Abstract

Recommendation systems have become central to digital platforms, enabling personalized content delivery in domains ranging from e-commerce and entertainment to healthcare and education. Traditional recommendation models rely on abundant, domain-specific training data, which limits their ability to generalize across contexts. Cross-domain transfer in AI-powered recommendation systems addresses this challenge by leveraging knowledge from one domain and applying it to another, enabling more accurate, robust, and adaptable recommendations even in data-sparse environments.
