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.

GPT4Rec: A Generative Framework for Personalized Recommendation and User Interests Interpretation

TL;DR: GPT4Rec as mentioned in this paper is a generative framework inspired by search engines, which first generates hypothetical "search queries" given item titles in a user's history, and then retrieves items for recommendation by searching these queries.

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.
