DEEP AND WIDE MACHINE LEARNED MODEL FOR JOB RECOMMENDATION

In an example, features in a boosting decision tree model are initialized to zero, the boosting decision tree model located in a GLMM and connected to a deep neural network collaborative filtering model via a prediction layer. While the features in the boosting decision tree model remain zero, the deep neural network collaborative filtering model is trained. One or more trees in the boosting decision tree model are boosted using logits produced by the training of the deep neural network collaborative filtering model as a margin. The prediction layer is trained using features from the deep neural network collaborative filtering model and features from the boosting decision tree model. It is then determined whether a set of convergence criteria is met. If not, then the deep neural network collaborative filtering model is retrained using the features and the process is repeated until the set of convergence criteria is met.
