ABSTRACT

YouTube represents one of the largest scale and most sophis-

ticated industrial recommendation systems in existence. In

this paper, we describe the system at a high level and fo-

cus 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 sepa-

rate deep ranking model. We also provide practical lessons

and insights derived from designing, iterating and maintain-

ing a massive recommendation system with enormous user-

facing impact.

Keywords

recommender system; deep learning; scalability

1. INTRODUCTION

YouTube is the world’s largest platform for creating, shar-

ing and discovering video content. YouTube recommenda-

tions are responsible for helping more than a billion users

discover personalized content from an ever-growing corpus

of videos. In this paper we will focus on the immense im-

pact deep learning has recently had on the YouTube video

recommendations system. Figure 1 illustrates the recom-

mendations on the YouTube mobile app home.

Recommending YouTube videos is extremely challenging

from three major perspectives:

• Scale: Many existing recommendation algorithms proven

to work well on small problems fail to operate on our

scale. Highly specialized distributed learning algorithms

and eﬃcient serving systems are essential for handling

YouTube’s massive user base and corpus.

• Freshness: YouTube has a very dynamic corpus with

many hours of video are uploaded per second. The

recommendation system should be responsive enough

to model newly uploaded content as well as the lat-

est actions taken by the user. Balancing new content

with well-established videos can be understood from

an exploration/exploitation perspective.

• Noise: Historical user behavior on YouTube is inher-

ently diﬃcult to predict due to sparsity and a vari-

ety of unobservable external factors. We rarely ob-

tain the ground truth of user satisfaction and instead

model noisy implicit feedback signals. Furthermore,

metadata associated with content is poorly structured

without a well deﬁned ontology. Our algorithms need

to be robust to these particular characteristics of our

training data.

In conjugation with other product areas across Google,

YouTube has undergone a fundamental paradigm shift to-

wards using deep learning as a general-purpose solution for

nearly all learning problems. Our system is built on Google

Brain [4] which was recently open sourced as TensorFlow [1].

TensorFlow provides a ﬂexible framework for experimenting

with various deep neural network architectures using large-

scale distributed training. Our models learn approximately

one billion parameters and are trained on hundreds of bil-

lions of examples.
