Mind the Gap: Bridging Behavioral Silos with LLMs in Multi-Vertical Recommendations
In multi-vertical e-commerce platforms like DoorDash, relatively newer product verticals such as grocery and retail present a significant opportunity for personalization innovation. A key challenge lies in solving the "cold start" problem for users. This paper introduces a novel framework for enhancing recommendation quality by transferring knowledge from data-rich verticals (e.g., restaurants at DoorDash) to data-sparse ones. We leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform generative inference, synthesizing sparse, high-dimensional features that encapsulate latent user affinities. Specifically, we employ a hierarchical Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline to derive multi-level taxonomic features from user restaurant order histories and search queries. These generated features, encoding both long-term cross-vertical preferences and short-term intent, are integrated into a production Multi-Task Learning (MTL) ranking model. We demonstrate through extensive offline and online evaluation that this approach significantly improves personalization and engagement in emerging business verticals, effectively bridging the behavioral data gap.

Time SeriesTheory of Mind and Self-Attributions of Mentality are Dissociable in LLMs
Safety fine-tuning in Large Language Models (LLMs) seeks to suppress potentially harmful forms of mind-attribution such as models asserting their own consciousness or claiming to experience emotions. We investigate wheth…
Reasoning and Behavioral Equilibria in LLM-Nash Games: From Mindsets to Actions
We introduce the LLM-Nash framework, a game-theoretic model where agents select reasoning prompts to guide decision-making via Large Language Models (LLMs). Unlike classical games that assume utility-maximizing agents wi…
