Generative Long-term User Interest Modeling for CTR Prediction

other · 2026-05-18

A new study proposes a generative approach to model long-term user interests for click-through rate prediction, addressing limitations in current two-stage frameworks. The proposed method, GenLI, uses a generative retrieval mechanism to capture latent user interests beyond target-centered behaviors, improving efficiency and accuracy in advertising and recommendation systems.

Key facts

  • arXiv:2605.15905
  • Modeling long-term user interests enhances CTR prediction
  • Two-stage framework: GSU and ESU
  • Target-centered GSU ignores latent user interests
  • Matching-based retrieval is time-consuming and overlooks interaction information
  • Proposed method: Generative Long-term user Interest (GenLI)
  • Generative retrieval mechanism captures latent interests
  • Improves efficiency and accuracy
