TLDR
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.read more

It's Time to Consider "Time" when Evaluating Recommender-System Algorithms [Proposal]
TL;DR: It is proposed that recommender-system researchers should instead calculate metrics for time-series such as weeks or months, and plot the results in e.g. a line chart to show how algorithms' effectiveness develops over time, and hence the results allow drawing more meaningful conclusions about how an algorithm will perform in the future.

Citation recommendation employing heterogeneous bibliographic network embedding
TL;DR: This work proposes a heterogeneous network embedding model that jointly learns node representations by exploiting semantics corresponding to the author, time, context, field of study, citations, and topics and shows significant improvement on mean average precision and normalized discounted cumulative gain metrics.

Batch Normalization: Accelerating Deep Network Training by Reducing Internal Covariate Shift
Sergey Ioffe,Christian Szegedy +1 more
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.
