Abstract
An electronic device is described which has at least one input interface to receive at least one item of a sequence of items. The electronic device is able to communicate with a server, the server storing a neural network and a process which generates item embeddings of the neural network. The electronic device has a memory storing a copy of the neural network and a plurality of item embeddings of the neural network. In the case when there is unavailability at the electronic device of a corresponding item embedding corresponding to the received at least one item, the electronic device triggers transfer of the corresponding item embedding from the server to the electronic device. A processor at the electronic device predicts at least one candidate next item in the sequence by processing the corresponding item embedding with the copy of the neural network and the plurality of item embeddings.
