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.

Learning to Recommend With Multiple Cascading Behaviors

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-task learning framework is proposed for learning recommender systems from user multi-behavior data, where the optimization on a behavior is treated as a task.

Beyond Greedy Ranking: Slate Optimization via List-CVAE

TL;DR: List Conditional Variational Auto-Encoders (List-CVAE), which learns the joint distribution of documents on the slate conditioned on user responses, and directly generates full slates, and outperforms popular comparable ranking methods consistently on various scales of documents corpora.

Personalised Reranking of Paper Recommendations Using Paper Content and User Behavior

TL;DR: This article examines an academic paper recommender that sends out paper recommendations in email newsletters, based on the users’ browsing history on the academic search engine, and proposes an approach to reranking candidate recommendations that utilizes both paper content and user behavior.

PURE: Positive-Unlabeled Recommendation with Generative Adversarial Network

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors developed a novel framework named PURE, which trains an unbiased positive-unlabeled discriminator to distinguish the true relevant user-item pairs against the ones that are non-relevant.

Are Labels Required for Improving Adversarial Robustness

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that unlabeled data can be a competitive alternative to labeled data for training adversarially robust models, and they show that in a simple statistical setting, the sample complexity for learning an adversarial robust model from unlabelled data matches the fully supervised case up to constant factors.

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.
