A biclustering-based approach to filter dishonest advisors in multi-criteria e-marketplaces

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a biclustering-based approach to identify dishonest advisors (who provide misleading opinions about sellers), while evaluating seller trustworthiness on multiple criteria. It considers correlation between advisors’ ratings to various criteria and trust transitivity to accurately filter the dishonest advisors. Evaluation results demonstrate the robustness of our approach against various types of unfair rating attacks.

With the existence of unfair rating attacks from dishonest advisors, the effectiveness of reputation systems thus heavily relies on whether buyers can accurately determine which advisors to include in trust networks and their ...

متن کاملRobust Trust Management (Doctoral Consortium)
To explain, in multi-agent based e-marketplaces, self-interested selling agents may act maliciously by not delivering products with the same quality as promised. It is thus important for buying agents to analyze their quality and determine which sellers to do business with, based on their previous experience with the sellers. However, realistically, in most e-marketplaces, buyers often encounte...
