• Abstract: Smart devices, such as smart speakers, are becoming ubiquitous, and users expect these devices to act in accordance with their preferences. In particular, since these devices gather and manage personal data, users expect them to adhere to their privacy preferences. However, the current approach of gathering these preferences consists in asking the users directly, which usually triggers automatic responses failing to capture their true preferences. In response, in this paper we present a collaborative filtering approach to predict user preferences as norms. These preference predictions can be readily adopted or can serve to assist users in determining their own preferences. Using a dataset of privacy preferences of smart assistant users, we test the accuracy of our predictions.

  The Internet of Things (IoT) devices are rapidly increasing in popularity, with more individuals using Internet-connected devices that continuously monitor their activities. This work explores privacy concerns and expectations of end-users related to Trigger-Action platforms (TAPs) in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) TAPs allow users to customize their smart environments by creating rules that trigger actions based on specific events or conditions.

  Capturing the dynamics in user preference is crucial to better predict user future behaviors because user preferences often drift over time. Many existing recommendation algorithms -- including both shallow and deep ones -- often model such dynamics independently. This paper considers the problem of embedding a user's sequential behavior into the latent space of user preferences.

  Privacy and ethics of citizens are at the core of the concerns raised by our increasingly digital society. We focus on the privacy dimension and contribute a step in the above direction through an empirical study on an existing dataset collected from the fitness domain. The results reveal that a compact set of semantic-driven questions helps distinguish users better than a complex domain-dependent one.
