AdaRec: Adaptive Sequential Recommendation for Reinforcing Long-term User Engagement
One challenge in large-scale online recommendation systems is the constant and complicated changes in users' behavior patterns, such as interaction rates and retention tendencies.
KuaiSim: A Comprehensive Simulator for Recommender Systems
For each task, KuaiSim also provides evaluation protocols and baseline recommendation algorithms that further serve as benchmarks for future research.

In this work, we aim to learn a policy that can generate sufficiently diverse item lists for users while maintaining high recommendation quality.
Multi-Task Recommendations with Reinforcement Learning
To be specific, the RMTL structure can address the two aforementioned issues by (i) constructing an MTL environment from session-wise interactions and (ii) training multi-task actor-critic network structure, which is compatible with most existing MTL-based recommendation models, and (iii) optimizing and fine-tuning the MTL loss function using the weights generated by critic networks.

Two-Stage Constrained Actor-Critic for Short Video Recommendation
One the one hand, the platforms aims at optimizing the users' cumulative watch time (main goal) in long term, which can be effectively optimized by Reinforcement Learning.
PrefRec: Recommender Systems with Human Preferences for Reinforcing Long-term User Engagement
Though promising, the application of RL heavily relies on well-designed rewards, but designing rewards related to long-term user engagement is quite difficult.

Meanwhile, reinforcement learning (RL) is widely regarded as a promising framework for optimizing long-term engagement in sequential recommendation.
Constrained Reinforcement Learning for Short Video Recommendation
In this paper, we formulate the problem of short video recommendation as a constrained Markov Decision Process (MDP), where platforms want to optimize the main goal of user watch time in long term, with the constraint of accommodating the auxiliary responses of user interactions such as sharing/downloading videos.

Multi-Path Policy Optimization
Recent years have witnessed a tremendous improvement of deep reinforcement learning.
Deterministic Value-Policy Gradients
Based on this theoretical guarantee, we propose a class of the deterministic value gradient algorithm (DVG) with infinite horizon, and different rollout steps of the analytical gradients by the learned model trade off between the variance of the value gradients and the model bias.
