abstract
Recommendation systems represent one of the largest machine learning applications on the planet -- industry-scale recommendation models are trained with petabytes of data and serve billions of users every day. To utilize the rich user signals in the long user history, these models have been scaled up to unprecedented complexity, up to trillions of floating-point operations (TFLOPs) per example. This scale, coupled with the huge amount of training data, necessitates new storage and training algorithms to efficiently improve the quality of these complex recommendation systems.
