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.

An Investigation of Practical Approximate Nearest Neighbor Algorithms

TL;DR: This paper asks the question: can earlier spatial data structure approaches to exact nearest neighbor, such as metric trees, be altered to provide approximate answers to proximity queries and if so, how and why and introduces a new kind of metric tree that allows overlap.

Implicit Feedback for Recommender Systems

TL;DR: This paper identifies three types of implicit feedback and suggests two strategies for using implicit feedback to make recommendations.
