To address the long-standing data sparsity problem in recommender systems (RSs), cross-domain recommendation (CDR) has been proposed to leverage the relatively richer information from a richer domain to improve the recommendation performance in a sparser domain. Although CDR has been extensively studied in recent years, there is a lack of a systematic review of the existing CDR approaches. To fill this gap, in this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of existing CDR approaches, including challenges, research progress, and future directions. Specifically, we first summarize existing CDR approaches into four types, including single-target CDR, multi-domain recommendation, dual-target CDR, and multi-target CDR. We then present the definitions and challenges of these CDR approaches. Next, we propose a full-view categorization and new taxonomies on these approaches and report their research progress in detail. In the end, we share several promising research directions in CDR.

    cs.IR 2025-07 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 200-person study of music-driven cross-domain recommendation for art therapy shows music-based and visual-based engines perform equally, contradicting the paper's 'outperforming' claim.

  7. RankGraph: Unified Heterogeneous Graph Learning for Cross-Domain Recommendation

    cs.IR 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    RankGraph combines RGCN-style message passing, contrastive learning, and graph-token injection into foundation-model recommenders, reporting small online CTR and CVR gains.
