Heterogeneous Recommendations: What You Might Like To Read After Watching Interstellar

Summary: X-Map transfers ratings across application domains via weighted meta-path similarities, constructing users’ cross-domain “AlterEgo” profiles for cold-start recommendations. Layer-based pruning enables scalable computation, while exponential-mechanism selection provides differential privacy; Amazon experiments show superior accuracy and linear speedup.
