• Abstract: Cold-start problem is still a very challenging problem in recommender systems. Fortunately, the interactions of the cold-start users in the auxiliary source domain can help cold-start recommendations in the target domain. How to transfer user's preferences from the source domain to the target domain, is the key issue in Cross-domain Recommendation (CDR) which is a promising solution to deal with the cold-start problem. Most existing methods model a common preference bridge to transfer preferences for all users. Intuitively, since preferences vary from user to user, the preference bridges of different users should be different. Along this line, we propose a novel framework named Personalized Transfer of User Preferences for Cross-domain Recommendation (PTUPCDR). Specifically, a meta network fed with users' characteristic embeddings is learned to generate personalized bridge functions to achieve personalized transfer of preferences for each user. To learn the meta network stably, we employ a task-oriented optimization procedure. With the meta-generated personalized bridge function, the user's preference embedding in the source domain can be transformed into the target domain, and the transformed user preference embedding can be utilized as the initial embedding for the cold-start user in the target domain. Using large real-world datasets, we conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of PTUPCDR on both cold-start and warm-start stages.

  We propose a Coherence-guided Preference Disentanglement (CoPD) method aimed at improving cross-domain recommendation by i) explicitly extracting shared item attributes to guide the learning of shared user preferences and ii) disentangling these preferences to identify specific user interests transferred between domains. Experiments conducted on real-world datasets demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed CoPD over existing competitive baselines, highlighting its effectiveness in enhancing cross-domain recommendation performance.

The intuition is that user-item interactions in a source domain can augment the recommendation quality in a target domain. We present results on two widely-used datasets - Amazon and Yelp, which support the claim that holistic user preference knowledge leads to better recommendations.
