Core Innovation

This paper presents GR4AD, which innovates with UA-SID tokenization to capture complex ad semantics, LazyAR decoder to reduce inference cost, and value-aware supervised learning combined with ranking-guided reinforcement learning for business-aligned optimization. It also introduces dynamic beam serving to adapt compute during online inference, enabling scalable, effective generative recommendation in production.

Why It Matters

Advertising platforms face challenges in scaling real-time recommendation with high efficiency and business value alignment. GR4AD improves ad revenue by optimizing generation and serving under fixed compute budgets, enabling continual online updates and dynamic inference scaling. This transforms large-scale ad delivery workflows by balancing performance and cost at massive scale.
