HybridBackend is a high-performance framework for training wide-and-deep
recommender systems on heterogeneous cluster.

## Features

- Memory-efficient loading of categorical data
- GPU-efficient orchestration of embedding layers
- Communication-efficient training and evaluation at scale
- Easy to use with existing AI workflows

## Usage

A minimal example:

```python
import tensorflow as tf
import hybridbackend.tensorflow as hb

ds = hb.data.Dataset.from_parquet(filenames)
ds = ds.batch(batch_size)
# ...

with tf.device('/gpu:0'):
embs = tf.nn.embedding_lookup_sparse(weights, input_ids)
# ...
```

Please see [documentation](https://hybridbackend.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for
more information.
