Generative Long-term User Interest Modeling for Click-Through Rate Prediction
The paper presents a new model called GenLI for improving click-through rate (CTR) prediction by modeling long-term user interests. It addresses limitations of existing methods by incorporating interaction information among user behaviors and reducing time complexity in behavior retrieval. The proposed framework enhances the diversity of user interests and balances accuracy with efficiency in CTR prediction.
- ▪GenLI consists of three modules: interest generation, behavior retrieval, and interest fusion.
- ▪The interest generation module creates multiple interest distributions that are target-independent.
- ▪The behavior retrieval module simplifies the selection of related behaviors to reduce time complexity.
