Coresets For Clustering Under Stochastic Noise, Lingxiao Huang, Zhize Li, Nisheeth K. Vishnoi, Runkai Yang, Haoyu Zhao Dec 2025

Coresets For Clustering Under Stochastic Noise, Lingxiao Huang, Zhize Li, Nisheeth K. Vishnoi, Runkai Yang, Haoyu Zhao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We study the problem of constructing coresets for $(k, z)$-clustering when the input dataset is corrupted by stochastic noise drawn from a known distribution. In this setting, evaluating the quality of a coreset is inherently challenging, as the true underlying dataset is unobserved. To address this, we investigate coreset construction using surrogate error metrics that are tractable and provably related to the true clustering cost. We analyze a traditional metric from prior work and introduce a new error metric that more closely aligns with the true cost. Although our metric is defined independently of the noise distribution, it enables approximation …

Generalization Bounds For Rank‑Sparse Neural Networks, Antoine Ledent, Rodrigo Alves, Yunwen Lei Dec 2025

Generalization Bounds For Rank‑Sparse Neural Networks, Antoine Ledent, Rodrigo Alves, Yunwen Lei

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

It has been recently observed in much of the literature that neural networks exhibit a bottleneck rank property: for larger depths, the activation and weights of neural networks trained with gradient-based methods tend to be of approximately low rank. In fact, the rank of the activations of each layer converges to a fixed value referred to as the “bottleneck rank”, which is the minimum rank required to represent the training data. This perspective is in line with the observation that regularizing linear networks (without activations) with weight decay is equivalent to minimizing the Schatten p quasi norm of the neural …

Sempo: Lightweight Foundation Models For Time Series Forecasting, Hui He, Kun Yi, Yuanchi Ma, Qi Zhang, Zhengdong Niu, Guansong Pang Dec 2025

Sempo: Lightweight Foundation Models For Time Series Forecasting, Hui He, Kun Yi, Yuanchi Ma, Qi Zhang, Zhengdong Niu, Guansong Pang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The recent boom of large pre-trained models witnesses remarkable success in developing foundation models (FMs) for time series forecasting. Despite impressive performance across diverse downstream forecasting tasks, existing time series FMs possess massive network architectures and require substantial pre-training on large-scale datasets, which significantly hinders their deployment in resource-constrained environments. In response to this growing tension between versatility and affordability, we propose SEMPO, a novel lightweight foundation model that requires pretraining on relatively small-scale data, yet exhibits strong general time series forecasting. Concretely, SEMPO comprises two key modules: 1) energy-aware SpEctral decomposition module, that substantially improves the utilization of pre-training …

Design Principles For Customer‑Engaging Digital Service Systems: An Action Research Study, Keng Siau, Xiaofeng Chen, Xin Tan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Digital services represent a business approach employed by organizations to operate in the digital environment. However, systematic development guidelines for developing quality digital service systems are lacking in the literature. The authors identified four general challenges for developing and implementing customer-engaging digital service systems (CEDSS). By employing the method of canonical action research in a digital service system project, they derived 10 design principles for developing high-quality CEDSS. They empirically evaluated the design principles in the development project and through follow-up focus group sessions. The design principles provide applicable and actionable guidelines for the development of CEDSS.

Accuracy-Enabling Differential Privacy-Preserving Truth Discovery, Man Zhang, Xinghua Li, Yinbin Miao, Bin Luo, Siqi Ma, Robert H. Deng Dec 2025

Accuracy-Enabling Differential Privacy-Preserving Truth Discovery, Man Zhang, Xinghua Li, Yinbin Miao, Bin Luo, Siqi Ma, Robert H. Deng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Perturbation-based privacy-preserving truth discovery requires the Service Provider (SP) to calculate the truthful aggregation result from perturbed data of the Data Sources (DSs), which inevitably damages the aggregation accuracy due to perturbation noise added in the data. Thus, the existing works attempt to relieve the perturbation errors by reducing noise amounts or adjusting aggregation weights of DSs. However, the former sacrifices DSs’ privacy preservation and the latter has the limited accuracy recovery performance. Aiming at it, we propose an accuracy-enabling differential privacy-preserving truth discovery consisting of an independence-guaranteed data perturbation module and a progressive-private noise elimination module. Specifically, in the …

Bias Testing And Mitigation In Llm-Based Code Generation, Dong Huang, Jie M. Zhang, Qingwen Bu, Xiaofei Xie, Junjie Chen, Heming Cui

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

As the adoption of LLMs becomes more widespread in software coding ecosystems, a pressing issue has emerged: does the generated code contain social bias and unfairness, such as those related to age, gender, and race? This issue concerns the integrity, fairness, and ethical foundation of software applications that depend on the code generated by these models but are underexplored in the literature. This paper presents a novel bias testing framework that is specifically designed for code generation tasks. Based on this framework, we conduct an extensive empirical study on the biases in code generated by five widely studied LLMs (i.e., …

A Rate-Dependent Coreset Selector For Continual Learning On Time-Varying Data Distributions, Zilin Luo, Zichen Tian, Yaoyao Liu, Qianru Sun Dec 2025

A Rate-Dependent Coreset Selector For Continual Learning On Time-Varying Data Distributions, Zilin Luo, Zichen Tian, Yaoyao Liu, Qianru Sun

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this paper we review the concept of “phase” defined in Class-Incremental Learning (CIL), i.e., learning new classes while not forgetting old ones. Due to this design, classic CIL algorithms are mostly offline or can handle only intensive data distribution shifts across the phases. However, real-world data streams are often online, usually with uncertain or untraceable changes in their data distributions. To this end, we design the per-step distribution shifts by modeling the class sampling weights using bell-shaped curves. Such a design respects the rise-and-fall nature and presents realistic but underexplored challenges for CIL: 1) The data non-stationarity across steps …

Genscore: Agent-Based Short-Answer Question Generation And Scoring In Software Engineering Courses, Nguyen Binh Duong Ta, Lwin Khin Shar Dec 2025

Genscore: Agent-Based Short-Answer Question Generation And Scoring In Software Engineering Courses, Nguyen Binh Duong Ta, Lwin Khin Shar

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Short-answer questions are commonly used in educational assessments, as they are often viewed as a more effective way than multiple-choice questions to determine whether students have achieved the intended learning outcomes. However, manually creating appropriate questions targeting different cognitive levels such as those defined by the Bloom’s Taxonomy, and grading text answers from students are not trivial tasks for instructors. Existing work on auto-question generation and scoring in computing education typically targets coding-based questions. However, in software engineering courses, assessments can extend beyond coding to understanding of processes, DevOps methodologies, system design, etc. This work aims to address the dual …

Mando-Llm: Heterogeneous Graph Transformers With Large Language Models For Smart Contract Vulnerability Detection, Nhat Minh Nguyen, Huu Hoang Nguyen, Long Le Thanh, Zahra Ahmadi, Thanh Nam Doan, Daoyuan Wu, Lingxiao Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Detecting vulnerabilities in smart contracts is vital for the security and reliability of decentralized apps. To facilitate vulnerability detection, contract codes, including bug patterns, are represented as heterogeneous graphs with various nodes and edges, like control-flow and function-call graphs. However, existing graph learning techniques struggle with large, complex graphs. This paper presents MANDO-LLM, a novel framework that combines heterogeneous graph transformers (HGTs) with large language models (LLMs) for detecting vulnerabilities in smart contracts represented as heterogeneous contract graphs built upon control-flow and call graphs. MANDO-LLM uses LLMs to capture code features from control-flow and call data, customizes HGTs to learn …

Evaluating Defi Vulnerabilities: The Role Of Bug Bounty Programs On Defi Software Supply Chain, Ping Fan Ke, Yi Meng Lau, Lingxiao Jiang Dec 2025

Evaluating Defi Vulnerabilities: The Role Of Bug Bounty Programs On Defi Software Supply Chain, Ping Fan Ke, Yi Meng Lau, Lingxiao Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Decentralized finance (DeFi), powered by blockchain technology, enables peer-to-peer financial transactions without intermediaries. Despite rapid adoption, DeFi attracts malicious actors exploiting vulnerabilities. To mitigate risks, we propose a framework assessing entry points in the DeFi software supply chain: smart contracts, oracles/third-party feeds, user interfaces, off-chain storage, and crypto wallets. Applying this framework, we evaluate whether industry solutions—particularly bug bounty programs—adequately address these gaps. Our preliminary analysis indicates that most programs cover smart contract vulnerabilities (85.7%), followed by user interface issues (21.3%) and crypto wallet loopholes (11.9%). However, third-party risks, such as oracle feeds, are frequently deemed out of scope. This …

Jury-And-Judge Chain-Of-Thought For Uncovering Toxic Data In 3d Visual Grounding, Kaixiang Huang, Qifeng Zhang, Jin Wang, Jingru Yang, Yang Zhou, Huan Yu, Guodong Lu, Shengfeng He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

3D Visual Grounding (3DVG) faces persistent challenges due to coarse scene-level observations and logically inconsistent annotations, which introduce ambiguities that compromise data quality and hinder effective model supervision. To address these challenges, we introduce Refer-Judge, a novel framework that harnesses the reasoning capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to identify and mitigate toxic data. At the core of Refer-Judge is a Jury-and-Judge Chain-of-Thought paradigm, inspired by the deliberative process of the judicial system. This framework targets the root causes of annotation noise: jurors collaboratively assess 3DVG samples from diverse perspectives, providing structured, multi-faceted evaluations. Judges then consolidate these insights …

Misodice: Multi-Agent Imitation From Mixed-Quality Demonstrations, The Viet Bui, Tien Mai, Hong Thanh Nguyen Dec 2025

Misodice: Multi-Agent Imitation From Mixed-Quality Demonstrations, The Viet Bui, Tien Mai, Hong Thanh Nguyen

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We study offline imitation learning (IL) in cooperative multi-agent settings, where demonstrations have unlabeled mixed quality - containing both expert and suboptimal trajectories. Our proposed solution is structured in two stages: trajectory labeling and multi-agent imitation learning, designed jointly to enable effective learning from heterogeneous, unlabeled data. In the first stage, we combine advances in large language models and preference-based reinforcement learning to construct a progressive labeling pipeline that distinguishes expert-quality trajectories. In the second stage, we introduce MisoDICE, a novel multi-agent IL algorithm that leverages these labels to learn robust policies while addressing the computational complexity of large joint …

No Experts, No Problem: Avoidance Learning From Bad Demonstrations, Minh Huy Hoang, Tien Mai, Pradeep Varakantham Dec 2025

No Experts, No Problem: Avoidance Learning From Bad Demonstrations, Minh Huy Hoang, Tien Mai, Pradeep Varakantham

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper addresses the problem of learning avoidance behavior within the context of offline imitation learning. In contrast to conventional methodologies that prioritize the replication of expert or near-expert demonstrations, our work investigates a setting where expert (or desirable) data is absent, and the objective is to learn to eschew undesirable actions by leveraging demonstrations of such behavior (i.e., learning from negative examples).To address this challenge, we propose a novel training objective grounded in the maximum entropy principle. We further characterize the fundamental properties of this objective function, reformulating the learning process as a cooperative inverse Q-learning task. Moreover, we …

A Partition Cover Approach To Tokenization, Jia Peng Lim, Shawn Tan, Davin Choo, Hady Wirawan Lauw Dec 2025

A Partition Cover Approach To Tokenization, Jia Peng Lim, Shawn Tan, Davin Choo, Hady Wirawan Lauw

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Tokenization is the process of encoding strings into tokens of a fixed vocabulary size, and is widely utilized in Natural Language Processing applications. The leading tokenization algorithm today is Byte Pair Encoding (BPE), which formulates the tokenization problem as a compression problem and tackles it by performing sequences of merges. In this work, we formulate tokenization as an optimization objective, show that it is NP-hard via a simple reduction from vertex cover, and propose a polynomial-time greedy algorithm GreedTok. Our formulation naturally relaxes to the well-studied weighted maximum coverage problem which has a simple -approximation algorithm GreedWMC. Through empirical evaluations …

When Less Language Is More: Language-Reasoning Disentanglement Makes Llms Better Multilingual Reasoners, Weixiang Zhao, Jiahe Guo, Yang Deng, Tongtong Wu, Wenxuan Zhang, Yulin Hu, Xingyu Sui, Yanyan Zhao, Wanxiang Che, Bing Qin, Tat-Seng Chua, Ting Liu Dec 2025

When Less Language Is More: Language-Reasoning Disentanglement Makes Llms Better Multilingual Reasoners, Weixiang Zhao, Jiahe Guo, Yang Deng, Tongtong Wu, Wenxuan Zhang, Yulin Hu, Xingyu Sui, Yanyan Zhao, Wanxiang Che, Bing Qin, Tat-Seng Chua, Ting Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Multilingual reasoning remains a significant challenge for large language models (LLMs), with performance disproportionately favoring high-resource languages. Drawing inspiration from cognitive neuroscience, which suggests that human reasoning functions largely independently of language processing, we hypothesize that LLMs similarly encode reasoning and language as separable components that can be disentangled to enhance multilingual reasoning. To evaluate this, we perform a causal intervention by ablating language-specific representations at inference time. Experiments on 10 open-weight LLMs spanning 11 typologically diverse languages show that this language-specific ablation consistently boosts multilingual reasoning performance. Layer-wise analyses further confirm that language and reasoning representations can be effectively …

Temporal And Heterogeneous Graph Neural Network For Remaining Useful Life Prediction, Zhihao Wen, Yuan Fang, Pengcheng Wei, Fayao Liu, Zhenghua Chen, Min Wu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Predicting remaining useful life (RUL) plays a crucial role in the prognostics and health management of industrial systems that involve a variety of interrelated sensors. Given a constant stream of time-series sensory data from such systems, deep learning (DL) models have risen to prominence at identifying complex, nonlinear temporal dependencies in these data. In addition to the temporal dependencies of individual sensors, spatial dependencies emerge as important correlations among these sensors, which can be naturally modeled by a temporal graph that describes time-varying spatial relationships. However, the majority of existing studies have relied on capturing discrete snapshots of this temporal …

Foreign Director Exit In The Midst Of Deteriorating Bilateral Political Relations, Xiaocong Tian, Yuehua Xu, Daphne W. Yiu Nov 2025

Foreign Director Exit In The Midst Of Deteriorating Bilateral Political Relations, Xiaocong Tian, Yuehua Xu, Daphne W. Yiu

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Amid global geopolitical realism pushing for a race of hegemonic rivalry nowadays, an outflow of global human talents is a pressing organizational concern. Our study draws attention to the underexamined phenomenon of the exit of foreign directors from their host countries during geopolitical tensions. Theorizing from a sensemaking logic, we posit that the deterioration of bilateral political relations serves as an unexpected event that activates foreign directors’ schemas for dual identity conflict, propelling them to react behaviorally to such identity threats by exiting the board in the host country. In addition, we further posit that the sensemaking process is contingent …

Setting International Technical Standards To Shape Digital Trade Policy: Approaches, Challenges, And Opportunities For Developing Countries, Craig Atkinson, Hanane Becha Nov 2025

Setting International Technical Standards To Shape Digital Trade Policy: Approaches, Challenges, And Opportunities For Developing Countries, Craig Atkinson, Hanane Becha

Centre for Digital Law

Digital trade, the “intentional application of digital technologies at any stage of the trade process” (DiCaprio, 2024, p. 1), is reshaping patterns of economic growth1 and development (International Monetary Fund [IMF] et al., 2023a). As its basis, digital trade depends on internationally agreed-upon “digital technical standards”: rules and guidelines that ensure digital technologies can work together (i.e., interoperability) and be used widely (i.e., scalability) (Bergsen et al., 2022). These standards support how information and communication technologies (ICTs) are designed, interact, and are adopted across borders. Without such technical standards, digital trade would not be possible.

Does Generative Ai Facilitate Investor Trading? Early Evidence From Chatgpt Outages, Qiang Cheng, Pengkai Lin, Yue Zhao

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

In this paper, we use ChatGPT outages to provide early evidence on whether investors rely on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to perform professional tasks and the associated impact on stock price informativeness. We document a significant decline in stock trading volume during ChatGPT outages. The effect is stronger for firms with corporate news released immediately before or during the outages and for firms with higher ownership held by transient institutional investors. We then document declines in short-run price impact and return variance during the outage periods, consistent with reduced informed trading. Lastly, we document a positive effect of GenAI-assisted trading …

Chain Of Strategy Optimization Makes Large Language Models Better Emotional Supporter, Weixiang Zhao, Xingyu Sui, Xinyang Han, Yang Deng, Yulin Hu, Jiahe Guo, Libo Qin, Qianyun Du, Shijin Wang, Yanyan Zhao, Bing Qin, Ting Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The growing emotional stress in modern society has increased the demand for Emotional Support Conversations (ESC). While Large Language Models (LLMs) show promise for ESC, they face two key challenges: (1) low strategy selection accuracy, and (2) preference bias, limiting their adaptability to users’ emotional needs. Existing supervised fine-tuning (SFT) struggles to address these issues, as it rigidly trains models on single gold-standard responses without modeling nuanced strategy trade-offs. To overcome these limitations, we propose a novel two-stage framework that optimizes strategy selection preferences at each dialogue turn. We first leverage Monte Carlo Tree Search to construct ESC-Pro, a high-quality …
