• Abstract: Modern online services continuously generate data at very fast rates. This continuous flow of data encompasses content -- e.g., posts, news, products, comments --, but also user feedback -- e.g., ratings, views, reads, clicks --, together with context data -- user device, spatial or temporal data, user task or activity, weather. This can be overwhelming for systems and algorithms designed to train in batches, given the continuous and potentially fast change of content, context and user preferences or intents. Therefore, it is important to investigate online methods able to transparently adapt to the inherent dynamics of online services. Incremental models that learn from data streams are gaining attention in the recommender systems community, given their natural ability to deal with the continuous flows of data generated in dynamic, complex environments. User modeling and personalization can particularly benefit from algorithms capable of maintaining models incrementally and online. The objective of this workshop is to foster contributions and bring together a growing community of researchers and practitioners interested in online, adaptive approaches to user modeling, recommendation and personalization, and their implications regarding multiple dimensions, such as evaluation, reproducibility, privacy and explainability.

  We present a novel immersion-aware model trading framework that incentivizes metaverse users (MUs) to contribute learning models for augmented reality (AR) services in the vehicular metaverse. Considering dynamic network conditions and privacy concerns, we formulate the reward decisions of MSPs as a multi-agent Markov decision process. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework can effectively provide higher-value models for object detection and classification in AR services on real AR-related vehicle datasets.

  We present a study of fairness in online personalization settings involving the ranking of individuals. We first demonstrate that online personalization can cause the model to learn to act in an unfair manner if the user is biased in his/her responses. We then formulate the problem of learning personalized models under fairness constraints and present a regularization based approach for mitigating biases in machine learning.
