These example notebooks demonstrate how to use NVTabular with HugeCTR. Each example provides details about the end-to-end workflow, which includes Download data, ETL, and Training.

Each example notebook is structured as follows:

1. 01-Download-Convert.ipynb: Demonstrates how to download the dataset and convert it into the correct format so that it can be consumed.
2. 02-ETL-with-NVTabular.ipynb: Demonstrates how to execute the preprocessing and feature engineering pipeline (ETL) with NVTabular on the GPU.
3. 03-Training-with-TF.ipynb: Demonstrates how to train a model with TensorFlow based on the ETL output.
4. MM-01-Getting-started.ipynb: Demonstrates Merlin Models by training Facebook's DLRM architecture with only 3 commands.
5. MM-02-Merlin-Models-and-NVTabular-integration.ipynb: Demonstrates how NVTabular and Merlin Models can be integrated together.
6. MM-03-Exploring-different-models.ipynb: Demonstrate how to build and train several popular deep learning-based ranking model architectures.
7. MM-04-Exporting-ranking-models.ipynb: Demonstrates how to export (save) NVTabular workflow and a ranking model for model deployment with Merlin Systems library.
8. MM-05-Retrieval-Model.ipynb: Demonstrates how to build a Two-Tower model for Item Retrieval task using synthetic datasets
9. MM-06-Define-your-own-architecture-with-Merlin-Models.ipynb: Demonstrates how to combine pre-existing blocks and create a custom DLRM architecture.
10. MM-07-Train-traditional-ML-models-using-the-Merlin-Models-API.ipynb: Demonstrates how to train several traditional ML models using Merlin Models.​​​​​​
