While user preferences are important to cross-domain recommendation (CDR), existing methods primarily discover preferences under specific, yet possibly redundant, item features. To this end, we first propose a novel Preference Prototype-Aware (PPA) learning method to quantitatively learn user preferences while minimizing disturbances from the source domain. It introduces a mix-encoder and a proto-decoder. On the one hand, the mix-encoder learns better general representations of interacted items and captures the intrinsic relationships between items across different domains. On the other hand, the proto-decoder implements a learnable prototype matching mechanism to quantitatively perceive user preferences, avoiding disturbances caused by item features from the source domain. Moreover, through experiments on PPA, we observe another two issues that affect existing CDR methods' performance, i.e., the semantic deficiency caused by sparse item categories and the imbalance weights caused by different user-item distributions. Thus, we further propose a LoRA-based extractor and a domain cross-attention module to alleviate the two issues, respectively. The PPA incorporating with new extractor and attention module is called PPA++. Extensive experiments show that PPA++ outperforms the other state-of-the-art counterparts in four different CDR scenarios.
