Abstract

Cross-domain recommendation technology effectively enhances the recommendation performance of the target domain by deeply mining and utilizing useful information from other domains, providing an effective solution to user cold-start problem. However, existing cross-domain recommendation methods have limitations, failing to finely expand implicit relationships and neglecting potential redundant information in embedding vectors, which restricts the performance of cross-domain recommendation systems. To address this, the Intra-domain and inter-domain Meta-paths aggregation based Cross-Domain Recommendation method (IMCDR) is introduced. Specifically, IMCDR first calculates the fine-grained semantic embedding of entities across multiple fields, thereby effectively extending user-user and item-item relations. Then, IMCDR generates private features and shared features for each node based on intra-domain meta-paths and inter-domain meta-paths respectively, and effectively integrates them to obtain better quality embedding vectors. Experimental results across three cross-domain recommendation tasks demonstrate that IMCDR significantly outperforms in terms of precision and overall performance.
