Disclose More and Risk Less: Privacy Preserving Online Social Network Data Sharing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Many third-party services and applications have integrated the login services of popular Online Social Networks, such as Facebook and Google+, and acquired user information to enrich their services by requesting user's permission. Although users can control the information disclosed to the third parties in a certain granularity, there are still serious privacy risks due to the inference attack. Even if users conceal their sensitive information, attackers can infer their secrets by exploiting the correlations among private and public information with background knowledge. To defend against such attacks, we formulate the social network data sharing problem through an optimization-based approach, which maximizes the users' self-disclosure utility while preserving their privacy. We propose two privacy-preserving social network data sharing methods to counter the inference attack. One is the efficiency-based privacy-preserving disclosure algorithm (EPPD) targeting the high utility, and the other is to convert the original problem into a multi-dimensional knapsack problem (d-KP) using greedy heuristics with a low computational complexity. We use real-world social network datasets to evaluate the performance. From the results, the proposed methods achieve a better performance when compared with the existing ones.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
