Abstract

This tutorial presents state-of-the-art theories and approaches to building multidomain recommender systems (RSs), including the latest and most advanced theories, methods, models, data, and applications. First, we will present the background and foundations of RSs, followed by the illustration of 3C-law (Complement, Composite, and Context) to build various multidomain RSs: (1) recommendation with complementary knowledge, (2) recommendation with composite knowledge, and (3) recommendation with contextual knowledge, together with their RS prototypes. Finally, we will demonstrate several representative emerging real-world application cases of multidomain RSs in fashion industry, finance, healthcare, and multimedia.
