Scenario Shared Instance Modeling for Click-through Rate Prediction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Multi-scenario recommendation (MSR) is a popular training paradigm in industrial platforms for uniformly integrating information from multiple scenarios and serving them simultaneously. A key challenge in MSR research is accurately identifying the commonalities and distinctive information between scenarios. Currently, most existing MSR methods focus on implicitly extracting this information from the architectural level. However, this continues to increase the complexity and training overhead of MSR. Furthermore, the custom components responsible for extracting implicit information in each MSR method are too dependent on the specific MSR architecture and are not easily reused in other methods. Given these challenges, we first show in a motivating experiment that it may be beneficial to explicitly select a reasonable set of shared instances that can affect parameter optimization in all scenarios during the training of MSR, i.e., to explicitly obtain the critical information required for MSR from the data level. Then, this paper proposes SSIM with an adaptive selection network. Specifically, SSIM can be integrated with existing MSR methods in a lightweight way to adaptively select an informative and shareable subset of instances from each scenario to improve recommendations. In particular, the selected multi-scenario shared subset has extraordinary reusability and can be easily saved to benefit model training of various future MSR models. Finally, we evaluate SSIM and demonstrate its effectiveness through experiments on two public multi-scenario benchmarks and an online A/B test.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
