• Title: From Data Leverage to Data Co-Ops: An Institutional Model for User Control over Information Access
• Authors: Caleb Malchik and Joan Feigenbaum
• Abstract summary: We propose an institution representing the interests of users, the data co-op. We present one possible instantiation of the data co-op, including the Platform for Untrusted Resource Evaluation. We also describe PURESearch, a client program that re-ranks search results according to labels provided by data co-ops and other sources.

• Abstract: Internet companies derive value from users by recording and influencing their behavior. Users can pressure companies to refrain from certain invasive and manipulative practices by selectively withdrawing their attention, an exercise of data leverage as formulated by Vincent et al. Ligett and Nissim's proposal for an institution representing the interests of users, the data co-op, offers a means of coordinating this action. We present one possible instantiation of the data co-op, including the Platform for Untrusted Resource Evaluation (PURE), a system for assigning labels provided by untrusted and semi-trusted parties to Internet resources. We also describe PURESearch, a client program that re-ranks search results according to labels provided by data co-ops and other sources.

  Federated recommender systems have been enhanced through data sharing and continuous model updates. Given the sensitivity of IoT data, transparent data processing in data sharing and model updates is paramount. Existing methods fall short in tracing the flow of shared data and the evolution of model updates. We present LIBERATE, a privacy-traceable federated recommender system.

  In cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning, a team of agents must jointly optimize the team's long-term rewards to learn a designated task. Privacy-Engineered Value Decomposition Networks (PE-VDN) models multi-agent coordination while safeguarding the confidentiality of the agents' environment interaction data. We implement PE-VDN in StarCraft Multi-Agent Competition (SMAC) and show that it achieves 80% of Vanilla VDN's win rate.
