An implementation of a deep learning recommendation model (DLRM) The model input consists of dense and sparse features. The former is a vector of floating point values. The latter is a list of sparse indices into embedding tables, which consist of vectors of floating point values. The selected vectors are passed to mlp networks denoted by triangles, in some cases the vectors are interacted through operators (Ops).
output:

input:
[ dense features ] [sparse indices] , ..., [sparse indices]
More precise definition of model layers:
-
fully connected layers of an mlp
z = f(y)
y = Wx + b
-
embedding lookup (for a list of sparse indices p=[p1,...,pk])
z = Op(e1,...,ek)
obtain vectors e1=E[:,p1], ..., ek=E[:,pk]
-
Operator Op can be one of the following
Sum(e1,...,ek) = e1 + ... + ek
Dot(e1,...,ek) = [e1'e1, ..., e1'ek, ..., ek'e1, ..., ek'ek]
Cat(e1,...,ek) = [e1', ..., ek']'
where ' denotes transpose operation

Performance benchmarking
./bench/dlrm_s_benchmark.sh -
The code supports interface with the Criteo Kaggle Display Advertising Challenge Dataset. Please do the following to prepare the dataset for use with DLRM code:
- First, specify the raw data file (train.txt) as downloaded with --raw-data-file=<path/train.txt>
- This is then pre-processed (categorize, concat across days...) to allow using with dlrm code
- The processed data is stored as .npz file in <root_dir>/input/.npz
- The processed file (.npz) can be used for subsequent runs with --processed-data-file=<path/.npz>
./bench/dlrm_s_criteo_kaggle.sh
-
The code supports interface with the Criteo Terabyte Dataset. Please do the following to prepare the dataset for use with DLRM code:
- First, download the raw data files day_0.gz, ...,day_23.gz and unzip them
- Specify the location of the unzipped text files day_0, ...,day_23, using --raw-data-file=<path/day> (the day number will be appended automatically)
- These are then pre-processed (categorize, concat across days...) to allow using with dlrm code
- The processed data is stored as .npz file in <root_dir>/input/.npz
- The processed file (.npz) can be used for subsequent runs with --processed-data-file=<path/.npz>
./bench/dlrm_s_criteo_terabyte.sh ["--memory-map --data-sub-sample-rate=0.875"]
NOTE: Benchmarking scripts accept extra arguments which will be passed along to the model, such as --num-batches=100 to limit the number of data samples
During training, the model can be saved using --save-model=<path/model.pt>
The model is saved if there is an improvement in test accuracy (which is checked at --test-freq intervals).
A previously saved model can be loaded using --load-model=<path/model.pt>
Once loaded the model can be used to continue training, with the saved model being a checkpoint. Alternatively, the saved model can be used to evaluate only on the test data-set by specifying --inference-only option.
