A novel item anomaly detection approach against shilling attacks in collaborative recommendation systems using the dynamic time interval segmentation technique





                                             Various types of web applications have gained both higher customer satisfaction and more benefits since being successfully armed with personalized recommendation. However, the increasingly rampant shilling attackers apply  biased rating profiles to systems to manipulate item recommendations, which not just lower the recommending precision and user satisfaction but also damage the trustworthiness of intermediated transaction platforms and participants. Many studies have offered methods against shilling attacks, especially user profile based-detection. However, this detection suffers from the extraction of the universal feature of attackers, which directly results in poor performance when facing the improved shilling attack types. This paper presents a novel dynamic time interval segmentation technique based item anomaly detection approach to address these problems.

                                    In particular, this study is inspired by the common attack features from the standpoint of the item profile, and can detect attacks regardless of the specific attack types. The proposed segmentation technique could confirm the size of the time interval dynamically to group as many consecutive attack ratings together as possible. In addition, apart from effectiveness metrics, little attention has been paid to the robustness of detection methods, which includes measuring both the accuracy and the stability of results. Hence, we introduced a stability metric as a complement for estimating the robustness. Thorough experiments on the MovieLens dataset illustrate the performance of the proposed approach, and justify the value of the proposed approach for online applications.

Rescue Wings: Mobile Computing and Active Services Support for Disaster Rescue

                                           During disaster events, timely and targeted information provision and exchange could provide great help to the stricken population in difficult and complicated environments. This paper reports a service oriented system, called Rescue Wings, for providing emergency support to sufferers and rescuers in disasters. The system utilizes mobile services to acquire real-time information about the users and environment, and constructs service agents (servants) to provide active services for mobile users. To perform their functions, the servants frequently invoke a set of intelligent services of Rescue Wings, which can further access a number of public services from government and other public organizations.                                    ...

Risk Assessment Method using a Game Theoretic Approach  In 2010, the value of the North American search engine marketing market was estimated at . More recently, Deighton and Johnson [2] calculated that the search audience assembly sector contributes $19 billion to the US economy employing 82,000 employees. Search Engine Marketing is defined by the Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO) as a: “...form of internet marketing that seeks to promote websites by increasing their visibility in search engine result pages (SERPs). SEM methods include: search engine optimization (SEO), paid placement, contextual advertising, digital asset o ptimization, and paid inclusion ” [3]. SEO, a method used in SEM, is the process of positively affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un -paid ("organic") search...
