Abstract  

[Objective] This paper tries to improve trust evaluation with feature grouping and combination. The former provides replaceable features while the latter effectively reduces the feature dimensions. [Methods] First, we used the Markov Blanket to analyze the relationship among features based on their abilities to group similar features. Then, we searched within and among groups to combine features with the RVNS methods. [Results] In the case of missing features, the proposed model could effectively provide substitutes for the missing features and yielded stable trust evaluation results. The dimension of features was reduced to 1.7%, and the average accuracy of trust evaluation was above 92%. [Limitations] More research is needed to more effectively extract knowledge from dataset with missing values. [Conclusions] The proposed model could effectively address the missing data in trust evaluation.

分析视角 文献来源 特征及数据缺失情况分析
房客视角 [17-20] 考虑房客评论以及房客自身感知特征,常以调查问卷形式获取数据,数据一般较主观,难以量化和获取。
平台视角 [20-21] 考虑第三方角度,特征基于房客使用感知,常以调查问卷形式获取数据,此类信息依赖房客主观感受,没有统一标准,缺失问题较为严重。
交互视角 [20-24] 考虑两方交互过程,常通过调查问卷和数据爬取相结合获取数据,此类信息存在动态变化过程,需要多方数据同时获取,缺失问题严重。
房源视角 [25] 考虑房东展示的房源信息,常以数据爬取形式获取数据,数据完整性依赖于房东披露的程度。
房东视角 [22,26-30] 考虑房东个人信息或以披露个人信息换取的标识,最有可能触及隐私,数据缺失问题严重。
融合多视角 [20,22] 考虑视角丰富,融合主观数据与客观数据,需要获取多方信息,数据缺失问题是常见问题。
