Clothing retrieval is a challenging problem in computer vision. With the advance of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), the accuracy of clothing retrieval has been significantly improved. FashionNet[1], a recent study, proposes to employ…
Re-ranking models refine item recommendation lists generated by the prior global ranking model, which have demonstrated their effectiveness in improving the recommendation quality. However, most existing re-ranking solutions only learn from…
Precise user modeling is critical for online personalized recommendation services. Generally, users' interests are diverse and are not limited to a single aspect, which is particularly evident when their behaviors are observed for a longer…
Training Learning-to-Rank models for e-commerce product search ranking can be challenging due to the lack of a gold standard of ranking relevance. In this paper, we decompose ranking relevance into content-based and engagement-based…
Learning low-dimensional representation for large number of products present in an e-commerce catalogue plays a vital role as they are helpful in tasks like product ranking, product recommendation, finding similar products, modelling…
While the Self-Attention mechanism in the Transformer model has proven to be effective in many domains, we observe that it is less effective in more diverse settings (e.g. multimodality) due to the varying granularity of each token and the…
The prediction of human gaze behavior is important for building human-computer interactive systems that can anticipate a user's attention. Computer vision models have been developed to predict the fixations made by people as they search for…
Most existing recommender systems represent a user's preference with a feature vector, which is assumed to be fixed when predicting this user's preferences for different items. However, the same vector cannot accurately capture a user's…
User behavior modeling lies at the heart of personalized applications like recommender systems. With LLM-based agents, user preference representation has evolved from latent embeddings to semantic memory. While existing memory mechanisms…
Relevance modeling between queries and items stands as a pivotal component in commercial search engines, directly affecting the user experience. Given the remarkable achievements of large language models (LLMs) in various natural language…
We consider the problem of segmenting a large population of customers into non-overlapping groups with similar preferences, using diverse preference observations such as purchases, ratings, clicks, etc. over subsets of items. We focus on…
With the rapid growth of e-Commerce, online product search has emerged as a popular and effective paradigm for customers to find desired products and engage in online shopping. However, there is still a big gap between the products that…
Computational human attention modeling in free-viewing and task-specific settings is often studied separately, with limited exploration of whether a common representation exists between them. This work investigates this question and…
Recommender systems are critical tools to match listings and travelers in two-sided vacation rental marketplaces. Such systems require high capacity to extract user preferences for items from implicit signals at scale. To learn those…
Personalized Point of Interest recommendation is very helpful for satisfying users' needs at new places. In this article, we propose a tag embedding based method for Personalized Recommendation of Point Of Interest. We model the…
Recently, transformer-based generative recommendation has garnered significant attention for user behavior modeling. However, it often requires discretizing items into multi-code representations (e.g., typically four code tokens or more),…
Text--image retrieval is necessary for applications such as product recommendation. Embedding-based approaches like CLIP enable efficient large-scale retrieval via vector similarity search, but they are primarily trained on literal…
Effective user representations are pivotal in personalized advertising. However, stringent constraints on training throughput, serving latency, and memory, often limit the complexity and input feature set of online ads ranking models. This…
In modern e-commerce search systems, dense retrieval has become an indispensable component. By computing similarities between query and item (product) embeddings, it efficiently selects candidate products from large-scale repositories. With…
Modern search systems rely on a fast first stage retriever to fetch relevant items from a massive catalog of items. Deployed search systems often use user engagement signals to supervise bi-encoder retriever training at scale, because these…
