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.

McDRAM v2: In-Dynamic Random Access Memory Systolic Array Accelerator to Address the Large Model Problem in Deep Neural Networks on the Edge

TL;DR: The proposed McDRAM v2 is a novel in-dynamic random access memory (DRAM) systolic array accelerator architecture that can handle large DNN models without off-chip memory accesses, in a fast and efficient manner, by exposing the large DRAM capacity and large in-DRAM bandwidth directly to an input syStolic array of a processing element matrix.

One Person, One Model, One World: Learning Continual User Representation without Forgetting

TL;DR: This paper presents Conure the first continual, or lifelong, user representation learner, and proposes iteratively removing less important weights of old tasks in a deep user representation model, motivated by the fact that neural network models are usually over-parameterized.

Contrastive Learning for Debiased Candidate Generation in Large-Scale Recommender Systems

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors theoretically proved that contrastive loss is equivalent to reducing the exposure bias via inverse propensity weighting, which provides a new perspective for understanding the effectiveness of contrastive learning.

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.
