• Abstract: In the evolving landscape of recommender systems, the challenge of effectively conducting privacy-preserving Cross-Domain Recommendation (CDR), especially under strict non-overlapping constraints, has emerged as a key focus. Despite extensive research has made significant progress, several limitations still exist: 1) Previous semantic-based methods fail to deeply exploit rich textual information, since they quantize the text into codes, losing its original rich semantics. 2) The current solution solely relies on the text-modality, while the synergistic effects with the ID-modality are ignored. 3) Existing studies do not consider the impact of irrelevant semantic features, leading to inaccurate semantic representation. To address these challenges, we introduce federated semantic learning and devise FFMSR as our solution. For Limitation 1, we locally learn items'semantic encodings from their original texts by a multi-layer semantic encoder, and then cluster them on the server to facilitate the transfer of semantic knowledge between domains. To tackle Limitation 2, we integrate both ID and Text modalities on the clients, and utilize them to learn different aspects of items. To handle Limitation 3, a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-based filter and a gating mechanism are developed to alleviate the impact of irrelevant semantic information in the local model. We conduct extensive experiments on two real-world datasets, and the results demonstrate the superiority of our FFMSR method over other SOTA methods.

• Semantic-diversity transfer network for generalized zero-shot learning via inner disagreement based OOD detector [26.89763840782029]
  Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to recognize objects from unseen classes, where the kernel problem is to transfer knowledge from seen classes to unseen classes. The knowledge transfer in many existing works is limited mainly due to the facts that 1) the widely used visual features are global ones but not totally consistent with semantic attributes. We propose a Semantic-diversity transfer Network (SetNet) addressing the first two limitations, where 1) a multiple-attention architecture and a diversity regularizer are proposed to learn multiple local visual features that are more consistent with semantic attributes and 2) a projector ensemble that geometrically takes diverse local features as inputs
