Easier ways to get started in recommendation algos?

This is treasure! Thanks for collecting and sharing them across. I'm new to the world recommendation algorithms and have a basic understanding of common systems out there. These are certainly cutting edge. However, I find it hard to start or understand from these papers. Are there any video links explaining these or conference talks for the same?

Perhaps you might find the recsys teardowns here helpful to begin with?
