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.

Characterizing Deep Learning Training Workloads on Alibaba-PAI

TL;DR: An analytical framework is established to investigate detailed execution time breakdown of various workloads using different training architectures, to identify performance bottleneck, and shows that weight/gradient communication during training takes almost 62% of the total execution time among all the workloads on average.

Discoverability: Toward a Definition of Content Discovery Through Platforms:

TL;DR: An analytical framework for studying the dynamic and personalized processes of content discovery on platforms is proposed that highlights three dimensions of this process: the design and management of choice in platform interfaces, the pathways users take to find content and the effects those choices have, and the resulting experiences these elements produce.

Fast Item Ranking under Neural Network based Measures

TL;DR: This paper formulate ranking under neural network based measures as a generic ranking task, Optimal Binary Function Search (OBFS), which does not make strong assumptions for the ranking measures, and proposes a flexible graph-based solution for it, Binary Function search on Graph (BFSG).

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.
