An Effective Way for Cross-Market Recommendation with Hybrid Pre-Ranking and Ranking Models

The Cross-Market Recommendation task of WSDM CUP 2022 is about finding solutions to improve individual recommendation systems in resource-scarce target markets by leveraging data from similar high-resource source markets. Finally, our team OPDAI won the first place with NDCG@10 score of 0.6773 on the leaderboard. Our solution to this task will be detailed in this paper. To better transform information from source markets to target markets, we adopt two stages of ranking. In pre-ranking stage, we adopt diverse pre-ranking methods or models to do feature generation. After elaborate feature analysis and feature selection, we train LightGBM with 10-fold bagging to do the final ranking.
