Search advertising connects user intent with commercial content and plays a critical role in platform monetization. Recent systems typically align pretrained generative models with a single business reward, such as eCPM, or use naive reward fusion for preliminary multi-objective alignment. However, an ideal search advertising system must jointly account for heterogeneous objectives, including relevance, click propensity, and commercial value, to balance user experience and business value while mitigating globally suboptimal performance caused by gradient competition. We propose UniPolicy, an objective-aware multi-policy alignment framework. UniPolicy combines objective-specific prefix tokens, sparse MoE-LoRA routing, and objective-specific residual FFNs to hierarchically decouple parameters within a shared backbone, providing differentiated parameter and policy-expression spaces for different business objectives. It further constructs pairwise preferences from multi-stage behavioral feedback, supplementing the relative preference information in exposed-but-unclicked samples and strengthening the relative advantage of clicked candidates in the generation distribution. At inference, UniPolicy supports parallel, business-customizable multi-policy beam search, flexibly allocating candidate quotas across objectives under a fixed retrieval budget. Large-scale offline experiments show that UniPolicy delivers balanced improvements across multiple metrics while preserving retrieval quality, outperforming single-objective reinforcement learning and naive reward-fusion baselines. In a 7-day online A/B test on a real search advertising system, UniPolicy improves CTR by 0.71%, RPS by 1.58%, and advertising revenue by 1.32%, while maintaining stable serving latency.
Generative retrieval (GR) is a promising paradigm for industrial search advertising, yet its deployment is constrained by strict relevance and latency requirements. Existing systems cascade GR with an independent relevance model, decoupling the generative likelihood objective from query-ad relevance discrimination, which compromises effectiveness and increases serving costs. We propose a Unified Generative-Discriminative framework (UniGD) that integrates retrieval and relevance scoring within a single model. To mitigate gradient interference in joint optimization, UniGD introduces Conflict-Aware Gradient Enhancement (CAGE) to adaptively coordinate the two objectives. UniGD further designs a Codebook-Anchored Representation Module (CAM) that anchors item representations to frozen hierarchical codebooks distilled from a multimodal pretrained model, thereby endowing them with rich and generalizable semantic priors. For heterogeneous short-video, product, and live-stream ads, UniGD proposes Heterogeneous Ad-material Modeling (HAM), which captures cross-type semantic commonality over a shared backbone while preserving type-specific modeling capacity. Online AB tests on Kuaishou search advertising platform show that UniGD raises ad revenue by 5.78%, reduces inference latency by 33%, and improves discriminative relevance estimation. On NQ320K and MS300K, UniGD improves Recall@10 over the strongest reproduced GR baseline by 8.44% and 3.19%, respectively.
Advertising video generation is not only a video synthesis task, but also a product-conditioned reasoning problem whose success is measured by online business metrics. Recent video foundation models can generate realistic clips from multimodal conditions, yet they do not optimize how a product should be transformed into an effective advertisement or how future generation should be improved from online business feedback. To close this loop, we propose AgenticGen, a reward-guided agentic framework that decomposes advertising video generation into two trainable reasoning stages, strategy selection and draft generation, thereby exposing optimization targets that online business feedback can supervise. AgenticGen learns a performance-based reward from accumulated online feedback and a complementary rubric-based reward aligned with human quality standards, then uses them to supervise policy optimization. DPO first moves the agentic policies toward online preferences, and GRPO further refines both stages with process and outcome rewards. Offline experiments validate the reward models and successive policy optimization. Online A/B experiments in the TikTok advertising system show that AgenticGen after DPO and GRPO improves CTR by 2.72%, CVR by 2.63%, and Advv by 9.61% over the SFT baseline.
Generating realistic and user-preferred advertisements is a key challenge in e-commerce. Existing approaches utilize multiple independent models driven by click-through-rate (CTR) to controllably create attractive image or text advertisements. However, their pipelines lack cross-modal perception and rely on CTR that only reflects average preferences. Therefore, we explore jointly generating personalized image-text advertisements from historical click behaviors. We first design a Unified Advertisement Generative model (Uni-AdGen) that employs a single autoregressive framework to produce both advertising images and texts. By incorporating a foreground perception module and instruction tuning, Uni-AdGen enhances the realism of the generated content. To further personalize advertisements, we equip Uni-AdGen with a coarse-to-fine preference understanding module that effectively captures user interests from noisy multimodal historical behaviors to drive personalized generation. Additionally, we construct the first large-scale Personalized Advertising image-text dataset (PAd1M) and introduce a Product Background Similarity (PBS) metric to facilitate training and evaluation. Extensive experiments show that our method outperforms baselines in general and personalized advertisement generation. Our project is available at https://github.com/JD-GenX/Uni-AdGen.
