Personalized Recommendation for Xianyu Small Item Pools: Challenges and Solutions

Xianyu’s personalized recommendation system struggles with tiny, fast‑turnover item pools because traditional X2I matrices provide insufficient recall, so the team introduced pool‑specific pre‑filtering, high‑dimensional vector search, and a real‑time search‑engine recall, the latter boosting clicks by 14 % and transactions by 0.14 %.
