让用户自由选择分享数据,并能随时撤回,提升推荐系统隐私与性能。

Federated Learning and Unlearning for Recommendation with Personalized Data Sharing

  • 允许用户按意愿分享数据,动态调整隐私偏好。
  • 支持数据撤回,仅用少量历史嵌入快照即可移除影响。
  • 减少存储开销,推荐效果优于现有方法。

联邦推荐系统(FedRS)通过将用户交互数据保留在本地设备上,由中心服务器协调模型训练,以保护用户隐私。然而,现有方法普遍采用统一隐私策略,强制所有用户本地保留数据,忽略了愿意共享数据以换取更好推荐体验的用户。尽管已有研究探索个性化数据共享,但均假设隐私偏好固定,无法处理用户撤销已共享数据及其对模型影响的需求。为此,我们提出FedShare框架,支持个性化数据共享与数据撤回。该框架利用共享数据构建服务端高阶用户-物品图,并通过对比学习联合对齐本地与全局表示。在去学习阶段,设计了一种对比去学习机制,仅需少量历史嵌入快照即可选择性移除由未共享数据引发的表示,避免了传统方法对大量历史梯度信息的存储需求。在三个公开数据集上的实验表明,FedShare在学习和去学习阶段均实现优异推荐性能,且去学习阶段存储开销显著低于当前最优基线。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Federated recommender systems (FedRS) have emerged as a paradigm for protecting user privacy by keeping interaction data on local devices while coordinating model training through a central server. However, most existing federated recommender systems adopt a one-size-fits-all assumption on user privacy, where all users are required to keep their data strictly local. This setting overlooks users who are willing to share their data with the server in exchange for better recommendation performance. Although several recent studies have explored personalized user data sharing in FedRS, they assume static user privacy preferences and cannot handle user requests to remove previously shared data and its corresponding influence on the trained model. To address this limitation, we propose FedShare, a federated learn-unlearn framework for recommender systems with personalized user data sharing. FedShare not only allows users to control how much interaction data is shared with the server, but also supports data unsharing requests by removing the influence of the unshared data from the trained model. Specifically, FedShare leverages shared data to construct a server-side high-order user-item graph and uses contrastive learning to jointly align local and global representations. In the unlearning phase, we design a contrastive unlearning mechanism that selectively removes representations induced by the unshared data using a small number of historical embedding snapshots, avoiding the need to store large amounts of historical gradient information as required by existing federated recommendation unlearning methods. Extensive experiments on three public datasets demonstrate that FedShare achieves strong recommendation performance in both the learning and unlearning phases, while significantly reducing storage overhead in the unlearning phase compared with state-of-the-art baselines.
