[BUG] Criteo TensorFlow examples does not use numerical features

[bschifferer]

Describe the bug Numeric Inputs in TensorFlow example for scaling criteo are not used in the next layers

[EvenOldridge]

@bschifferer is this still a valid issue? Can you provide more details?

[rnyak]

@EvenOldridge @viswa-nvidia what Benedikt refers here that in the scaling-criteo 03-Training-with-TF.ipynb notebook, we define numerical layers for numerical features, but they are never fed in the model architecture, therefore it is not used. The issue is still valid, yes.

@rvk007 created a PR to update the TensorFlow model with Merlin Models. I need to review it, but I think we will fix the issue soon

We updated the example to use merlin models (in Merlin/Merlin repo)
