Social Access And Representation For Autistic Adult Livestreamers, Terrance Mok, Anthony Tang, Adam Mccrimmon, Lora Oehlberg Oct 2022

Social Access And Representation For Autistic Adult Livestreamers, Terrance Mok, Anthony Tang, Adam Mccrimmon, Lora Oehlberg

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We interviewed 10 autistic livestreamers to understand their motivations for livestreaming on Twitch. Our participants explained that streaming helped them fulfill social desires by: supporting them in making meaningful social connections with others; giving them a safe space to practice social skills like “small talk”; and empowering them to be autistic role models and to share their true selves. This work offers an early report on how autistic individuals leverage livestreaming as a beneficial social platform while struggling with audience expectations.

Pixel-Wise Energy-Biased Abstention Learning For Anomaly Segmentation On Complex Urban Driving Scenes, Yu Tian, Yuyuan Liu, Guansong Pang, Fengbei Liu, Yuanhong Chen, Gustavo Carneiro Oct 2022

Pixel-Wise Energy-Biased Abstention Learning For Anomaly Segmentation On Complex Urban Driving Scenes, Yu Tian, Yuyuan Liu, Guansong Pang, Fengbei Liu, Yuanhong Chen, Gustavo Carneiro

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

State-of-the-art (SOTA) anomaly segmentation approaches on complex urban driving scenes explore pixel-wise classification uncertainty learned from outlier exposure, or external reconstruction models. However, previous uncertainty approaches that directly associate high uncertainty to anomaly may sometimes lead to incorrect anomaly predictions, and external reconstruction models tend to be too inefficient for real-time self-driving embedded systems. In this paper, we propose a new anomaly segmentation method, named pixel-wise energy-biased abstention learning (PEBAL), that explores pixel-wise abstention learning (AL) with a model that learns an adaptive pixel-level anomaly class, and an energy-based model (EBM) that learns inlier pixel distribution. More specifically, PEBAL is …

Pros: An Efficient Pattern-Driven Compressive Sensing Framework For Low-Power Biopotential-Based Wearable With On-Chip Intelligence, Nhat Pham, Hong Jia, Minh Tran, Tuan Dinh, Nam Bui, Young Kwon, Dong Ma, Phuc Nguyen, Cecilia Mascolo, Tam Vu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

While the global healthcare market of wearable devices has been growing signi!cantly in recent years and is predicted to reach $60 billion by 2028, many important healthcare applications such as seizure monitoring, drowsiness detection, etc. have not been deployed due to the limited battery lifetime, slow response rate, and inadequate biosignal quality. This study proposes PROS, an e"cient pattern-driven compressive sensing framework for low-power biopotential-based wearables. PROS eliminates the conventional trade-o# between signal quality, response time, and power consumption by introducing tiny pattern recognition primitives and a pattern-driven compressive sensing technique that exploits the sparsity of biosignals. Specifically, we (i) …

Learning Discriminative Representations Via Variational Self-Distillation For Cross-View Geo-Localization, Qian Hu, Wansi Li, Xing Xu, Ning Liu, Lei Wang Oct 2022

Learning Discriminative Representations Via Variational Self-Distillation For Cross-View Geo-Localization, Qian Hu, Wansi Li, Xing Xu, Ning Liu, Lei Wang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Cross-view geo-localization is to localize the same geographic target in images from different perspectives, e.g., satellite-view and drone-view. The primary challenge faced by existing methods is the large visual appearance changes across views. Most previous work utilizes the deep neural network to obtain the discriminative representations and directly uses them to accomplish the geo-localization task. However, these approaches ignore that the redundancy retained in the extracted features negatively impacts the result. In this paper, we argue that the information bottleneck (IB) can retain the most relevant information while removing as much redundancy as possible. The variational self-distillation (VSD) strategy provides …

Pruning The Communication Bandwidth Between Reinforcement Learning Agents Through Causal Inference: An Innovative Approach To Designing A Smart Grid Power System, Xianjie Zhang, Yu Liu, Wenjun Li, Chen Gong Oct 2022

Pruning The Communication Bandwidth Between Reinforcement Learning Agents Through Causal Inference: An Innovative Approach To Designing A Smart Grid Power System, Xianjie Zhang, Yu Liu, Wenjun Li, Chen Gong

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Electricity demands are increasing significantly and the traditional power grid system is facing huge challenges. As the desired next-generation power grid system, smart grid can provide secure and reliable power generation, and consumption, and can also realize the system’s coordinated and intelligent power distribution. Coordinating grid power distribution usually requires mutual communication between power distributors to accomplish coordination. However, the power network is complex, the network nodes are far apart, and the communication bandwidth is often expensive. Therefore, how to reduce the communication bandwidth in the cooperative power distribution process task is crucially important. One way to tackle this problem …

Hierarchical Hourglass Convolutional Network For Efficient Video Classification, Yi Tan, Yanbin Hao, Hao Zhang, Shuo Wang Oct 2022

Hierarchical Hourglass Convolutional Network For Efficient Video Classification, Yi Tan, Yanbin Hao, Hao Zhang, Shuo Wang

PhD Student’s Publications Collection

Videos naturally contain dynamic variation over the temporal axis, which will result in the same visual clues (e.g., semantics, objects) changing their scale, position, and perspective patterns between adjacent frames. A primary trend in video CNN is adopting spatial-2D convolution for spatial semantics and temporal-1D convolution for temporal dynamics. Though the direction achieves a favorable balance between efficiency and efficacy, it suffers from misalignment of visual clues with large displacements. Particularly, rigid temporal convolution would fail to capture correct motions when a specific target moves out of the reception field of temporal convolution between adjacent frames.To tackle large visual displacements …

Unsupervised Video Hashing With Multi-Granularity Contextualization And Multi-Structure Preservation, Yanbin Hao, Jingru Duan, Hao Zhang, Bin Zhu, Pengyuan Zhou, Xiangnan He Oct 2022

Unsupervised Video Hashing With Multi-Granularity Contextualization And Multi-Structure Preservation, Yanbin Hao, Jingru Duan, Hao Zhang, Bin Zhu, Pengyuan Zhou, Xiangnan He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Unsupervised video hashing typically aims to learn a compact binary vector to represent complex video content without using manual annotations. Existing unsupervised hashing methods generally suffer from incomplete exploration of various perspective dependencies (e.g., long-range and short-range) and data structures that exist in visual contents, resulting in less discriminative hash codes. In this paper, we propose aMulti-granularity Contextualized and Multi-Structure preserved Hashing (MCMSH) method, exploring multiple axial contexts for discriminative video representation generation and various structural information for unsupervised learning simultaneously. Specifically, we delicately design three self-gating modules to separately model three granularities of dependencies (i.e., long/middle/short-range dependencies) and densely …

Editing Out-Of-Domain Gan Inversion Via Differential Activations, Haorui Song, Yong Du, Tianyi Xiang, Junyu Dong, Jing Qin, Shengfeng He Oct 2022

Editing Out-Of-Domain Gan Inversion Via Differential Activations, Haorui Song, Yong Du, Tianyi Xiang, Junyu Dong, Jing Qin, Shengfeng He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Despite the demonstrated editing capacity in the latent space of a pretrained GAN model, inverting real-world images is stuck in a dilemma that the reconstruction cannot be faithful to the original input. The main reason for this is that the distributions between training and real-world data are misaligned, and because of that, it is unstable of GAN inversion for real image editing. In this paper, we propose a novel GAN prior based editing framework to tackle the out-of-domain inversion problem with a composition-decomposition paradigm. In particular, during the phase of composition, we introduce a differential activation module for detecting semantic …

On The Optimal Forecast With The Fractional Brownian Motion, Xiaohu Wang, Chen Zhang, Jun Yu Oct 2022

On The Optimal Forecast With The Fractional Brownian Motion, Xiaohu Wang, Chen Zhang, Jun Yu

Research Collection School Of Economics

This paper examines the performance of alternative forecasting formulae with the fractional Brownian motion based on a discrete and finite sample. One formula gives the optimal forecast when a continuous record over the infinite past is available. Another formula gives the optimal forecast when a continuous record over the finite past is available. Alternative discretiza-tion schemes are proposed to approximate these formulae. These alternative discretization schemes are then compared with the conditional expectation of the target variable on the vector of the discrete and finite sample. It is shown that the conditional expectation delivers more accurate forecasts than the discretization-based …

Automatic Pull Request Title Generation, Ting Zhang, Ivana Clairine Irsan, Ferdian Thung, Donggyun Han, David Lo, Lingxiao Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Pull Requests (PRs) are a mechanism on modern collaborative coding platforms, such as GitHub. PRs allow developers to tell others that their code changes are available for merging into another branch in a repository. A PR needs to be reviewed and approved by the core team of the repository before the changes are merged into the branch. Usually, reviewers need to identify a PR that is in line with their interests before providing a review. By default, PRs are arranged in a list view that shows the titles of PRs. Therefore, it is desirable to have a precise and concise …

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Rechtsstrukturvergleichung untersucht die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen den Strukturen einzelner Rechtssysteme. Theoretisch verwurzelt in Systemtheorie und Komplexitätsforschung, modelliert sie Rechtssysteme als Netzwerke von Dokumenten, Organisationen und Individuen. Rechtsstrukturvergleichung nutzt Methoden der Netzwerkanalyse, um diese Netzwerke zu vermessen, ihre Veränderung über die Zeit zu beobachten und mehrere Rechtssysteme quantitativ zu vergleichen. Sie unterscheidet sich von anderen Ansätzen der Rechtsvergleichung in ihren Annahmen, Methoden und Zielen, indem sie die Abhängigkeiten zwischen den Systembestandteilen abbildet und eher datenwissenschaftliche als ökonometrische Werkzeuge einsetzt. Als neuartige Ergänzung des Methodenrepertoires der Rechtsvergleichung eröffnet die Rechtsstrukturvergleichung zahlreiche Möglichkeiten für weitere Forschung auf der Schnittstelle von Rechtsvergleichung und …

Outdoor Thermal Comfort Research In Transient Conditions: A Narrative Literature Review, Yuliya Dzyuban, Graces N. Y. Ching, Sin Kang Yik, Adrian J. Tan, Shreya Banerjee, Peter Jay Crank, Winston T. L. Chow

Research Collection College of Integrative Studies

In recent years, urban planners and designers are paying greater attention to Outdoor Thermal Comfort (OTC) studies due to the imminent threat of the Urban Heat Island and climate change on human health. Historically, indoor thermal comfort research assumed steady-state conditions, centralizing on the concept of thermal neutrality to determine optimal environmental parameters. Such research pivoted to investigating how non-steady-state, transient environmental conditions influence comfort. Recent studies underscore the usefulness of positive alliesthesia in providing a productive framework for OTC evaluation. In this article we first clarify the concepts related to thermal comfort-related terms, scales, and models in the literature. …

Towards Robust Models Of Code Via Energy-Based Learning On Auxiliary Datasets, Duy Quoc Nghi Bui, Yijun Yu Oct 2022

Towards Robust Models Of Code Via Energy-Based Learning On Auxiliary Datasets, Duy Quoc Nghi Bui, Yijun Yu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Existing approaches to improving the robustness of source code models concentrate on recognizing adversarial samples rather than valid samples that fall outside of a given distribution, which we refer to as out-of-distribution (OOD) samples. To this end, we propose to use an auxiliary dataset (out-of-distribution) such that, when trained together with the main dataset, they will enhance the model’s robustness. We adapt energy-bounded learning objective function to assign a higher score to in-distribution samples and a lower score to out-of-distribution samples in order to incorporate such out-of-distribution samples into the training process of source code models. In terms of OOD …

Codebert For Code Clone Detection: A Replication Study, Saad Arshad, Shamsa Abid, Shafay Shamail

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Large pre-trained models have dramatically improved the state-of-the-art on a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks. CodeBERT is one such pre-trained model for natural language (NL) and programming language (PL) which captures the semantics in natural language and programming language, and produces general-purpose representations. While it has been shown to support natural language code search and code documentation generation tasks, its effectiveness for code clone detection is not explored in depth. In this paper, we aim to replicate and evaluate the performance of CodeBERT for code clone detection on multiple datasets with varying functionalities to understand (1) whether CodeBERT …

Semantic code clone detection involves the detection of functionally similar code fragments which may otherwise be lexically, syntactically, or structurally dissimilar. The detection of semantic code clones has important applications in aspect mining and product line analysis. The accurate detection of semantic code clones is a challenging task and various techniques have been proposed. However, the evaluation of these techniques is performed using various datasets and we do not have a clear picture of the performance of these techniques relative to each other. Recently, SemanticCloneBench has been introduced as a benchmark for semantic clones. Now, we can use the SemanticCloneBench …

Dualformer: Local-Global Stratified Transformer For Efficient Video Recognition, Yuxuan Liang, Pan Zhou, Roger Zimmermann, Shuicheng Yan Oct 2022

Dualformer: Local-Global Stratified Transformer For Efficient Video Recognition, Yuxuan Liang, Pan Zhou, Roger Zimmermann, Shuicheng Yan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

While transformers have shown great potential on video recognition with their strong capability of capturing long-range dependencies, they often suffer high computational costs induced by the self-attention to the huge number of 3D tokens. In this paper, we present a new transformer architecture termed DualFormer, which can efficiently perform space-time attention for video recognition. Concretely, DualFormer stratifies the full space-time attention into dual cascaded levels, i.e., to first learn fine-grained local interactions among nearby 3D tokens, and then to capture coarse-grained global dependencies between the query token and global pyramid contexts. Different from existing methods that apply space-time factorization or …

Self-Promoted Supervision For Few-Shot Transformer, Bowen Dong, Pan Zhou, Shuicheng Yan, Wangmeng Zuo Oct 2022

Self-Promoted Supervision For Few-Shot Transformer, Bowen Dong, Pan Zhou, Shuicheng Yan, Wangmeng Zuo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The few-shot learning ability of vision transformers (ViTs) is rarely investigated though heavily desired. In this work, we empirically find that with the same few-shot learning frameworks, e.g. MetaBaseline, replacing the widely used CNN feature extractor with a ViT model often severely impairs few-shot classification performance. Moreover, our empirical study shows that in the absence of inductive bias, ViTs often learn the low-qualified token dependencies under few-shot learning regime where only a few labeled training data are available, which largely contributes to the above performance degradation. To alleviate this issue, for the first time, we propose a simple yet effective …

Video Graph Transformer For Video Question Answering, Junbin Xiao, Pan Zhou, Tat-Seng Chua, Shuicheng Yan Oct 2022

Video Graph Transformer For Video Question Answering, Junbin Xiao, Pan Zhou, Tat-Seng Chua, Shuicheng Yan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper proposes a Video Graph Transformer (VGT) model for Video Quetion Answering (VideoQA). VGT’s uniqueness are two-fold: 1) it designs a dynamic graph transformer module which encodes video by explicitly capturing the visual objects, their relations, and dynamics for complex spatio-temporal reasoning; and 2) it exploits disentangled video and text Transformers for relevance comparison between the video and text to perform QA, instead of entangled crossmodal Transformer for answer classification. Vision-text communication is done by additional cross-modal interaction modules. With more reasonable video encoding and QA solution, we show that VGT can achieve much better performances on VideoQA tasks …

Mix-Dann And Dynamic-Modal-Distillation For Video Domain Adaptation, Yuehao Yin, Bin Zhu, Jingjing Chen, Lechao Cheng, Yu-Gang Jiang Oct 2022

Mix-Dann And Dynamic-Modal-Distillation For Video Domain Adaptation, Yuehao Yin, Bin Zhu, Jingjing Chen, Lechao Cheng, Yu-Gang Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Video domain adaptation is non-trivial due to video is inherently involved with multi-dimensional and multi-modal information. Existing works mainly adopt adversarial learning and self-supervised tasks to align features. Nevertheless, the explicit interaction between source and target in the temporal dimension, as well as the adaptation between modalities, are unexploited. In this paper, we propose Mix-Domain-Adversarial Neural Network and Dynamic-Modal-Distillation (MD-DMD), a novel multi-modal adversarial learning framework for unsupervised video domain adaptation. Our approach incorporates the temporal information between source and target domains, as well as the diversity of adaptability between modalities. On the one hand, for every single modality, we …

Physical Adversarial Attack On A Robotic Arm, Yifan Jia, Christopher M. Poskitt, Jun Sun, Sudipta Chattopadhyay

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Collaborative Robots (cobots) are regarded as highly safety-critical cyber-physical systems (CPSs) owing to their close physical interactions with humans. In settings such as smart factories, they are frequently augmented with AI. For example, in order to move materials, cobots utilize object detectors based on deep learning models. Deep learning, however, has been demonstrated as vulnerable to adversarial attacks: a minor change (noise) to benign input can fool the underlying neural networks and lead to a different result. While existing works have explored such attacks in the context of picture/object classification, less attention has been given to attacking neural networks used …

Guaranteeing Timed Opacity Using Parametric Timed Model Checking, Étienne André, Didier Lime, Dylan Marinho, Jun Sun

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Information leakage can have dramatic consequences on systems security. Among harmful information leaks, the timing information leakage occurs whenever an attacker successfully deduces confidential internal information. In this work, we consider that the attacker has access (only) to the system execution time. We address the following timed opacity problem: given a timed system, a private location and a final location, synthesize the execution times from the initial location to the final location for which one cannot deduce whether the system went through the private location. We also consider the full timed opacity problem, asking whether the system is opaque for …

Adaptive Structural Similarity Preserving For Unsupervised Cross Modal Hashing, Liang Li, Baihua Zheng, Weiwei Sun

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Relation Extraction (RE) is a vital step to complete Knowledge Graph (KG) by extracting entity relations from texts. However, it usually suffers from the long-tail issue. The training data mainly concentrates on a few types of relations, leading to the lack of sufficient annotations for the remaining types of relations. In this paper, we propose a general approach to learn relation prototypes from unlabeled texts, to facilitate the long-tail relation extraction by transferring knowledge from the relation types with sufficient training data. We learn relation prototypes as an implicit factor between entities, which reflects the meanings of relations as well …

Ergo: Event Relational Graph Transformer For Document-Level Event Causality Identification, Meiqi Chen, Yixin Cao, Kunquan Deng, Mukai Li, Kun Wang, Jing Shao, Yan Zhang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Document-level Event Causality Identification (DECI) aims to identify event-event causal relations in a document. Existing works usually build an event graph for global reasoning across multiple sentences. However, the edges between events have to be carefully designed through heuristic rules or external tools. In this paper, we propose a novel Event Relational Graph TransfOrmer (ERGO) framework1 for DECI, to ease the graph construction and improve it over the noisy edge issue. Different from conventional event graphs, we define a pair of events as a node and build a complete event relational graph without any prior knowledge or tools. This naturally …

Interactive Video Corpus Moment Retrieval Using Reinforcement Learning, Zhixin Ma, Chong-Wah Ngo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Known-item video search is effective with human-in-the-loop to interactively investigate the search result and refine the initial query. Nevertheless, when the first few pages of results are swamped with visually similar items, or the search target is hidden deep in the ranked list, finding the know-item target usually requires a long duration of browsing and result inspection. This paper tackles the problem by reinforcement learning, aiming to reach a search target within a few rounds of interaction by long-term learning from user feedbacks. Specifically, the system interactively plans for navigation path based on feedback and recommends a potential target that …
