🚀 Feature request

https://github.com/NVIDIA-Merlin/competitions/blob/3734d8aef94c73f5f8a572789aca1a17f69b12a5/SIGIR_eCommerce_Challenge_2021/task1_session_based_rec/2-models/sigir_ecom_transformers/recsys_meta_model.py#L605

Motivation

SIGIR_eCommerce_Challenge_2021 solution from nvidia used a post-context fusion of search embeddings. Is there a way to introduce post context fusion using t4rec api and package.

Research direction

Read recsys_meta_model.py around line 605 in the linked SIGIR eCommerce Challenge solution, then inspect the Transformers4Rec API and package entry points relevant to context fusion. Define the required API behavior and confirm that post-context fusion can be represented through the package; the issue does not name tests or a specific completion check.
