A priori trust inference with context-aware stereotypical deep learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
In multi-agent systems, stereotypical trust models are widely used to bootstrap a priori trust in case historical trust evidences are unavailable. These models can work well if and only if malicious agents share some common features (i.e., stereotypes) in their profiles and these features can be detected. However, this condition may not hold for all the adversarial scenarios. Smart attackers can show different trustworthiness to different agents and services (i.e., launching context-correlated attacks). In this paper, we propose CAST, a novel Context-Aware Stereotypical Trust deep learning framework. CAST coins a comprehensive set of seven context-aware stereotypes, each of which can capture an unique type of context-correlated attacks, as well as a deep learning architecture to keep the trust stereotyping robust (i.e., resist training errors). The basic idea is to construct a multi-layer perceptive structure to learn the latent correlations between context-aware stereotypes and the trustworthiness, and thus can estimate the new trust by taking into account the context information. We have evaluated CAST using a rich set of experiments over a simulated multi-agent system. The experimental results have successfully confirmed that, our CAST can achieve approximately tens of times higher trust inference accuracy in average than the competing algorithms in the presence of context-correlated attacks, and more importantly can maintain a much better trust inference robustness against stereotyping errors.

Context-aware systems enable the sensing and analysis of user context in order to provide personalized services to users. We observed that it is possible to automatically learn contextual factors and behavioral patterns when users interact with the system. We later utilize the learned patterns to infer contextual user interests within a recommender system. We present a novel context-aware model...

It is a common and useful task in a web of trust to evaluate the trust value between two nodes using intermediate nodes. This technique is widely used when the source node has no experience of direct interaction with the target node, or the direct trust is not reliable enough by itself. If trust is used to support decision-making, it is important to have not only an accurate estimate of trust, ...

In context-aware systems, there is a high demand on providing privacy solutions to users when they are interacting and exchanging personal information. Privacy in this context encompasses reasoning about trust and risk involved in interactions between users. Trust, therefore, controls the amount of information that can be revealed, and risk analysis allows us to evaluate the expected benefit th...
