Recommender Systems

I work on recommendation problems where user behavior, retrieval spaces, and deployment constraints change over time.

Signals, retrieval, and prediction

How can recommendation systems model returning users, retrieve efficiently, and remain reliable under industrial-scale constraints?

Scope

User reactivation, generative recommendation, dynamic retrieval, graph embedding, counterfactual watch-time prediction, and efficient CTR modeling form the main technical line.

User reactivation

Recalibrating recommendation when returning users have pre-gap history but no observed behavior during long inactivity gaps.

Generative recommendation

Representing long histories, structured intent, and preference-aware generation.

Dynamic retrieval

Efficient item retrieval and graph embedding under changing user and item behavior.

Trustworthy prediction and efficiency

Counterfactual watch-time prediction and efficient CTR modeling for deployment.
