待翻譯：Off-Policy Evaluation for Semantic ID Recommenders: Does the Model's Own Code Hierarchy Help?

Before spending scarce A/B-test, a team may decide offline which decoder or reranking variants are worth testing - a job for off-policy evaluation (OPE). We ask a simple question: can the model's own SID tree serve as the action abstraction for that OPE? Our answer has three parts. (i) Under the near-argmax logging real recommenders use, per-item OPE is hopeless - as item-level effective sample size is usually small on production logs - but marginalizing items to code-prefix clusters restores estimable support and cuts error. (ii) This gain is thanks to coarsening, not to the hierarchy specifically; but the SID tree is what makes coarsening feasible in a generative system - each cluster's mass is exactly and cheaply returned by the decoder, whereas flat clustering requires enumerating item/leaf masses that a code-only decoder does not directly expose. (iii) Resolution depth is the operative knob - coarser under scarce support - and a conditional bias bound links the coarsening bias to the quantizer's worst-case reconstruction residual and the target-logging divergence.
