• Abstract: Recommendation services are extensively adopted in several user-centered applications as a tool to alleviate the information overload problem and help users in orienteering in a vast space of possible choices. In such scenarios, data ownership is a crucial concern since users may not be willing to share their sensitive preferences (e.g., visited locations) with a central server. Unfortunately, data harvesting and collection is at the basis of modern, state-of-the-art approaches to recommendation. To address this issue, we present FPL, an architecture in which users collaborate in training a central factorization model while controlling the amount of sensitive data leaving their devices. The proposed approach implements pair-wise learning-to-rank optimization by following the Federated Learning principles, originally conceived to mitigate the privacy risks of traditional machine learning. The public implementation is available at https://split.to/sisinflab-fpl.

  Reinforcement learning methods have been used to optimize long-term user engagement in recommendation systems. One potential solution is to aggregate data from various platforms in a centralized location and use the aggregated data for training. This approach raises economic and legal concerns, including increased communication costs and potential threats to user privacy. We propose textbfFedSlate, a federated reinforcement learning recommendation algorithm that effectively utilizes information that is prohibited from being shared at a legal level.

  FedCL can exploit high-quality negative samples for effective model training with privacy well protected. We first infer user embeddings from local user data through the local model on each client, and then perturb them with local differential privacy (LDP) Since individual user embedding contains heavy noise due to LDP, we propose to cluster user embeddings on the server to mitigate the influence of noise.
