AIGQ, a hybrid generative architecture developed by Alibaba's Taobao & Tmall Group, addresses personalized pre-search query recommendation for e-commerce by integrating interest-aware list training and continuous policy optimization. The framework achieved online increases of over 10% in attributed orders and Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) on the Taobao platform.

Key insights

  • Explicit list-aware supervised fine-tuning and fine-grained reinforcement learning, enhanced with dual-level rewards, are complementary and critical for optimizing ordered list generation in LLM-based recommenders.
  • Reasoning augmentation (AIGQ-Think) improves generation accuracy and diversity by distilling complex user intent into coherent interest points before generating queries.
  • Continuous policy optimization through daily reinforcement learning updates, integrating a CTR reward from production models, effectively aligns the LLM's generation policy with real-time user preferences and mitigates distribution shift.
