Privacy-preserving recommender system using the data collaboration analysis for distributed datasets.

In order to provide high-quality recommendations for users, it is desirable to share and integrate multiple datasets held by different parties. However, when sharing such distributed datasets, we need to protect personal and confidential information contained in the datasets. To this end, we establi...

description In order to provide high-quality recommendations for users, it is desirable to share and integrate multiple datasets held by different parties. However, when sharing such distributed datasets, we need to protect personal and confidential information contained in the datasets. To this end, we establish a framework for privacy-preserving recommender systems using the data collaboration analysis of distributed datasets. Numerical experiments with two public rating datasets demonstrate that our privacy-preserving method for rating prediction can improve the prediction accuracy for distributed datasets. More precisely, compared to the individual analysis in which each party analyzes only its own dataset, our method reduced prediction errors by an average of 4.5% and up to 7.0%. This study opens up new possibilities for privacy-preserving techniques in recommender systems.
