Trust propagation algorithm based on learning automata for inferring local trust in online social networks

作者:

Highlights:

• We present a new strategy for aggregating trust values derived from multiple paths.

• We propose a trust propagation algorithm based on distributed learning automata.

• We present empirical evaluations based on well-known trust propagation algorithms.

• Using the proposed aggregation strategy increases the accuracy of trust inference.

• The proposed algorithm can efficiently predict trust with a high accuracy.
