TL;DR
The paper tackles the challenge of delivering personalized, privacy-preserving content filtering in social networks by integrating context-aware GPT-based models with a federated learning framework. It introduces a User Persona Profiler that combines Engagement, Sentiment, and Readability into per-category scores, and uses these to drive a category-specific content ranking and filtering pipeline. The system employs federated aggregation to train models across distributed clients, a context-based GPT for post categorization, and an adaptive feedback loop to refine recommendations in real time, including readability-based spam filtering. The proposed architecture aims to balance highly personalized content with strong privacy guarantees, enabling scalable, real-time social feed adaptation while safeguarding user data.
Abstract
Our study presents a multifaceted approach to enhancing user interaction and content relevance in social media platforms through a federated learning framework. We introduce personalized GPT and Context-based Social Media LLM models, utilizing federated learning for privacy and security. Four client entities receive a base GPT-2 model and locally collected social media data, with federated aggregation ensuring up-to-date model maintenance. Subsequent modules focus on categorizing user posts, computing user persona scores, and identifying relevant posts from friends' lists. A quantifying social engagement approach, coupled with matrix factorization techniques, facilitates personalized content suggestions in real-time. An adaptive feedback loop and readability score algorithm also enhance the quality and relevance of content presented to users. Our system offers a comprehensive solution to content filtering and recommendation, fostering a tailored and engaging social media experience while safeguarding user privacy.
