From: Human intuition as a defense against attribute inference
The general outline of our experiment. We focus on three attributes: (i) the gender of the author based on the text of the review, (ii) the location of origin based on a set of pictures, and (iii) the undisclosed link based on the structure of a social network. For each of these attributes, we consider the eye task, which involves inferring the attribute based on available data, and the shield task, which involves modifying the data in order to make it harder for an AI algorithm to infer the attribute. Each of the six tasks is given to two types of agents: people (participants recruited online), and AI (algorithms trained on data), in order to compare their performance.
