Collaborative filtering(CF) techniques learn user and item embeddings from user-item interaction behaviors, and are commonly used in recommendation systems to help users find potentially desirable items. Most CF models optimize recommendation accuracy; however, they may lead to unwanted biases for particular demographic groups. Thus, we focus on learning fair representations of CF-based recommendations. We formulate this problem as an optimization task with two competing goals: embedding representations better meet accuracy requirements of recommendations, and simultaneously obfuscate information hidden in the embedding space, which is related to the users' sensitive attributes for fairness. Here,the intuitive idea is to use fair representation learning from machine learning to train a classifier with a sensitive attribute predictor from the user side to satisfy the fairness goal. However, such fair machine learning models assume entity independence, which differs greatly from CF because users and items are correlated collaboratively via user-item behaviors. Therefore, sensitive user information can be exposed from the users' preferred items. Consequently, defining only fairness constraints on users cannot achieve fairness in recommendation systems. In this paper, we propose FairCF framework for fairness-aware collaborative *** particular, we first define fairness constraints in a fair embedding space, where both a user classifier and an item classifier are employed to fit the fairness constraints. We then design an item classifier without item sensitive labels. The proposed framework can be trained in an end-to-end manner under most embedding based CF models. Extensive experiments conducted on three datasets(Movie Lens-100K, Movie Lens-1M,and Lastfm-360K) clearly demonstrate the superiority of the proposed FairCF framework relative to various fairness metrics(i.e., performance of newly-trained classifiers) than other state-of-the-art fairness-aware CF mode

Random grids are a method for visual secret sharing, whereby a secret image is encoded into a number of shares, each of which is maximally entropic. There has been growing interest in hiding multiple images in a scheme, such that additional images are revealed by stacking the shares in different ways. This paper proposes a metaheuristic method for generating schemes that allow for a wide range of transformations, or even combinations thereof, to reveal an arbitrary number of secret images. Up to 10 multi-secrets are shown in this paper, as well as hiding multiple secrets in a general access structure. To remove noise from these schemes an algorithm is proposed to extract the information from the noise, and in all cases, relative contrasts are given. In one example, six images are hidden in two shares, such that the mean relative contrast under OR-stacking is 0.152, under XOR-stacking 0.278, and with noise removed, it is 0.74. In an example hiding 10 images in two shares, the values are respectively 0.136, 0.206 and 0.679, respectively.
