• Abstract: The past decade has seen tremendous shifts in how people live, work, and buy goods, with an increased reliance on e-commerce and deliveries. Purchase histories generated through e-commerce can be highly personal, revealing identifying information about individuals and households. Constructing profiles from these data allows for the targeting of individuals and communities through practices such as targeted marketing and information campaigns. Furthermore, when purchase profiles are connected with delivery addresses, these data can measure the demographics of a local community and allow for individualized targeting to reach beyond the digital realm to the physical one. Events that accelerated shifts towards e-commerce, such as an infectious disease epidemic, have also widened equity gaps. This work is about alternative e-commerce delivery network models that address both rising privacy and wealth inequality concerns. This includes strategies that mask and add noise to purchase histories, and allow people to "buy privacy" through charitable contributions.

  Concerns about the privacy and security of personal information shared on e-commerce platforms have risen. We examine a selection of popular online e-shops, revealing that nearly 30% of them violate user privacy by disclosing personal information to third parties. We observe significant data-sharing patterns with platforms like Facebook, which use personal information to build user profiles and link them to social media accounts.

  Information retrieval has a natural role to play in e-commerce, especially in connecting people to goods and services. The rise in popularity of e-commerce sites has made research on information discovery in e-commerce an increasingly active research area. Methods for information discovery in e-commerce largely focus on improving the effectiveness of e-commerce search and recommender systems.

  This paper characterizes the impact of Differential Privacy on bias and unfairness in the context of releasing information about networks. We consider a network release problem where the network structure is known to all, but the weights on edges must be released privately. Our work provides theoretical foundations and empirical evidence into the bias and unfairness arising due to privacy in these networked decision problems.

  In this paper, we take advantage of the inherent properties of neural networks to federate the process of training of survival analysis models. In the realistic setting of small medical datasets and only a few data centers, this noise makes it harder for the models to converge. We propose DPFed-post which adds a post-processing stage to the private federated learning scheme.

  We propose to predict consumers' purchases based on their facial features and purchasing histories. We design a semi-supervised model based on a hierarchical embedding network to extract high-level features of consumers. Our experimental results on a real-world dataset demonstrate the positive effect of incorporating facial information in predicting consumers' purchasing behaviors.
