This paper details a deep candidate generation model and then describes a separate deep ranking model and provides practical lessons and insights derived from designing, iterating and maintaining a massive recommendation system with enormous user-facing impact.
Abstract
YouTube represents one of the largest scale and most sophisticated industrial recommendation systems in existence. In this paper, we describe the system at a high level and focus on the dramatic performance improvements brought by deep learning. The paper is split according to the classic two-stage information retrieval dichotomy: first, we detail a deep candidate generation model and then describe a separate deep ranking model. We also provide practical lessons and insights derived from designing, iterating and maintaining a massive recommendation system with enormous user-facing impact.

Hybrid Sequential Recommender via Time-aware Attentive Memory Network.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-hop time-aware attentive memory network (MTAM) was proposed to integrate long-term and short-term preferences for top-k recommendation, which can be viewed as a nonlinear generalization of latent factorization for dot-product based top-K recommendation.

Learning Compositional, Visual and Relational Representations for CTR Prediction in Sponsored Search

TL;DR: This paper proposes an approach to improve the accuracy of CTR prediction by learning supplementary representations from three new aspects: the compositional components, the visual appearance and the relational structure of ads.

FLEN: Leveraging Field for Scalable CTR Prediction.

TL;DR: A novel Field-Leveraged Embedding Network (FLEN) which has been deployed in the commercial recommender system in Meitu and serves the main traffic is described, which devises a field-wise bi-interaction pooling technique and shows that a variety of state-of-the-art CTR models can be expressed under this technique.

Energy-Based Sequence GANs for Recommendation and Their Connection to Imitation Learning

TL;DR: Energy-based sequence generative adversarial nets are adopted for recommendation by learning a generative model for the time series of user-preferred items by recasting the energy function as the feature function.

Representation Learning-Assisted Click-Through Rate Prediction

TL;DR: DeepMCP as discussed by the authors proposes to model other types of relationships in order to learn more informative and statistically reliable feature representations, and in consequence to improve the performance of click-through rate prediction.

Batch Normalization: Accelerating Deep Network Training by Reducing Internal Covariate Shift

TL;DR: Batch Normalization as mentioned in this paper normalizes layer inputs for each training mini-batch to reduce the internal covariate shift in deep neural networks, and achieves state-of-the-art performance on ImageNet.

Distributed Representations of Words and Phrases and their Compositionality

TL;DR: In this paper, the Skip-gram model is used to learn high-quality distributed vector representations that capture a large number of precise syntactic and semantic word relationships and improve both the quality of the vectors and the training speed.
