Towards Large-scale Generative Ranking

Generative recommendation has recently emerged as a promising paradigm in information retrieval. However, generative ranking systems are still understudied, particularly with respect to their effectiveness and feasibility in large-scale industrial settings. This paper investigates this topic at the ranking stage of Xiaohongshu's Explore Feed, a recommender system that serves hundreds of millions of users. Specifically, we first examine how generative ranking outperforms current industrial recommenders. Through theoretical and empirical analyses, we find that the primary improvement in effectiveness stems from the generative architecture, rather than the training paradigm. To facilitate efficient deployment of generative ranking, we introduce GenRank, a novel generative architecture for ranking. We validate the effectiveness and efficiency of our solution through online A/B experiments. The results show that GenRank achieves significant improvements in user satisfaction with nearly equivalent computational resources compared to the existing production system.

Active and Passive Hybrid Detection Method for Power CPS False Data Injection Attacks with Improved AKF and GRU-CNN

Influenced by deep penetration of the new generation of information technology, power systems have gradually evolved into highly coupled cyber-physical systems (CPS). Among many possible power CPS network attacks, a false data injection attacks (FDIAs) is the most serious. Taking account of the fact that the existing knowledge-driven detection process for FDIAs has been in a passive detection state for a long time and ignores the advantages of data-driven active capture of features, an active and passive hybrid detection method for power CPS FDIAs with improved adaptive Kalman filter (AKF) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) is proposed in this paper. First, we analyze the shortcomings of the traditional AKF algorithm in terms of filtering divergence and calculation speed. The state estimation algorithm based on non-negative positive-definite adaptive Kalman filter (NDAKF) is improved, and a passive detection method of FDIAs is constructed, with similarity Euclidean distance detection and residual detection at its core. Then, combined with the advantages of gate recurrent unit (GRU) and CNN in terms of temporal memory and feature-expression ability, an active detection method of FDIAs based on a GRU-CNN hybrid neural network is proposed. Finally, the results of joint knowledge-driven and data-driven parallel detection are used to define a mixed fixed-calculation formula, and an active and passive hybrid detection method of FDIAs is established, considering the characteristic constraints of the parallel mode. A simulation system example of power CPS FDIAs verifies the effectiveness and accuracy of the method proposed in this paper.
