Cross-domain sequential recommendation (CDSR) aims to address the data sparsity problems that exist in traditional sequential recommendation (SR) systems. The existing approaches aim to design a specific cross-domain unit that can transfer and propagate information across multiple domains by relying on overlapping users with abundant behaviors. However, in real-world recommender systems, CDSR scenarios usually consist of a majority of long-tailed users with sparse behaviors and cold-start users who only exist in one domain. This leads to a drop in the performance of existing CDSR methods in the real-world industry platform. Therefore, improving the consistency and effectiveness of models in open-world CDSR scenarios is crucial for constructing CDSR models (\textit{1st} CH). Recently, some SR approaches have utilized auxiliary behaviors to complement the information for long-tailed users. However, these multi-behavior SR methods cannot deliver promising performance in CDSR, as they overlook the semantic gap between target and auxiliary behaviors, as well as user interest deviation across domains (\textit{2nd} CH).
In the post-pandemic era, wearing face masks has posed great challenge to the ordinary face recognition. In the previous study, researchers has applied pretrained VGG16, and ResNet50 to extract features on the elaborate curated existing masked face recognition (MFR) datasets, RMFRD and SMFRD. To make the model more adaptable to the real world situation where the sample size is smaller and the camera environment has greater changes, we created a more challenging masked face dataset ourselves, by selecting 50 identities with 1702 images from Labelled Faces in the Wild (LFW) Dataset, and simulated face masks through key point detection. The another part of our study is to solve the masked face recognition problem, and we chose models by referring to the former state of the art results, instead of directly using pretrained models, we fine tuned the model on our new dataset and use the last linear layer to do the classification directly. Furthermore, we proposed using data augmentation strategy to further increase the test accuracy, and fine tuned a new networks beyond the former study, one of the most SOTA networks, Inception ResNet v1. The best test accuracy on 50 identity MFR has achieved 95%.
