• Abstract summary: We present our 2nd place solution to ACM RecSys 2021 Challenge organized by Twitter. The challenge aims to predict user engagement for a set of tweets, offering an exceptionally large data set of 1 billion data points. Average inference time for single tweet engagement prediction is limited to 6ms on a single CPU core with 64GB memory.

• Abstract: In this paper we present our 2nd place solution to ACM RecSys 2021 Challenge organized by Twitter. The challenge aims to predict user engagement for a set of tweets, offering an exceptionally large data set of 1 billion data points sampled from over four weeks of real Twitter interactions. Each data point contains multiple sources of information, such as tweet text along with engagement features, user features, and tweet features. The challenge brings the problem close to a real production environment by introducing strict latency constraints in the model evaluation phase: the average inference time for single tweet engagement prediction is limited to 6ms on a single CPU core with 64GB memory. Our proposed model relies on extensive feature engineering performed with methods such as the Efficient Manifold Density Estimator (EMDE) - our previously introduced algorithm based on Locality Sensitive Hashing method, and novel Fourier Feature Encoding, among others. In total, we create numerous features describing a user's Twitter account status and the content of a tweet. In order to adhere to the strict latency constraints, the underlying model is a simple residual feed-forward neural network. The system is a variation of our previous methods which proved successful in KDD Cup 2021, WSDM Challenge 2021, and SIGIR eCom Challenge 2020.

We also found that factors such as the prediction algorithm, training dataset size, training dataset sampling method, and feature selection significantly affect the results.
