Attack Detection Using Item Vector Shift in Matrix Factorisation Recommenders
This paper proposes a novel method for detecting shilling attacks in Matrix Factorization (MF)-based Recommender Systems (RS), in which attackers use false user-item feedback to promote a specific item. Unlike existing methods that use either use supervised learning to distinguish between attack and genuine profiles or analyse target item rating distributions to detect false ratings, our method uses an unsupervised technique to detect false ratings by examining shifts in item preference vectors that exploit rating deviations and user characteristics, making it a promising new direction. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in various attack scenarios, including those involving obfuscation techniques.

Detecting the Adversarially-Learned Injection Attacks via Knowledge Graphs
ABSTRACT: Over the past two decades, many studies have devoted a good deal of attention to detect injection attacks in recommender systems. However, most of the studies mainly focus on detecting the heuristically-generat…

The main goal of group testing is to identify a small number of defective items in a large population of items. A test on a subset of items is positive if the subset contains at least one defective item and negative othe…
