Notification dispatch plays a critical role in large-scale user engagement, involving complex trade-offs across notification timing, presentation style, multiple outcomes, and constraints. In this paper, we formulate it as a constrained optimization over bundle treatments that jointly specify timing…
The watch time is a significant indicator of user satisfaction in video recommender systems. However, the prediction of watch time as a target variable is often hindered by its highly imbalanced distribution with a scarcity of observations for larger target values and over-populated samples for smal…
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in utilizing reinforcement learning (RL) to optimize long-term rewards in recommender systems. Since industrial recommender systems are typically designed as multi-stage systems, RL methods with a single agent face challenges when optimizing multipl…
