Investigating the effectiveness of profile injecting attack against recommender system
1.1 Background of the study
Collaborative recommender system is referred to as exceedingly susceptible to particularly
profile injection attacks; particularly these hits include inclusion of various predisposed
profiles into ratings of catalogue for altering the specific recommendation behaviour of the
scheme (Yang et al. 2017). Previous work was reflected at the time when profiles are mainly
reverse engineered for the maximizing the influence, yet a small amount of malevolent
outlines can considerably prejudice the entire arrangement.
1.2 Statement of problem
The recommender system becomes a tack of numerous sites for e-commerce, however
considerable susceptibilities are said to be existent in these kinds of systems when
encountered with what is known as “shilling attacks” (Yang et al. 2017). The current study
has the need to identify a specific approach for detection of profile injection attacks with
monitored cataloguing.
1.3 Aims as well as objectives
The current study aims to check up and analyses effectiveness of profile injecting attack
against recommender system. The study also intends to examine various vulnerabilities of
different recommendation techniques. In addition to this, this study also aims to recognize
diverse models of attack, founded on different suppositions regarding knowledge of the
attacker as well as intent.
