Practical Cross-system Shilling Attacks with Limited Access to Data
In shilling attacks, an adversarial party injects a few fake user profiles
into a Recommender System (RS) so that the target item can be promoted or
demoted. Although much effort has been devoted to developing shilling attack
methods, we find that existing approaches are still far from practical. In this
paper, we analyze the properties a practical shilling attack method should have
and propose a new concept of Cross-system Attack. With the idea of Cross-system
Attack, we design a Practical Cross-system Shilling Attack (PC-Attack)
framework that requires little information about the victim RS model and the
target RS data for conducting attacks. PC-Attack is trained to capture graph
topology knowledge from public RS data in a self-supervised manner. Then, it is
fine-tuned on a small portion of target data that is easy to access to
construct fake profiles. Extensive experiments have demonstrated the
superiority of PC-Attack over state-of-the-art baselines. Our implementation of
PC-Attack is available at https://github.com/KDEGroup/PC-Attack.Comment: Accepted by AAAI 202
Global and partitioned reconstructions of undirected complex networks
It is a significant challenge to predict the network topology from a small
amount of dynamical observations. Different from the usual framework of the
node-based reconstruction, two optimization approaches (i.e., the global and
partitioned reconstructions) are proposed to infer the structure of undirected
networks from dynamics. These approaches are applied to evolutionary games
occurring on both homogeneous and heterogeneous networks via compressed
sensing, which can more efficiently achieve higher reconstruction accuracy with
relatively small amounts of data. Our approaches provide different perspectives
on effectively reconstructing complex networks.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, 1 table; revised version; added numerical results

A New ZrCuSiAs-Type Superconductor: ThFeAsN
We report the first nitrogen-containing iron-pnictide superconductor ThFeAsN,
which is synthesized by a solid-state reaction in an evacuated container. The
compound crystallizes in a ZrCuSiAs-type structure with the space group P4/nmm
and lattice parameters a=4.0367(1) {\AA} and c=8.5262(2) {\AA} at 300 K. The
electrical resistivity and dc magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate
superconductivity at 30 K for the nominally undoped ThFeAsN.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
