Contribution grade

Recommendation and ranking systems · Human-designed research method or resource

Reference score125,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Jointly trained a wide linear feature-cross model with a deep embedding network and evaluated the integrated ranking system in Google Play recommendations.

Scientific scope

Jointly trained a wide linear feature-cross model with a deep embedding network and evaluated the integrated ranking system in Google Play recommendations. Inherits generalized linear models, feature crosses and embeddings. Memorization/generalization describe empirical modeling roles, not a theorem that their combination always improves recommendation. Online app-acquisition results are historical experiments, not present business impact or universal causal benefit; ranking is distinct from retrieval.

Evidence

The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof.
