Two Tower Embeddings
Two Tower Embeddings in the context of production machine-learning systems.
Lessons
Formal explanations, examples, simulations, and checkpoints.
Recommendation, search & ranking
BM25, factorization, two towers, and ANN
Hybrid retrieval works because lexical, collaborative, and content representations fail in different places.
Recommendation, search & rankingPointwise, pairwise, and listwise ranking
Pointwise learns values, pairwise learns preferences, and listwise learns positions—choose the supervision that matches the slate.
Recommendation, search & rankingServing freshness, diversity, and experiments
A recommendation ships only when relevance, freshness, diversity, and system guardrails succeed together.
Courses & assignments
Dependency-authoritative learning units.
Casebook
Reported facts and course reconstructions.
