Cover Story: Our paper introduces Phase-Adaptive Federated Learning (PAFL), a novel framework for privacy-preserving personalized travel itinerary generation. PAFL dynamically balances privacy and utility through a tunable phase parameter, inspired by phase-change materials. It combines differential privacy with gradient inversion to optimize recommendations while protecting sensitive user data. The experimental results show that PAFL outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving 18.7% higher recommendation accuracy and 62% lower privacy risks. The framework is scalable, efficient, and ideal for mobile deployment in travel applications. View this paper
