GIANT: Scalable Creation of a Web-scale Ontology
Summary: GIANT constructs a scalable, web-scale Attention Ontology from user attention signals, covering entities, concepts, events and topics. GNN-based mining over web docs and click graphs yields a hierarchical, phrase-rich ontology, deployed at Tencent with CTR gains in news recommendations. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
