Abstract:
Social trust assessment that characterizes a pairwise trustworthiness relationship can spur diversified applications. Extensive efforts have been put in exploration, but mainly focusing on applying graph convolutional network to establish a social trust evaluation model, overlooking user feature factors related to context-aware information on social trust prediction. In this article, we aim to design a new trust assessment framework GATrust which integrates multi-aspect properties of users, including user context-specific information, network topological structure information, and locally-generated social trust relationships. GATrust can assigns different attention coefficients to multi-aspect properties of users in online social networks, for improving the prediction accuracy of social trust evaluation. The framework can then learn multiple latent factors of each trustor-trustee pair to establish a social trust evaluation model, by fusing graph attention network and graph convolution network. We conduct extensive experiments on two popular real-world datasets and the results exhibit that our proposed framework can improve the precision of social trust prediction, outperforming the state-of-the-art in the literature by 4.3% and 5.5% on both two datasets, respectively.
