METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INCENTIVIZING TRUTHFUL DATA REPORTING

摘要

A method and an apparatus for generating a privacy-preserving behavior predictor with incentive are provided, derived from verifiable and non-verifiable attributes from a plurality of agents. The privacy-preserving behavior predictor is based on regression (e.g., ridge-regression), is ε-differentially private and the incentive in the form of payments to each agent are ε-jointly differentially private. A method and an apparatus for generating a recommendation are also provided, derived from verifiable attributes from an agent and the ε-differentially private behavior predictor with incentive.

1. A method of generating a privacy-preserving behavior predictor with incentives, said method performed by an apparatus and comprising:
receiving verifiable and reported non-verifiable attributes for each agent of a plurality of agents; generating a first behavior predictor based on regression over said attributes; generating an ε-differentially private behavior predictor by adding noise tosaid first behavior predictor; generating ε-jointly differentially private payments per agent; and providing said ε-jointly differentially private payment o each agent and said ε-differentially-private behavior predictor.
