arXiv:2607.29213v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern recommender systems in food delivery increasingly leverage multimodal signals, including images, text, and user interaction histories, to enhance user experience, yet effective fusion of these heterogeneous modalities remains challenging, hindering both the joint modeling of multimodal signals and adaptation to evolving user intent. In mainstream two-stage approaches, the separation between content-semantic pretraining of image-text encoders and behavior-driven ranking models limits alignment between semantic understanding and user behavior patterns. To address these issues, we present GALA, a three-stage pipeline whose core innovation lies in an intermediate "generative RL alignment" stage that constructs multimodal pretraining data from user behavior and refines it via conversion-based rewards, effectively bridging the pretraining-fine-tuning gap to align with downstream objectives. GALA comprises three stages: first, behavior-aware triplet pretraining on query-image-text pairs from search logs to early capture user intent and content preferences; second, a novel intermediate stage that refines multimodal embeddings through reward-driven optimization (GRPO) to dynamically align them with user behavior and bridge the pretraining-fine-tuning gap; and finally, integration of multimodal and ID embeddings via adaptive gating with a hybrid loss, preserving multimodal contributions under long-term ID-dominant training. GALA has been deployed in the production environment at Taobao Shangou, serving over 200 million daily …
