A privacy system includes a computing device configured to obtain user transactional data characterizing at least one transaction of a user on an ecommerce marketplace and to determine a privacy vulnerability score of the user by comparing the transactional data to a user vulnerability distribution. The computing device is also configured to send the privacy vulnerability score to a personalization engine.

Methods and apparatuses for identifying privacy-sensitive users in recommender systems

A recommender system can include a defender computing device that is configured to obtain customer interaction data characterizing customer interactions with an ecommerce marketplace. The defender computing device can also be configured to determine an item recommendation based on the customer interaction data using a trained differentially private recommendation model and send the item recommendation to the customer. The trained differentially private recommendation model is more likely to determine the same item recommendation after poisoned data is injected into the customer interaction data than a recommendation model that is not privately trained.

Methods and apparatuses for defending against data poisoning attacks in recommender systems

This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically detecting attacks to advertisement systems. In some examples, a computing device trains a machine learning process based on a training dataset. The training dataset may be an identified portion of a website session dataset that includes a lower percentage of malicious data caused by attacks than other portions, or may include no malicious data. Once trained, the computing device generates features from a website session dataset for a customer, and applies the trained machine learning process to the generated features to detect malicious data within the website session dataset for the customer. Further, the computing device may filter the website session data to remove the detected malicious data, and may store the filtered website session data within a data repository. The computing device may provide the filtered website session data to a recommendation system to generate item recommendations for the customer.
