Description

❓ Questions & Help

Details

Im working on a project that requires me to produce a stable long-term user and item representation and also use short-term user behavior for next action prediction. Is it possible to create a custom architecture to train two transformer towers together with different inputs and then have concat at later point. What is the recommended architecture for problems like this.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified, and the issue asks for architectural guidance rather than a defined change. Start by reviewing the repository's existing transformer and recommendation components, then clarify the two input representations, training objective, and expected concatenation behavior; done would be a maintainer-approved architecture or a separately scoped implementation issue.
