Mobility data are highly sensitive. Therefore, the correct identification of the privacy risk before releasing the data to the public is of utmost importance. However, existing privacy risk assessment frameworks have high computational complexity. To tackle these issues, some recent work proposed a solution based on classification approaches to predict privacy risk using mobility features extracted from the data. In this paper, we propose an improvement of this approach by applying long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks to predict the privacy risk directly from original mobility data. We empirically evaluate privacy risk on real data by applying our LSTM-based approach. Results show that our proposed method based on a LSTM network is effective in predicting the privacy risk with results in terms of F1 of up~to 0.91. Moreover, to explain the predictions of our model, we employ a state-of-the-art explanation algorithm, Shap. We explore the resulting explanation, showing how it is possible to provide effective predictions while explaining them to the end-user.}, isbn = {978-3-030-65965-3}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-65965-3_34}, url = {https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-65965-3_34}, author = {Francesca Naretto and Roberto Pellungrini and Nardini, Franco Maria and Fosca Giannotti}, editor = {Koprinska, Irena and Kamp, Michael and Appice, Annalisa and Loglisci, Corrado and Antonie, Luiza and Zimmermann, Albrecht and Riccardo Guidotti and {\"O}zg{\"o}bek, {\"O}zlem and Ribeiro, Rita P. and Gavald{\`a}, Ricard and Gama, Jo{\~a}o and Adilova, Linara and Krishnamurthy, Yamuna and Ferreira, Pedro M. and Malerba, Donato and Medeiros, Ib{\'e}ria and Ceci, Michelangelo and Manco, Giuseppe and Masciari, Elio and Ras, Zbigniew W. and Christen, Peter and Ntoutsi, Eirini and Schubert, Erich and Zimek, Arthur and Anna Monreale and Biecek, Przemyslaw and S Rinzivillo and Kille, Benjamin and Lommatzsch, Andreas and Gulla, Jon Atle} }
