• Abstract: Trust evaluation is an important topic in both research and applications in sociable environments. This paper presents a model for trust evaluation between agents by the combination of direct trust, indirect trust through neighbouring links and the reputation of an agent in the environment (i.e. social network) to provide the robust evaluation. Our approach is typology independent from social network structures and in a decentralized manner without a central controller, so it can be used in broad domains.

  Trust and Reputation Assessment of service providers in citizen-focused environments like e-commerce is vital to maintain the integrity of the interactions among agents. We propose a novel Distributed Online Life-Long Learning (DOL3) algorithm that involves real-time rapid learning of trust and reputation scores of providers.

• Using Deep Q-Learning to Dynamically Toggle between Push/Pull Actions in Computational Trust Mechanisms [0.0]
  In previous work, we compared CA to FIRE, a well-known trust and reputation model, and found that CA is superior when the trustor population changes. We frame this problem as a machine learning problem in a partially observable environment, where the presence of several dynamic factors is not known to the trustor. We show that an adaptable agent is indeed capable of learning when to use each model and, thus, perform consistently in dynamic environments.

  Trust is the reliance and confidence an agent has in the information, behaviors, intentions, truthfulness, and capabilities of others within the system. This paper introduces a new graphical approach that utilizes factor graphs to represent the interdependent behaviors and trustworthiness among agents. Our method for evaluating trust is decentralized and considers key interdependent sub-factors such as proximity safety, consistency, and cooperation.

  We propose TrustGuard, a GNN-based accurate trust evaluation model that supports trust dynamicity. TrustGuard is designed with a layered architecture that contains a snapshot input layer, a spatial aggregation layer, a temporal aggregation layer, and a prediction layer. Experiments show that TrustGuard outperforms state-of-the-art GNN-based trust evaluation models with respect to trust prediction across single-timeslot and multi-timeslot.

  Social Internet of Things (SIoT) is a promising and emerging paradigm that injects the notion of social networking into smart objects (i.e., things) Due to the risks and uncertainty, a crucial and urgent problem to be settled is establishing reliable relationships within SIoT, that is, trust evaluation. We propose a novel knowledge-enhanced graph neural network (KGTrust) for better trust evaluation in SIoT.

  We take a first step towards investigating the interplay between empirical and certified adversarial robustness on one hand and domain generalization on another. We train robust models on multiple domains and evaluate their accuracy and robustness on an unseen domain. We extend our study to cover a real-world medical application, in which adversarial augmentation significantly boosts the generalization of robustness with minimal effect on clean data accuracy.

  Trust evaluation is critical for many applications such as cyber security, social communication and recommender systems.

Specifically, TrustGNN designs specific propagative patterns for different propagative processes of trust, and distinguishes the contribution of different propagative processes to create new trust.
