Extended Reality (XR) is a promising umbrella of technologies. Tasks like learning, training, or relaxing can be improved in XR interactive environments in a safe, autonomous, and customized way. In many applications, to achieve these goals, the use of biosignals acquired during the XR experience would play a major role. However, before biofeedback-based XR experiences become a standard solution, there is an extensive research to be done. Biosignals produce massive datasets in XR environments that should be processes to extract useful information. Machine-learning techniques might be the best option to extract the hidden information collected by tracking systems or to adapt XR experience to user´s performance.

The call of this Special Session is addressed to all that studies that involve the use of any machine learning technology in XR experiences. We invite researchers, educators, industry professionals, and students to submit abstracts that relate to these topics and share their insights and experiences with the community. The special session will provide a platform for cross-disciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, fostering the advancement of machine learning applications within XR experience with no limit to any final use.

The session will cover a variety of topics including but not limited to:

• Machine learning algorithms for data processing in XR applications
• Machine learning algorithms for pattern identification in XR applications
• User´s identification by means of machine learning techniques in XR applications
• Semi-supervised algorithms applied to XR
• Multi-label learning in XR applications
• Machine learning algorithms applied to sentiment analysis and emotion detection
• Information fusion from XR
• Instance selection/generation from data gathered from XR
• Feature selection/generation from data gathered from XR

Andres Bustillo is Associate Professor at the Computer Engineering Deparment of the University of Burgos (Spain).
