HiRank Unifies Sequence Modeling and Feature Interaction via Effective-Rank Scaling for Multi-Scenario Recommendation

_reachsumit · x · 2026-10-28

Addressing how industrial ranking models must jointly capture heterogeneous feature interactions, long-term user behaviors, and multi-scenario dependencies under strict serving constraints, the paper proposes HiRank, a unified framework for multi-scenario recommendation.

HiRank integrates gated sequential attention with heterogeneous feature interaction in one backbone, enabling bidirectional fusion between sequential and non-sequential representations, and uses scenario-aware aggregation to compress low-order tokens into compact representations transformed by per-scenario projections into composite tokens for more effective high-order self-attention.
