--- tags: - model_hub_mixin - pytorch_model_hub_mixin - rq-vae - recommender_systems - generative_retrieval - tiger - retrieval - variational_autoencoder --- Trained RQ-VAE checkpoint from [Recommender Systems with Generative Retrieval](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.05065) by Google DeepMind. Given item textual embeddings, this model generates a semantic id for the item that can be used for further downstream recommendation, ranking and retrieval tasks. The model is trained on Amazon Beauty using the open-source [paper implementation](https://github.com/EdoardoBotta/RQ-VAE-Recommender?tab=readme-ov-file) by Edoardo Botta, where more details on pre-training are found.
