通过逆序课程学习,增强推荐系统中稀疏转化信号的建模效果。

RCLRec: Reverse Curriculum Learning for Modeling Sparse Conversions in Generative Recommendation

  • 逆序选取用户历史中的关键行为序列作为前置提示,提供针对性监督。
  • 在离线数据和线上测试中分别提升2.09%广告收入和1.86%订单量。
  • 适合处理转化数据稀疏的生成式推荐场景,尤其适用于高价值转化任务。

大规模推荐系统中的转化目标具有稀疏性,难以优化。生成式推荐(GR)通过将多类型行为统一为共享表示的令牌序列缓解数据稀疏问题,但转化信号仍不足。现有行为感知的GR模型虽利用行为类型和注意力机制突出决策相关中间行为,但仍依赖完整历史的标准注意力,且未对转化提供额外监督,导致转化稀疏问题未解。为此,我们提出RCLRec,一种基于逆序课程学习的生成式推荐框架,用于稀疏转化监督。针对每个转化目标,RCLRec从历史中逆序选取相关行为子序列,将其语义令牌作为解码器前缀,与目标转化令牌联合生成。该设计提供实例级中间监督,缓解转化稀疏性,聚焦用户关键决策过程。我们进一步引入课程质量感知损失,确保所选课程对转化预测有信息量。离线数据集与线上A/B测试结果表明,RCLRec表现优异,在线上部署中实现广告收入+2.09%、订单量+1.86%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Conversion objectives in large-scale recommender systems are sparse, making them difficult to optimize. Generative recommendation (GR) partially alleviates data sparsity by organizing multi-type behaviors into a unified token sequence with shared representations, but conversion signals remain insufficiently modeled. While recent behavior-aware GR models encode behavior types and employ behavior-aware attention to highlight decision-related intermediate behaviors, they still rely on standard attention over the full history and provide no additional supervision for conversions, leaving conversion sparsity largely unresolved. To address these challenges, we propose RCLRec, a reverse curriculum learning-based GR framework for sparse conversion supervision. For each conversion target, RCLRec constructs a short curriculum by selecting a subsequence of conversion-related items from the history in reverse. Their semantic tokens are fed to the decoder as a prefix, together with the target conversion tokens, under a joint generation objective. This design provides additional instance-specific intermediate supervision, alleviating conversion sparsity and focusing the model on the user's critical decision process. We further introduce a curriculum quality-aware loss to ensure that the selected curricula are informative for conversion prediction. Experiments on offline datasets and an online A/B test show that RCLRec achieves superior performance, with +2.09% advertising revenue and +1.86% orders in online deployment.
