Description

The tutorial example illustrates how we recommend movies given to users. I have two follow-up questions regarding when this algorithm scale-up:

  1. What if the number of users increases to 50M and the number of movies to 100k.(can't feed everything into memory..)
  2. What to do when new users and new movies are added in, How would this architecture handle continuous training?

Thanks
