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.

Measuring Misinformation in Video Search Platforms: An Audit Study on YouTube

TL;DR: YouTube still has a long way to go to mitigate misinformation on its platform and a filter bubble effect, both in the Top 5 and Up-Next recommendations for all topics, except vaccine controversies; for these topics, watching videos that promote misinformation leads to more misinformative video recommendations.

Personalized Key Frame Recommendation

TL;DR: This paper makes use of video images and user time-synchronized comments to design a novel key frame recommender that can simultaneously model visual and textual features in a unified framework and can thus select key frames in a personalized manner, which, to the best of the knowledge, is the first time in the research field of video content analysis.

Practical Diversified Recommendations on YouTube with Determinantal Point Processes

TL;DR: This work presents a statistical model of diversity based on determinantal point processes (DPPs), and empirical results show that this model, coupled with a re-ranking algorithm, yields substantial short- and long-term increases in user engagement.

Learning to Represent Human Motives for Goal-directed Web Browsing

TL;DR: GoWeB as discussed by the authors adopts a psychologically-sound taxonomy of higher-ordered goals and learns to build their representations in a structure-preserving manner, then incorporates the resulting representations for enhancing the experiences of common activities people perform on the web.

Efficient Neural Matrix Factorization without Sampling for Recommendation

TL;DR: This work derives three new optimization methods through rigorous mathematical reasoning, which can efficiently learn model parameters from the whole data with a rather low time complexity, and presents a general framework named ENMF, short for Efficient Neural Matrix Factorization.

Distributed Representations of Words and Phrases and their Compositionality

TL;DR: This paper presents a simple method for finding phrases in text, and shows that learning good vector representations for millions of phrases is possible and describes a simple alternative to the hierarchical softmax called negative sampling.

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.
