Towards a Densing Law for User Representation Learning at Billion-Scale Capacity

User representation learning in real-world industrial scenarios is commonly scaled by increasing user amount, behavioral sequence length and model size. However, existing methods face two challenges: (i) Bottleneck for raw data scaling at billion-scale capacity, as performance exhibit diminishing performance gains with larger-scale raw text user behavioral input, which can be mitigated by tokenization. (ii) Lack of quantitative analysis of how tokenization configurations should scale with data size. In this report, we propose User Behavioral Densing Law for characterizing the quantitative relationship between data scale and the minimum sufficient tokenization capacity. Firstly, we conduct a pilot study on raw & tokenized scaling comparison on billion-scale Alipay dataset, revealing the raw data scaling bottleneck and the sustained gains enabled by tokenization. To derive the scaling pattern governing the minimum sufficient tokenization configuration at different data scales, theoretical analysis and systematic experiments are employed to summarize the quantitative scaling pattern. We find an approximately linear relationship between the logarithms of minimum sufficient tokenization capacity and input data size measured by tokens, and the scaling slope varies systematically with the tokenization method and data source, reflecting differences in representation-space redundancy and intra-source uniqueness. Guided by the proposed law, we further develop ALGN, an adaptive variable-length tokenization method that improves capacity allocation. Extensive experiments across diverse data sources, tokenization methods, and downstream tasks demonstrate the generalizability and reliability of the User Behavioral Densing Law, providing practical guidance for tokenization configuration selection in large-scale user representation learning. Moreover, ALGN outperforms existing baselines.

FOUNDv2: Learning Unified User Quantized Tokenizers for User Representation

User representation learning serves as a fundamental pillar for personalized services on large-scale web platforms. Despite its importance, conventional continuous embedding methods face significant challenges, including the lack of a unified paradigm for multi-source data integration, prohibitive storage overhead due to low information density, and the lack of multi-scale modeling granularity. To overcome these limitations, we introduce FOUNDv2, a comprehensive user representation scheme centered on the Unified User Quantized Tokenizer U2QT) framework. FOUNDv2 transforms heterogeneous user data into a standardized discrete token space through a robust two-stage architecture. Specifically, the framework first extracts compact feature representations and subsequently employs a multi-view RQ-VAE to discretize them into storage-efficient tokens using shared and source-specific codebooks. To empower these representations with predictive intelligence, we further design multi-scale alignment objectives to capture both fine-grained behavioral dependencies and macro-temporal periodicity. Extensive experiments on various benchmarks demonstrate that FOUNDv2 consistently outperforms task-specific baselines while achieving substantial reductions in storage and computational costs. Finally, the large-scale deployment of FOUNDv2 on Alipay validates its practical scalability and efficiency across diverse industrial scenarios. The main code is available at: https://github.com/chuanhe1999/FOUNDv2.

Transferable and Forecastable User Targeting Foundation Model

User targeting, the process of selecting targeted users from a pool of candidates for non-expert marketers, has garnered substantial attention with the advancements in digital marketing. However, existing user targeting methods encounter two significant challenges: (i) Poor cross-domain and cross-scenario transferability and generalization, and (ii) Insufficient forecastability in real-world applications. These limitations hinder their applicability across diverse industrial scenarios. In this work, we propose FOUND, an industrial-grade, transferable, and forecastable user targeting foundation model. To enhance cross-domain transferability, our framework integrates heterogeneous multi-scenario user data, aligning them with one-sentence targeting demand inputs through contrastive pre-training. For improved forecastability, the text description of each user is derived based on anticipated future behaviors, while user representations are constructed from historical information. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms existing baselines in cross-domain, real-world user targeting scenarios, showcasing the superior capabilities of FOUND. Moreover, our method has been successfully deployed on the Alipay platform and is widely utilized across various scenarios.

Learning Segmented 3D Gaussians via Efficient Feature Unprojection for Zero-shot Neural Scene Segmentation

Zero-shot neural scene segmentation, which reconstructs 3D neural segmentation field without manual annotations, serves as an effective way for scene understanding. However, existing models, especially the efficient 3D Gaussian-based methods, struggle to produce compact segmentation results. This issue stems primarily from their redundant learnable attributes assigned on individual Gaussians, leading to a lack of robustness against the 3D-inconsistencies in zero-shot generated raw labels. To address this problem, our work, named Compact Segmented 3D Gaussians (CoSegGaussians), proposes the Feature Unprojection and Fusion module as the segmentation field, which utilizes a shallow decoder generalizable for all Gaussians based on high-level features. Specifically, leveraging the learned Gaussian geometric parameters, semantic-aware image-based features are introduced into the scene via our unprojection technique. The lifted features, together with spatial information, are fed into the multi-scale aggregation decoder to generate segmentation identities for all Gaussians. Furthermore, we design CoSeg Loss to boost model robustness against 3D-inconsistent noises. Experimental results show that our model surpasses baselines on zero-shot semantic segmentation task, improving by ~10% mIoU over the best baseline. Code and more results will be available at https://David-Dou.github.io/CoSegGaussians.
