Network for Shilling attack Detection

User similarity-based graph convolutional neural network for shilling attack detection



Collaborative recommendation systems have been widely used in various fields, such as movies, music and e-commerce. However, due to the natural openness of its ratings, it is vulnerable to shilling attacks. Shilling attacks greatly affect the accuracy and trustworthiness of recommendation systems, so we urgently need effective methods to counter shilling attacks. Some detection methods have been proposed previously.

However, they mostly use manual feature extraction-based methods. These methods require specialized statistical knowledge to summarize user-specific rating patterns in user rating databases, which is very difficult. Thus, we propose a method called User Similarity-based Graph convolutional neural network for Shilling Attack Detection (USGSAD). This method achieves the purpose of detecting shilling attacks without using manual features.

First, our method calculates user similarity by jointing both correlation and deviation of user rating behaviors. Second, we build a user relationship graph based on user similarity matrix and use graph embedding method to obtain user low-dimensional embedding vectors. Finally, we design a User Similarity Graph Convolutional Network (USGCN) to assign weights to aggregate user embeddings and predict the attackers in the recommender system. Adequate experiments on Amazon and MovieLens datasets show that our proposed method outperforms the baseline methods in detection performance.

 How Network Polarization Shapes Our Politics! Network polarization amplifies political divisions by clustering like-minded individuals into echo chambers, where opposing views are rarely encountered. This reinforces biases, reduces dialogue, and deepens ideological rifts. Social media algorithms further intensify this divide, shaping public opinion and influencing political behavior in increasingly polarized and fragmented societies. Network polarization refers to the phenomenon where social networks—both offline and online—become ideologically homogenous, clustering individuals with similar political beliefs together. This segregation leads to the formation of echo chambers , where people are primarily exposed to information that reinforces their existing views and are shielded from opposing perspectives. In political contexts, such polarization has profound consequences: Reinforcement of Biases : When individuals only interact with like-minded peers, their existing beliefs bec...

Quantum Network Nodes

An operating system for executing applications on quantum network nodes The goal of future quantum networks is to enable new internet applications that are impossible to achieve using only classical communication . Up to now, demonstrations of quantum network applications  and functionalities   on quantum processors have been performed in ad hoc software that was specific to the experimental setup, programmed to perform one single task (the application experiment) directly into low-level control devices using expertise in experimental physics.  Here we report on the design and implementation of an architecture capable of executing quantum network applications on quantum processors in platform-independent high-level software. We demonstrate the capability of the architecture to execute applications in high-level software by implementing it as a quantum network operating system-QNodeOS-and executing test programs, including a delegated computation from a client to a server ...

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...
