This paper explores recommender systems in social networks which leverage information such as item rating, intra-item similarities, and trust graph. We demonstrate that item-rating information is more influential than other information…
Trust and trustworthiness form the basis for continued social and economic interactions, and they are also fundamental for cooperation, fairness, honesty, and indeed for many other forms of prosocial and moral behavior. However, trust…
A critical step to building trustworthy deep neural networks is trust quantification, where we ask the question: How much can we trust a deep neural network? In this study, we take a step towards simple, interpretable metrics for trust…
Trust plays an important role in making collaborative decisions about service evaluation and service selection in pervasive computing. Context is a fundamental concept in pervasive systems, which is based on the interpretation of…
Trust has been explored by many researchers in the past as a successful solution for assisting recommender systems. Even though the approach of using a web-of-trust scheme for assisting the recommendation production is well adopted, issues…
The emerging paradigm of the Social Internet of Things (SIoT) has transformed the traditional notion of the Internet of Things (IoT) into a social network of billions of interconnected smart objects by integrating social networking facets…
Social media sites are now becoming very important platforms for product promotion or marketing campaigns. Therefore, there is broad interest in determining ways to guide a site to react more positively to a product with a limited budget.…
We introduce the concept of adaptive trust in crowdsourced IoT services. It is a customized fine-grained trust tailored for specific IoT consumers. Usage patterns of IoT consumers are exploited to provide an accurate trust value for service…
Veracity of data posted on the microblog platforms has in recent years been a subject of intensive study by professionals specializing in various fields of informatics as well as sociology, particularly in the light of increasing importance…
The emerging yet promising paradigm of the Social Internet of Things (SIoT) integrates the notion of the Internet of Things with human social networks. In SIoT, objects, i.e., things, have the capability to socialize with the other objects…
As data is increasingly acknowledged as a highly valuable asset, much effort has been put into investigating inter-organisational data sharing, aiming at utilising the value of formerly unused data. Moreover, most researchers agree, that…
User trust is a crucial consideration in designing robust visual analytics systems that can guide users to reasonably sound conclusions despite inevitable biases and other uncertainties introduced by the human, the machine, and the data…
Trust is an important aspect of human life. It provides instrumental value in allowing us to collaborate on and defer actions to others, and intrinsic value in our intimate relationships with romantic partners, family, and friends. In this…
Recently, e-commerce has enjoyed the appearance of many novel opportunities created as a result of the increasing growth of social networks. Social commerce (s-commerce), an offspring of e-commerce, interconnects users and helps with the…
Trustfulness -- one's general tendency to have confidence in unknown people or situations -- predicts many important real-world outcomes such as mental health and likelihood to cooperate with others such as clinicians. While data-driven…
Trust is a fundamental concept in human decision-making and collaboration that has long been studied in philosophy and psychology. However, software engineering (SE) articles often use the term trust informally; providing an explicit…
Trust between team members is an essential requirement for any successful cooperation. Thus, engendering and maintaining the fellow team members' trust becomes a central responsibility for any member trying to not only successfully…
We describe the steps of developing the MDMT (Multi-Dimensional Measure of Trust), an intuitive self-report measure of perceived trustworthiness of various agents (human, robot, animal). We summarize the evidence that led to the original…
What are the key-features that enable an information diffusion model to explain the inherent dynamic, and often competitive, nature of real-world propagation phenomena? In this paper we aim to answer this question by proposing a novel class…
The paper begins by exploring the rationality of ethical trust as a foundational concept. This involves distinguishing between trust and trustworthiness and delving into scenarios where trust is both rational and moral. It lays the…
