In this work, we propose a novel transparency-enhancing framework for OSN, PrivInferVis, to help people assess and visualize their individual risks of attribute inference derived from public details from their social graphs in different OSN domains. We propose a weighted Bayesian model as the underlying method for attribute inference. A preliminary evaluation shows that our proposal outperforms baseline algorithms on several evaluation metrics significantly. PrivInferVis provides visual interfaces that allow users to explore details about their (inferred and self-disclosed) data and to understand how inference estimates and related scores are derived.enLead Topic: Visual Computing as a ServiceResearch Line: Computer graphics (CG)Research Line: Human computer interaction (HCI)information visualizationprivacy protectionusabilityprivacy enhancing technologiesdata visualizationATHENECRISP004006005conference paper
