Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Traditional human neural radiance fields often overlook crucial body semantics, resulting in ambiguous reconstructions, particularly in occluded regions. To address this problem, we propose the Super-Semantic Disentangled Neural Renderer (SSD-NeRF), which employs rich regional semantic priors to enhance human rendering accuracy. This approach initiates with a Visible-Invisible Semantic Propagation module, ensuring coherent semantic assignment to occluded parts based on visible body segments. Furthermore, a Region-Wise Texture Propagation module independently extends textures from visible to occluded areas within semantic regions, thereby avoiding irrelevant texture mixtures and preserving semantic consistency. Additionally, a view-aware curricular learning approach is integrated to bolster the model's …

Stroke2sketch: Harnessing Stroke Attributes For Training-Free Sketch Generation, Rui Yang, Huining Li, Yiyi Long, Xiaojun Wu, Shengfeng He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Generating sketches guided by reference styles requires precise transfer of stroke attributes, such as line thickness, deformation, and texture sparsity, while preserving semantic structure and content fidelity. To this end, we propose Stroke2Sketch, a novel training-free framework that introduces cross-image stroke attention, a mechanism embedded within self-attention layers to establish fine-grained semantic correspondences and enable accurate stroke attribute transfer. This allows our method to adaptively integrate reference stroke characteristics into content images while maintaining structural integrity. Additionally, we develop adaptive contrast enhancement and semanticfocused attention to reinforce content preservation and foreground emphasis. Stroke2Sketch effectively synthesizes stylistically faithful sketches that closely …

Cross-Subject Mind Decoding From Inaccurate Representations, Yangyang Xu, Bangzhen Liu, Wenqi Shao, Yong Du, Shengfeng He, Tingting Zhu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Decoding stimulus images from fMRI signals has advanced with pre-trained generative models. However, existing methods struggle with cross-subject mappings due to cognitive variability and subject-specific differences. This challenge arises from sequential errors, where unidirectional mappings generate partially inaccurate representations that, when fed into diffusion models, accumulate errors and degrade reconstruction fidelity. To address this, we propose the Bidirectional Autoencoder Intertwining framework for accurate decoded representation prediction. Our approach unifies multiple subjects through a Subject Bias Modulation Module while leveraging bidirectional mapping to better capture data distributions for precise representation prediction. To further enhance fidelity when decoding representations into stimulus images, …

Classical Shadows With Improved Median-Of-Means Estimation, Winston Fu, Dax Enshan Koh, Siong Thye Goh, Jian Feng Kong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The classical shadows protocol, introduced by Huang et al (2020 Nat. Phys. 16 1050), makes use of the median-of-means (MoM) estimator to efficiently estimate the expectation values of M observables with failure probability δ using only O ( log ( M / δ ) ) measurements. In their analysis, Huang et al used loose constants in their asymptotic performance bounds for simplicity. However, the specific values of these constants can significantly affect the number of shots used in practical implementations. To address this, we studied a modified MoM estimator proposed by Minsker (2023 Proc. 36th Conf. on Learning Theory …

The power of visual language models is showcased in visual understanding tasks, where language-guided models achieve impressive flexibility and precision. In this paper, we ex tend this capability to the challenging domain of image matting by framing it as a soft grounding problem, enabling a single diffusion model to handle diverse objects, textures, and transparencies, all directed by descriptive text prompts. Our method teaches the diffusion model to ground alpha mattes by guiding it through a process of instance-level localization and transparency estimation. First, we introduce an intermediate objective that trains the model to accurately localize semantic components of the …

Stable Score Distillation, Haiming Zhu, Yangyang Xu, Chenshu Xu, Tingrui Shen, Wenxi Liu, Yong Du, Jun Yu, Shengfeng He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Text-guided image and 3D editing have advanced with diffusion-based models, yet methods like Delta Denoising Score often struggle with stability, spatial control, and editing strength. These limitations stem from reliance on complex auxiliary structures, which introduce conflicting optimization signals and restrict precise, localized edits. We introduce Stable Score Distillation (SSD), a streamlined framework that enhances stability and alignment in the editing process by anchoring a single classifier to the source prompt. Specifically, SSD utilizes Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) equation to achieve cross-prompt alignment, and introduces a constant term null-text branch to stabilize the optimization process. This approach preserves the original content's …

Tactile graphics on a refreshable display have proven effective in enabling visually impaired people to comprehend pictorial content. To further evaluate the effectiveness of refreshable tactile displays in blind education, we designed tactile data comics, a method that combines step-by-step presentation of tactile graphics with verbal narration. We conducted a user study with sixteen visually impaired students to compare tactile data comics against verbal-only and static tactile graphics. Our findings show that tactile data comics significantly improve participants’ comprehension and engagement during the learning experience. These empirical results suggest that the integration of refreshable tactile displays and tactile data comics …

Impact Of Original Versus Reposted Social Endorsements On Content Consumption: The Moderating Role Of Endorsers’ Network Characteristics, Anqi Zhao, Qian Tang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Social endorsements broadcast endorsers’ positive attitudes toward content or products, especially to their social ties. Original endorsements created by endorsers can be propagated further as reposted endorsements. Both are important marketing tools to increase content consumption, yet their differences are unclear. This study compares the impacts of original and reposted endorsements on content consumption and their contingencies on the endorsers’ network characteristics. Using data on social endorsements of YouTube videos on Twitter, we find that original endorsements (i.e., original tweets) significantly boost content consumption, and the effect is positively moderated by the endorsers’ network size but not their tie strength. …

Filterfl: Knowledge Filtering-Based Data-Free Backdoor Defense For Federated Learning, Yanxin Yang, Ming Hu, Xiaofei Xie, Yue Cao, Pengyu Zhang, Yihao Huang, Mingsong Chen
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
As a distributed machine learning paradigm, Federated Learning (FL) enables large-scale clients to collaboratively train a model without sharing their raw data. However, due to the lack of data auditing for untrusted clients, FL is vulnerable to poisoning attacks, especially backdoor attacks. By using poisoned data for local training or directly changing the model parameters, attackers can easily inject backdoors into the model, which can trigger the model to make misclassification of targeted patterns in images. To address these issues, we propose a novel data-free trigger-generation-based defense approach based on the two characteristics of backdoor attacks: i) triggers are learned …

The rapid growth of 3D digital content necessitates expandable recognition systems for open-world scenarios. However, existing 3D class-incremental learning methods struggle under extreme data scarcity due to geometric misalignment and texture bias. While recent approaches integrate 3D data with 2D foundation models (e.g., CLIP), they suffer from semantic blurring caused by texture-biased projections and indiscriminate fusion of geometric-textural cues, leading to unstable decision prototypes and catastrophic forgetting. To address these issues, we propose Cross-Modal Geometric Rectification (CMGR), a framework that enhances 3D geometric fidelity by leveraging CLIP’s hierarchical spatial semantics. Specifically, we introduce a Structure-Aware Geometric Rectification module that hierarchically …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Image-based Virtual Try-On (VTON) techniques rely on either supervised in-shop approaches, which ensure high fidelity but struggle with cross-domain generalization, or unsupervised in-the-wild methods, which improve adaptability but remain constrained by data biases and limited universality. A unified, training-free solution that works across both scenarios remains an open challenge. We propose OmniVTON, the first training-free universal VTON framework that decouples garment and pose conditioning to achieve both texture fidelity and pose consistency across diverse settings. To preserve garment details, we introduce a garment prior generation mechanism that aligns clothing with the body, followed by continuous boundary stitching technique to achieve …

Traditional ship detection methods primarily rely on single-modal approaches, such as visible or infrared images, which limit their application in complex scenarios involving varying lighting conditions and heavy fog. To address this issue, we explore the advantages of short-wave infrared (SWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) in ship detection and propose a novel single-stage image fusion detection algorithm called LSFDNet. This algorithm leverages feature interaction between the image fusion and object detection subtask networks, achieving remarkable detection performance and generating visually impressive fused images. To further improve the saliency of objects in the fused images and improve the performance of the …

Parameter-Efficient Variational Autoencoder For Multimodal Multi-Interest Recommendation, Nhu Thuat Tran, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Learning user preferences in recommendation systems is enriched by multimodal features, such as textual and visual content, and amplified by multi-interest modeling with Variational AutoEncoders (VAEs). However, prior efforts are limited by single modality focus and cumbersome, parameter-heavy architecture designs. To address these limitations, we introduce an innovative solution that blends the semantic richness of multimodal data with the representational power of multi-representation VAEs. Drawing inspiration from Mixture of Experts (MoE), we cast each VAE as an expert tailored to a specific modality, then fuse them via a novel parameter-merging function into a lean, unified model. This approach efficiently captures …

Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has emerged as an effective technique for dynamic algorithm configuration, particularly in evolutionary computation, enabling adaptive parameter updates during algorithmic execution. DRL-based methods have shown broad applicability across different problem domains and are designed to configure algorithms without problem-specific information, making them highly transferable across problem variants and scalable to different problem sizes. This paper proposes a novel graph neural network-based approach that learns representations of Search Trajectory Networks (STNs) to track the convergence behavior of multiple objectives and dynamically reconfigures multiobjective evolutionary algorithms during execution. By capturing how solutions evolve and interact over time, the …

Mitigating Cross-Modal Representation Bias For Multicultural Image-To-Recipe Retrieval, Qing Wang, Chong-Wah Ngo, Yu Cao, Ee-Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Existing approaches for image-to-recipe retrieval have the implicit assumption that a food image can fully capture the details textually documented in its recipe. However, a food image only reflects the visual outcome of a cooked dish and not the underlying cooking process. Consequently, learning cross-modal representations to bridge the modality gap between images and recipes tends to ignore subtle, recipe-specific details that are not visually apparent but are crucial for recipe retrieval. Specifically, the representations are biased to capture the dominant visual elements, resulting in difficulty in ranking similar recipes with subtle differences in use of ingredients and cooking methods. …

In an NBA game scenario, consider the challenge of locating and analyzing the 3D poses of players performing a user-specified action, such as attempting a shot. Traditional 3D human pose estimation (3DHPE) methods often fall short in such complex, multi-person scenes due to their lack of semantic integration and reliance on isolated pose data. To address these limitations, we introduce Language-Driven 3D Human Pose Estimation (L3DHPE), a novel approach that extends 3DHPE to general multi-person contexts by incorporating detailed language descriptions. We present Panoptic-L3D, the first dataset designed for L3DHPE, featuring 3,838 linguistic annotations for 1,476 individuals across 588 videos, …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we introduce DiffusionMat, a novel image matting framework that employs a diffusion model for the transition from coarse to refined alpha mattes. Diverging from conventional methods that utilize trimaps merely as loose guidance for alpha matte prediction, our approach treats image matting as a deterministic sequential refinement learning process. This process begins with the addition of noise to trimaps and iteratively denoises them using a pre-trained diffusion model, which incrementally guides the prediction towards a clean alpha matte. The key innovation of our framework is a correction module that adjusts the output at each denoising step, ensuring …

In recent years, applying deep models to automatically learn construction heuristics for vehicle routing problems has achieved remarkable advancements. However, they are less effective in searching solutions due to two primary limitations: relying on deterministic probability distributions and overlooking the strategic advantage of prioritizing nearby unvisited nodes during the route construction process, resulting in suboptimal policies In this paper, we propose a novel lightweight population-based policy optimization (LPPO) framework that learns a diverse population of solution strategies through the utilization of innovative perturbation factors, in order to facilitate search exploration. Moreover, we design a localized attention synthesis (LAS) network to …

Automated Program Repair (APR) aims to automatically generate patches for rectifying software bugs. Recentstrides in Large Language Models (LLM), such as ChatGPT, have yielded encouraging outcomes in APR,especially within the conversation-driven APR framework. Nevertheless, the efficacy of conversation-drivenAPR is contingent on the quality of the feedback information. In this article, we propose ContrastRepair, anovel conversation-based APR approach that augments conversation-driven APR by providing LLMs withcontrastive test pairs. A test pair consists of a failing test and a passing test, which offer contrastive feedback tothe LLM. Our key insight is to minimize the difference between the generated passing test and the …

Morphology-Aware Hrv Estimation From Wrist Ppg In Sedentary Scenarios, Changshuo Hu, Hung Manh Pham, Dong Ma
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Photoplethysmography (PPG) is widely used in wearable devices for non-invasive heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring. While most prior work focuses on mitigating motion artifacts, recent studies highlight that even subtle contact pressure variations can distort waveform morphology and lead to inaccurate HRV estimates. In this work, we propose a morphology-aware deep learning framework that conditions HRV estimation on beat-level waveform types. Our model jointly encodes the raw PPG waveform and a sequence of pressure-induced morphology labels using parallel encoders, integrates them via cross-attention, and predicts normal-to-normal (NN) intervals and beat count to support downstream HRV computation. Evaluated on the public …

Polynomial quantified entailments with existentially and universally quantified variables arise in many problems of verification and program analysis. We present PolyQEnt which is a tool for solving polynomial quantified entailments in which variables on both sides of the implication are real valued or unbounded integers. Our tool provides a unified framework for polynomial quantified entailment problems that arise in several papers in the literature. Our experimental evaluation over a wide range of benchmarks shows the applicability of the tool as well as its benefits as opposed to simply using existing SMT solvers to solve such constraints.

We document that a firm's research and development (R&D) expenditure depends on its product diversity. Combining with the fact that Chinese manufacturers often enter new product markets via technology adoption, we develop a quantitative framework of innovation and technology adoption, allowing firms to expand their product scopes. Firms adopt technologies across multiple fields to expand their knowledge base, which in turn serves as an input for subsequent innovation or adoption. Counterfactual analysis from the 2000s reveals that two-thirds of knowledge privately held by all firms is generated through adoption, accounting for one-third of aggregate innovation.

In Singapore, most land is state-owned, with the state generally issuing leasehold estates via state leases of not more than 99 years1, depending on the intended land use. Naturally, the value of a leasehold estate, which erodes over time as the lease approaches the end of its term, is a key component of the premium charged for lease renewals, or the tax imposed for permission given in relation to a development that would increase the value of the land. By law, the state valuation of leasehold land is prescribed by a leasehold relativity table colloquially known as ‘Bala’s Curve’ or …
