Abstract

CTR (Click-Through-Rate) prediction is an important part of today's recommendation scenarios. Its purpose is to predict whether the user will click on the relevant item.The more mainstream research includes feature interaction and user history behavior interest modeling. However, in some current CTR feature interaction methods, only bit-wise or vector-wise feature interaction is used, or the two-tower approach is used to simply add the output of the two-tower structure at the prediction layer. These methods cannot more comprehensively represent the interaction between features, thus losing a lot of potential feature interaction information.In this paper we propose two novel method:1)Reweighted Attention Network(RAN),which employs vector re-weight after capturing the explicit feature interaction .This module can help model capture the high-order feature potential information more effectively.2)Auto Feature Select Gate(AFSG),which mining potential interactive information of shallow features and higher-order features On the basis of avoiding information loss.Experiments on three public datasets show that our method performs better than the current mainstream CTR prediction models.
