TikTok Content Ecology Algorithm Team leverages multimodal, LLM/MLLM, NLP & CV, and recommendation technologies to provide platform-level algorithmic capabilities for various business lines, including local services, search, main architecture, PGC (Professionally Generated Content), and UG (User Growth). Our work spans short video content understanding, global trending event detection, intelligent customer service, and inspiration recommendation. There are over a hundred languages here, presenting multilingual challenges for NLP/LLM technologies. With a vast amount of short video content, MLLM and multimodal technologies have more application scenarios. The platform has a large user base, with hundreds of millions of creators, providing rich application scenarios for inspiration recommendation technologies. All business lines are in a period of rapid growth, with overall DAU and revenue increasing rapidly, offering vast development opportunities.
