Facebook open-sources DLRM, a deep learning recommendation model

Facebook today announced the open source release of Deep Learning Recommendation Model (DLRM), a state-of-the-art AI model for serving up personalized results in production environments. DLRM can be found on GitHub, and implementations of the model are available for Facebook's PyTorch, Facebook's distributed learning framework Caffe2, and Glow C . Recommendation engines decide a lot of what people see today, whether it's content on social media sites like Facebook, ecommerce sites like Amazon, or even the first options you see on an Xbox. Last month, Amazon made its AI for the shopping recommendations system Personalize available on AWS. A paper by more than 20 Facebook AI researchers published on arXiv in late May explains how the model uses embedding tables that map categorical data to representations.
