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.

Non-overlapping Cross-domain Sequential Recommendation (NCSR) is the task that focuses on domain knowledge transfer without overlapping entities. Compared with traditional Cross-domain Sequential Recommendation (CSR), NCSR poses several challenges: 1) NCSR methods often rely on explicit item IDs, overlooking semantic information among entities. 2) Existing CSR mainly relies on domain alignment for knowledge transfer, risking semantic loss during alignment. 3) Most previous studies do not consider the many-to-one characteristic, which is challenging because of the utilization of multiple source domains. Given the above challenges, we introduce the prompt learning technique for Many-to-one Non-overlapping Cross-domain Sequential Recommendation (MNCSR) and propose a Text-enhanced Co-attention Prompt Learning Paradigm (TCPLP). Specifically, we capture semantic meanings by representing items through text rather than IDs, leveraging natural language universality to facilitate cross-domain knowledge transfer. Unlike prior works that need to conduct domain alignment, we directly learn transferable domain information, where two types of prompts, i.e., domain-shared and domain-specific prompts, are devised, with a co-attention-based network for prompt encoding. Then, we develop a two-stage learning strategy, i.e., pre-train & prompt-tuning paradigm, for domain knowledge pre-learning and transferring, respectively. We conduct extensive experiments on three datasets and the experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our TCPLP. Our source codes have been publicly released.
