AbstractIn this paper, differential privacy protection method is applied to matrix factorization method that used to solve the recommendation problem. For centralized recommendation scenarios, a collaborative filtering recommendation model based on matrix factorization is established, and a matrix factorization mechanism satisfying e-differential privacy is proposed. Firstly, the potential characteristic matrix of users and projects is constructed. Secondly, noise is added to the matrix by the method of target disturbance, which satisfies the differential privacy constraint, then the noise matrix factorization model is obtained. The parameters of the model are obtained by the stochastic gradient descent algorithm. Finally, the differential privacy matrix factorization model is used for score prediction. The effectiveness of the algorithm is evaluated on the public datasets including Movielens and Netflix. The experimental results show that compared with the existing typical recommendation methods, the new matrix factorization method with privacy protection can recommend within a certain range of recommendation accuracy loss while protecting the users' privacy information.
