Using DLRM | Building Recommender Systems with PyTorch | Maxim Naumov and Dheevatsa Mudigere

In this tutorial series we show how to build deep learning recommendation systems and resolve the associated interpretability, integrity and privacy challenges. We start with an overview of the PyTorch framework, features that it offers and a brief review of the evolution of recommendation models. We delineate their typical components and build a proxy deep learning recommendation model (DLRM) in PyTorch. Then, we discuss how to interpret recommendation system results as well as how to address the corresponding integrity and quality challenges. The material for this section covers:

Thanks Maxim and Dheevasta

[@videowatching9576]

My feedback would be that it would be awesome to check out a tutorial walking through a use of DLRM - and specifically I think for video recommendations, such as seeking to personalize the experience of showing videos to someone, based on selecting from a library of some millions of videos. Thanks.

These are NOT a tutorials for creating Recommendation systems. . Bunch of Confusing slide presentations with lot of jargon/acronyms. Probably created by presenters to impress their facebook bosses. waste of time.

Hi Manu, we're sorry you did not find the tutorial helpful. Let us know if you have any recommendations on how we can improve this tutorial. We will pass along your feedback to the PyTorch team.

[@papaguagua]

Agreed!

[@thvk98]

Totally use less, it fill like you are teaching how to drive the car without driving the car🙄

I have wasted my time for this, not helpful for whom wanna build RL apps
