GePuTTIS: General Purpose Transitive Trust Inference System for Social Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent work has explored the idea of using trust networks to supplement ratings information in community-based information systems, including algorithms to infer missing values in the trust network. Current trust inference algorithms sometimes make undesirable inferences because they do not fully use information about distrust and sometimes make inferences based on weak support. Further, many algorithms do not consider the problem of trust scope, where one may trust someone’s opinions about movies but not books. We present GePuTTIS, a trust inference system that reasons about support levels, distrust, and trust scope. We demonstrate that it improves prediction performance in a collaborative filtering dataset.

Discovery of the Optimal Trust Inference Path for Online Social Networks
Analysis of the trust network proves beneficial to the users in Online Social Networks (OSNs) for decision-making. Since the construction of trust propagation paths connecting unfamiliar users is the preceding work of trust inference, it is vital to find appropriate trust propagation paths. Most of existing trust network discovery algorithms apply the classical exhausted searching approaches wi...
متن کاملTrust: Formal Semantics and Transitivity
Social networks based trust is a promising approach to supporting people and software agents to interact with “strangers” on the Web. A necessary condition for trust propagation in social networks is that trust is transitive. However, is trust transitive? What types of trust are transitive and why? There are few theories and models found to answer these fundamental questions in a formal manner....

In this paper, we continue our line of research for defining an integrated framework for the specification and analysis of security and trust, aimed at providing the basis for the modeling and analysis of security and trust aspects of emergent dynamic coalitions (e.g., mobile ad hoc networks, peer to peer systems, web services). In particular, we consider two well-known languages: 1) the Role-b...
متن کاملTrust Classification in Social Networks Using Combined Machine Learning Algorithms and Fuzzy Logic
Social networks have become the main infrastructure of today’s daily activities of people during the last decade. In these networks, users interact with each other, share their interests on resources and present their opinions about these resources or spread their information. Since each user has a limited knowledge of other users and most of them are anonymous, the trust factor plays an import...
