contextual representations through low-rank adaptation. Extensive experiments confirm that our method achieves significant gains in critical business metrics, including click-through rate and platform revenue. We have successfully deployed our method on a large-scale food delivery advertising platform, demonstrating its substantial practical impact. This work pioneers a new perspective on generative recommendation and highlights its practical potential in industrial advertising systems.
