In this work, inspired by secret sharing schemes, we introduce a privacy-preserving approach for network consensus, by which all nodes in a network can reach an agreement on their states without exposing the individual state to neighbors.…

With the overwhelming online products available in recent years, there is an increasing need to filter and deliver relevant personalized advice for users. Recommender systems solve this problem by modeling and predicting individual…

In this paper, we present work-in-progress on applying user pre-filtering to speed up and enhance recommendations based on Collaborative Filtering. We propose to pre-filter users in order to extract a smaller set of candidate neighbors, who…

The randomized power method has gained significant interest due to its simplicity and efficient handling of large-scale spectral analysis and recommendation tasks. However, its application to large datasets containing personal information…

Social networks include millions of users constantly looking for new relationships for personal or professional purposes. Social network sites recommend friends based on relationship features and content information. A significant part of…

Nowadays, with the remarkable expansion of the information through the internet, users prefer to receive the exact information that they need through some suggestions from their friends or profiles to save their time and money. Recommend…

Correlation clustering is a central problem in unsupervised learning, with applications spanning community detection, duplicate detection, automated labelling and many more. In the correlation clustering problem one receives as input a set…

In this paper, we present an approach for predicting trust links between peers in social media, one that is grounded in the artificial intelligence area of multiagent trust modeling. In particular, we propose a data-driven multi-faceted…

Users of online dating sites are facing information overload that requires them to manually construct queries and browse huge amount of matching user profiles. This becomes even more problematic for multimedia profiles. Although matchmaking…

In micro-blogging platforms, people connect and interact with others. However, due to cognitive biases, they tend to interact with like-minded people and read agreeable information only. Many efforts to make people connect with those who…

Federated recommendation addresses the data silo and privacy problems altogether for recommender systems. Current federated recommender systems mainly utilize cryptographic or obfuscation methods to protect the original ratings from…

Online Social Networks (OSNs) have come to play an increasingly important role in our social lives, and their inherent privacy problems have become a major concern for users. Can we assist consumers in their privacy decision-making…

Transfer learning is an effective technique to improve a target recommender system with the knowledge from a source domain. Existing research focuses on the recommendation performance of the target domain while ignores the privacy leakage…

Recommender systems recommend objects regardless of potential adverse effects of their overcrowding. We address this shortcoming by introducing crowd-avoiding recommendation where each object can be shared by only a limited number of users…

Personally identifiable information (PII) can find its way into cyberspace through various channels, and many potential sources can leak such information. Data sharing (e.g. cross-agency data sharing) for machine learning and analytics is…

The massive upsurge in computational and storage has driven the local data and machine learning applications to the cloud environment. The owners may not fully trust the cloud environment as it is managed by third parties. However,…

Recommender systems are used with the purpose of suggesting contents and resources to the users in a social network. These systems use ranks or tags each user assign to different resources to predict or make suggestions to users. Lately,…

Privacy-preserving distributed processing has recently attracted considerable attention. It aims to design solutions for conducting signal processing tasks over networks in a decentralized fashion without violating privacy. Many algorithms…

Socially-based recommendation systems have recently attracted significant interest, and a number of studies have shown that social information can dramatically improve a system's predictions of user interests. Meanwhile, there are now many…

In this paper, we study the problem of summation evaluation of secrets. The secrets are distributed over a network of nodes that form a ring graph. Privacy-preserving iterative protocols for computing the sum of the secrets are proposed,…
