Privacy fatigue caused by privacy data disclose and the complexity of privacy control has become an important factor influencing people's privacy decision-making behavior. At present, academia mainly studies privacy fatigue as a key determinant to explain the privacy paradox problem, but there is insufficient attention to its influencing factors and specific pathway of occurrence. Exploring the antecedents of privacy fatigue is of great significance for alleviating users' subjective privacy detachment and promoting privacy protection.

Article Synopsis
  • This paper presents a new soft sensor model called TSECIT2FNN-LSTM, designed to improve accuracy in modeling complex processes affected by multiple variables and parameter sensitivity.
  • The model combines Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks with interval type-2 fuzzy inference systems to effectively handle long-term data dependencies and enhance prediction capabilities.
  • Experimental results show that the TSECIT2FNN-LSTM model successfully predicts alcohol concentration in wine and nitrogen oxide emissions in gas turbines with better accuracy than existing models.
