ROCS: Request-Oriented Compute Sharing for Efficient Large-Scale Recommendation

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.27744v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern recommendation models gain prediction quality by scaling feature-interaction and sequence modules, but production cost constraints cap how far systems can scale. In this work, we propose Request-Oriented Compute Sharing (ROCS), a modeling and inference paradigm that exploits a unique property of recommendation inference: each user request is evaluated against many candidates, while request-side features are shared across candidates. ROCS defers request-candidate interactions as late as possible, isolates candidate-dependent representations, and evaluates substantial portions of the model once per request rather than once per candidate, significantly improving inference efficiency while maintaining or improving prediction quality.
