Abstract
This tutorial presents the state-of-the-art and emerging studies on lifelong learning cross-domain recommender systems (RSs), including the latest and most advanced theories, methods, models, data, and applications. At the beginning of this tutorial, we will present the background and foundation of lifelong learning and RSs. Then, the 3C-principle, \emph{Complement, Composite, and Context}, will be utilized to build various lifelong cross-domain RSs by continuously fusing new knowledge across multiple domains. More specifically, we will respectively present the details of how to model lifelong learning cross-domain RSs with complementary, composite knowledge, and contextual knowledge over ever-evolving domains.
