| 2026 | RAD-DPO: Robust Adaptive Denoising Direct Preference Optimization for Generative Retrieval in E-commerceabstractGenerative Retrieval (GR) is rapidly transforming e-commerce search by replacing traditional multi-stage pipelines with the autoregressive decoding of structured Semantic IDs (SIDs). Despite this architectural efficiency, aligning GR models with nuanced, realworld user preferences remains a critical challenge. While Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) offers an efficient alignment solution, its direct application to structured SIDs suffers from three limitations: (i) it penalizes shared hierarchical prefixes, causing gradient conflicts; (ii) it is vulnerable to noisy pseudo-negatives from implicit feedback; and (iii) in multi-label queries with multiple relevant items, it exacerbates a probability "squeezing effect" among valid candidates. To address these issues, we propose RAD-DPO, which introduces token-level gradient detachment to protect prefix structures, similarity-based dynamic reward weighting to mitigate label noise, and a multi-label global contrastive objective integrated with global SFT loss to explicitly expand positive coverage. Extensive offline evaluations and large-scale online A/B testing on JD.com's core search engine demonstrate that RAD-DPO achieves significant improvements in both retrieval precision and training efficiency, proving its robustness for massive industrial deployments Yiming Qiu 0003, Xingzhi Yao, Huimu Wang, Yangqi Zhang, Songlin Wang, Sulong Xu |

| 2022 | MisuseHint: A Service for API Misuse Detection Based on Building Knowledge Graph from Documentation and CodebaseabstractDevelopers often call APIs to improve development efficiency, but they misuse APIs due to lack of understanding of source code logic and other unavoidable reasons, resulting in serious consequences such as program crashes. Many studies that extract API usage constraints from API documentation or codebases expect to get out of this dilemma through API misuse detection. However, low recall remains a hurdle for researchers to overcome. In this work, we make full use of API documentation and codebases to construct constraint knowledge graph, and propose a new API misuse detector, MisuseHint. We precisely define API constraints into seven categories, utilize API caveat knowledge in documentation and API usage patterns in codebases, and fuse knowledge from both to build knowledge graph with rich constraints. To detect API misuses, we obtain API usage constraints in the knowledge graph and analyze static code to propose different strategies to determine whether API misuses exist. Through defect pattern analysis, object variable tracking, and Z3 SAT solver, our detector can identify various complex situations of code at a fine-grained level, especially solving various complex problems of Call Order and State Checking constraints. Experimental results on MUBench show that our recall reaches 39.78%, demonstrating the validity and theoretical feasibility of fusing documentation and codebases using knowledge graphs. MisuseHint achieves a recall of 76.34% when it is always given sufficient API constraints. This detector can practically help developers program effectively.
