OrDA: Orthogonal Disentanglement of Access Habits Framework for Homepage Marketing Block Recommendations

Lingxiao Zhang, Xiaobo Li, Tao Xu

Clicks on homepage marketing blocks are driven by a dual-mechanism of content interest and access habits. However, habitual clicks often create Pseudo-Positives in marketing slots, where position advantage masks mediocre content quality, leading to biased recommendation ecosystems. We propose a framework called Orthogonal Disentanglement of Access habits (OrDA) to purify interest signals. OrDA utilizes a dual-tower structure with a gated allocation layer to adaptively route features and minimize interference. To ensure rigorous separation, we employ orthogonal regularization to constrain the latent interest and habit manifolds to be geometrically perpendicular. OrDA performs causal intervention (do-calculus) during inference to rank items solely by purified interest scores. Empirical online evaluations on large-scale datasets demonstrate that OrDA effectively eliminates access-habit bias, outperforming state-of-the-art methods in predictive accuracy. Online AB test 5.64% shows user click-through rates (UCTR) improvement on the Zhima homepage marketing block, Zhima rent-floor recommendation.

Transcript-Managed Transformers: Monotone Multi-Agent Collapse and Universality with Two Pop-Enabled Transcripts

Sergey Salishev

We study transcript management for fixed, finite-precision causal Transformers. A transcript is partitioned into channels of bounded blocks. Each transition consults a fixed visible suffix and may append one block, leaving the model, weights, and token protocol unchanged. The ope…

Frugal Bayesian Optimization: Scalable Surrogates for Data- and Resource-Limited Discovery

Panagiotis Krokidas, Christoforos Rekatsinas, Vassilis Sioros, Grigorios M. Chatziathanasiou, Efi-Maria Papia, George Giannakopoulos

Bayesian Optimization (BO) is widely adopted for data-efficient optimization in scientific and engineering applications, yet its computational cost is rarely evaluated alongside optimization performance. Here we present a systematic, compute-aware study of BO that evaluates surro…

Filter Learning for Subgraphs: Algebras and Performance Risk Bounds

Purui Zhang, Feng Ji, Yanan Zhao, Bihan Wen, Wee Peng Tay

Graph signal processing tasks that leverage spectral information typically assume access to the complete graph topology, which is often unavailable in practice. We propose a systematic framework for subgraph filter learning (SFL), where subgraph-supported operators approximate am…
