Abstract

The input to recommender systems is typically provided through open platforms. Almost anyone can register and submit a review at sites such as Amazon.com and Epinions.com. Like any other data-mining system, the effectiveness of a recommender system depends almost exclusively on the quality of the data available to it. Unfortunately, there are significant motivations for participants to submit incorrect feedback about items for personal gain or for malicious reasons:

The ROC curve is used in a different context here than in Chapter 7 In Chapter 7, the ROC curve measures the effectiveness of ranking items for recommendations. Here, we measure the effectiveness of ranking user profiles based on their likelihood of being fake. However, the general principle of using the ROC curve is similar in both cases, because a ranking is compared with the binary ground-truth in both cases.
