Search, ads, recommendation, and LLM applications¶
This domain covers industrial recommendation, search, advertising, and their applications with LLMs. New industrial papers need quantified online A/B evidence or full-traffic or production deployment evidence explicitly accepted by the user. Classic baselines are included only as named exceptions.

Moderation and risk control currently focus on relevance, training-data quality, privacy-constrained features, and policy constraints. This does not imply coverage of content safety, fraud detection, or advertising compliance. New work in these areas still requires real production evidence and should also report precision/recall, false positives, and business guardrails.
