How Rocket Launching Boosts Online CTR Prediction Without Slowing Inference

Rocket Launching introduces a novel co‑training framework that jointly trains a lightweight network and a more powerful booster network, sharing parameters and using gradient‑blocking and hint loss to improve click‑through‑rate prediction accuracy while keeping online inference latency unchanged, validated on public datasets and Alibaba’s ad system.

Rocket Launching: Boosting Real-Time CTR Prediction Without Extra Latency

Online click‑through‑rate (CTR) prediction demands millisecond‑level response times, yet deep models are too slow; this paper introduces a “Rocket Launching” framework that jointly trains a lightweight net and a powerful booster net, sharing parameters and using gradient‑blocking and hint loss to improve accuracy without increasing inference latency.
