Tutorial on Robustness of Recommender Systems What is Robustness? Profile Injection Attacks Defining the Problem Recommender Systems use personal information about end-users to make useful personalised recommendations. When ratings are provided explicitly, recommender algorithms have been designed on the assumption that the provided information is correct. However . . . “One can have, some claim, as many electronic personas as one has time and energy to create” –Judith Donath (1998) as quoted in Douceur (2002) How does the system perform if multiple identities are used to try to deliberately bias the recommender output?
