Huang, Lei, Li, Weitao, Zhang, Chenrui, Wang, Jinpeng, Yi, Xianchun, Chen, Sheng
Cross-domain recommendation has attracted substantial interest in industrial apps such as Meituan, which serves multiple business domains via knowledge transfer and meets the diverse interests of users. However, existing methods typically follow an implicit modeling paradigm that blends the knowledge from both the source and target domains, and design intricate network structures to share learned embeddings or patterns between domains to improve recommendation accuracy. Since the transfer of interest signals is unsupervised, these implicit paradigms often struggle with the negative transfer resulting from differences in service functions and presentation forms across different domains. In this paper, we propose a simple and effective EXplicit Interest Transfer framework named EXIT to address the stated challenge. Specifically, we propose a novel label combination approach that enables the model to directly learn beneficial source domain interests through supervised learning, while excluding inappropriate interest signals. Moreover, we introduce a scene selector network to model the interest transfer intensity under fine-grained scenes. Offline experiments conducted on the industrial production dataset and online A/B tests validate the superiority and effectiveness of our proposed framework. Without complex network structures or training processes, EXIT can be easily deployed in the industrial recommendation system. EXIT has been successfully deployed in the online homepage recommendation system of Meituan App, serving the main traffic.

Abstract-- Deep learning based latent representations have been widely used for numerous scientific visualization applications such as isosurface similarity analysis, volume rendering, flow field synthesis, and data reduction, just to name a few. However, existing latent representations are mostly generated from raw data in an unsupervised manner, which makes it difficult to incorporate domain interest to control the size of the latent representations and the quality of the reconstructed data. In this paper, we present a novel importance-driven latent representation to facilitate domain-interest-guided scientific data visualization and analysis. We utilize spatial importance maps to represent various scientific interests and take them as the input to a feature transformation network to guide latent generation. We further reduced the latent size by a lossless entropy encoding algorithm trained together with the autoencoder, improving the storage and memory efficiency. We qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of latent representations generated by our method with data from multiple scientific visualization applications. First, to incorporate domain by autoencoders have attracted great attentions of researchers in recent interests into latent representations, we extend the basic autoencoder years. Latent representations have been successfully demonstrated to with a feature transformation network that takes domain interest as an retain essential information in the original data, and can be used for input to guide the mapping from scientific data to latent representations. Every been applied to multivariate volumetric data [28], streamlines and element in the importance map is a real value indicating how vital this stream surfaces [18], isosurfaces [12], and particles [25]. The importance Although latent representations for large-scale scientific data have values can be derived mathematically based on the domain or been used extensively, there are still several challenges. First, domain heuristically based on distances, distributions, locations, etc., depending scientists have diverse interests in different data portions, but latent on the underlying scientific applications.
