Zusammenfassung: | Recommendation systems have been widely used by commercial service providers
for giving suggestions to users. Collaborative filtering (CF) systems, one of
the most popular recommendation systems, utilize the history of behaviors of
the aggregate user-base to provide individual recommendations and are effective
when almost all users faithfully express their opinions. However, they are
vulnerable to malicious users biasing their inputs in order to change the
overall ratings of a specific group of items. CF systems largely fall into two
categories - neighborhood-based and (matrix) factorization-based - and the
presence of adversarial input can influence recommendations in both categories,
leading to instabilities in estimation and prediction. Although the robustness
of different collaborative filtering algorithms has been extensively studied,
designing an efficient system that is immune to manipulation remains a
significant challenge. In this work we propose a novel "hybrid" recommendation
system with an adaptive graph-based user/item similarity-regularization -
"Chiron". Chiron ties the performance benefits of dimensionality reduction
(through factorization) with the advantage of neighborhood clustering (through
regularization). We demonstrate, using extensive comparative experiments, that
Chiron is resistant to manipulation by large and lethal attacks. |
