  • 引入语义软交叉熵,缓解市场差异导致的优化困难。
  • 适合跨市场推荐场景,尤其适用于数据隔离的商业系统。

跨市场推荐(CMR)旨在提升多个市场间的推荐效果。由于数据隔离、用户不重叠和市场异质性等特点,CMR面临独特挑战,与跨域推荐有本质区别。现有方法多沿用一比一迁移范式,即在源市场预训练后微调目标市场,但易引发源市场性能下降(源退化)和因市场异质性导致的目标市场表现不佳(负迁移)。为此,本文提出FeCoSR:一种面向跨市场序列推荐的联邦协作框架。为应对源退化,设计多对多协作机制,包含联邦预训练阶段以捕捉共享的行为模式,以及本地微调阶段学习市场特异的物品偏好。针对负迁移,理论与实证表明原始交叉熵会加剧市场异质性,因此提出语义软交叉熵(S²CE),利用共享语义信息促进跨市场的协同行为学习。此外,在微调阶段引入市场特异性适配模块以捕捉本地物品偏好。在真实数据集上的大量实验表明,FeCoSR显著优于现有方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Cross-market recommendation (CMR) aims to enhance recommendation performance across multiple markets. Due to its inherent characteristics, i.e., data isolation, non-overlapping users, and market heterogeneity, CMR introduces unique challenges and fundamentally differs from cross-domain recommendation (CDR). Existing CMR approaches largely inherit CDR by adopting the one-to-one transfer paradigm, where a model is pretrained on a source market and then fine-tuned on a target market. However, such a paradigm suffers from CH1. source degradation, where the source market sacrifices its own performance for the target markets, and CH2. negative transfer, where market heterogeneity leads to suboptimal performance in target markets. To address these challenges, we propose FeCoSR, a novel federated collaboration framework for cross-market sequential recommendation. Specifically, to tackle CH1, we introduce a many-to-many collaboration paradigm that enables all markets to jointly participate in and benefit from training. It consists of a federated pretraining stage for capturing shared behavior-level patterns, followed by local fine-tuning for market-specific item-level preferences. For CH2, we theoretically and empirically show that vanilla Cross-Entropy (CE) exacerbates market heterogeneity, undermining federated optimization. To address this, we propose a Semantic Soft Cross-Entropy (S^2CE) that leverages shared semantic information to facilitate collaborative behavioral learning across markets. Then, we design a market-specific adaptation module during fine-tuning to capture local item preferences. Extensive experiments on the real-world datasets demonstrate the advantages of FeCoSR over other methods.
