| contents | In large-scale ranking systems, cascading architectures have been widely adopted to achieve a balance between efficiency and effectiveness. The pre-ranking module plays a vital role in selecting a subset of candidates for the subsequent ranking module. It is crucial for the pre-ranking model to maintain a balance between efficiency and accuracy to adhere to online latency constraints. In this paper, we propose a novel neural network architecture called RankTower, which is designed to efficiently capture user-item interactions while following the user-item decoupling paradigm to ensure online inference efficiency. The proposed approach employs a hybrid training objective that learns from samples obtained from the full stage of the cascade ranking system, optimizing different objectives for varying sample spaces. This strategy aims to enhance the pre-ranking model's ranking capability and improvement alignment with the existing cascade ranking system. Experimental results conducted on public datasets demonstrate that RankTower significantly outperforms state-of-the-art pre-ranking models. |
