Enhancing enterprise knowledge retrieval via cross-domain deep recommendation: a sparse data approach

Abstract Enterprise knowledge retrieval faces challenges like sparse data and inefficient cross-domain knowledge transfer, hindering traditional methods. To address this, we develop a cross-domain recommendation model (CDR-VAE), combining a hybrid autoencoder with domain alignment, and test its effe...

description Abstract Enterprise knowledge retrieval faces challenges like sparse data and inefficient cross-domain knowledge transfer, hindering traditional methods. To address this, we develop a cross-domain recommendation model (CDR-VAE), combining a hybrid autoencoder with domain alignment, and test its effectiveness on an enterprise dataset and the Movies&Books benchmark. At a top-5 recommendation length, CDR-VAE scores HR = 0.642, Recall = 0.432, NDCG = 0.715, outperforming existing models. Removing shared latent representations reduces HR to 0.701, proving their necessity for cross-domain learning. In enterprise applications, high-activity users favor technical reports (0.903), while low-activity users shift toward cross-domain content like industry standards (0.701), confirming the model’s robustness in sparse scenarios. CDR-VAE successfully tackles sparsity and cross-domain barriers, advancing enterprise knowledge management. This work provides theoretical and practical insights for deep learning-based recommendation systems in data-scarce environments.
