• Authors: Walid Bendada and Guillaume Salha and Th\'eo Bontempelli
• Abstract summary: We model carousel personalization as a contextual multi-armed bandit problem with multiple plays, cascade-based updates and delayed batch feedback. We empirically show the effectiveness of our framework at capturing characteristics of real-world carousels by addressing a large-scale playlist recommendation task on a global music streaming mobile app.

• Abstract: Media services providers, such as music streaming platforms, frequently leverage swipeable carousels to recommend personalized content to their users. However, selecting the most relevant items (albums, artists, playlists...) to display in these carousels is a challenging task, as items are numerous and as users have different preferences. In this paper, we model carousel personalization as a contextual multi-armed bandit problem with multiple plays, cascade-based updates and delayed batch feedback. We empirically show the effectiveness of our framework at capturing characteristics of real-world carousels by addressing a large-scale playlist recommendation task on a global music streaming mobile app. Along with this paper, we publicly release industrial data from our experiments, as well as an open-source environment to simulate comparable carousel personalization learning problems.

  E-commerce platforms have a vast catalog of items to cater to their customers' shopping interests. Many models have been proposed in academic literature to generate and enhance the ranking and recall set of items in these carousels. This work proposes a novel approach to customize the header generation process of these carousels.

  Generating video background that tailors to foreground subject motion is an important problem for the movie industry and visual effects community. This task involves background that aligns with the motion and appearance of the foreground subject, while also complies with the artist's creative intention. We introduce ActAnywhere, a generative model that automates this process which traditionally requires tedious manual efforts.

Finding efficient strategies to select which carousels to display is an active research topic of great industrial interest. We propose an offline evaluation protocol for a carousel setting in which the recommendation quality of a model is measured by how much it improves upon that of an already available set of carousels.
