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.

A collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm based on information theory and bi-clustering

TL;DR: This paper proposed a novel collaborative filtering method (CBE-CF) to extract the local dense rating modules to cope with the data sparsity and the computational efficiency of the traditional recommendation algorithms, by introducing the information entropy and bi-clustering into collaborative filtering.
