• Title: A Meta-learning based Stacked Regression Approach for Customer Lifetime Value Prediction
• Authors: Karan Gadgil, Sukhpal Singh Gill, Ahmed M. Abdelmoniem
• Abstract summary: Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) is the total monetary value of transactions/purchases made by a customer with the business over an intended period of time. CLV finds application in a number of distinct business domains such as Banking, Insurance, Online-entertainment, Gaming, and E-Commerce. We propose a system which is able to qualify both as effective, and comprehensive yet simple and interpretable.

• Abstract: Companies across the globe are keen on targeting potential high-value customers in an attempt to expand revenue and this could be achieved only by understanding the customers more. Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) is the total monetary value of transactions/purchases made by a customer with the business over an intended period of time and is used as means to estimate future customer interactions. CLV finds application in a number of distinct business domains such as Banking, Insurance, Online-entertainment, Gaming, and E-Commerce. The existing distribution-based and basic (recency, frequency & monetary) based models face a limitation in terms of handling a wide variety of input features. Moreover, the more advanced Deep learning approaches could be superfluous and add an undesirable element of complexity in certain application areas. We, therefore, propose a system which is able to qualify both as effective, and comprehensive yet simple and interpretable. With that in mind, we develop a meta-learning-based stacked regression model which combines the predictions from bagging and boosting models that each is found to perform well individually. Empirical tests have been carried out on an openly available Online Retail dataset to evaluate various models and show the efficacy of the proposed approach.

  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 study how a principal can efficiently and effectively intervene on the rewards of a previously unseen learning agent in order to induce desirable outcomes. This is relevant to many real-world settings like auctions or taxation, where the principal may not know the learning behavior nor the rewards of real people. We introduce MERMAIDE, a model-based meta-learning framework to train a principal that can quickly adapt to out-of-distribution agents.

  Existing federated learning paradigms usually extensively exchange distributed models at a central solver to achieve a more powerful model. This would incur severe communication burden between a server and multiple clients especially when data distributions are heterogeneous. Unlike existing paradigms, we introduce an alternative perspective to significantly decrease the communication cost in federate learning.
