Abstract

Cross-domain recommendations are currently available in closed, proprietary social networking ecosystems such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+. I propose an open framework as an alternative, which enables cross-domain recommendations with domain-agnostic user profiles modeled as semantic interest graphs. This novel framework covers all parts of a recommender system. It includes an architecture for privacy-enabled profile exchange, a distributed and domain-agnostic user model and a cross-domain recommendation algorithm. This enables users to receive recommendations for a target domain (e.g. food) based on any kind of previous interests.
