Smart contracts are highly susceptible to manipulation attacks due to the leakage of sensitive information. Addressing manipulation vulnerabilities is particularly challenging because they stem from inherent data confidentiality issues rather than straightforward implementation bugs. To tackle this by preventing sensitive information leakage, we present PARTITIONGPT, the first LLM-driven approach that combines static analysis with the in-context learning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) to partition smart contracts into critical (privileged) and normal codebases, guided by a few annotated sensitive data variables. We evaluated PARTITIONGPT on 18 annotated smart contracts containing 99 sensitive functions. The results demonstrate that PARTITIONGPT successfully generates …

Recently, combining the strength of large language models (LLMs) and Evolutionary Computation (EC) has shown promising results for addressing optimization problems. It typically involves either iterative next-step solution seeking or directly prompting LLMs to generate critical optimization codes. However, these methods often suffer from low computational efficiency, high sensitivity to prompt design, and a lack of domain-specific knowledge. We introduce LLaMoCo, the first instruction-tuning framework designed to adapt LLMs for solving optimization problems in a code-to-code manner. LLaMoCo features a comprehensive instruction set that includes code-style problem descriptions as input prompts and robust optimization codes from expert EC optimizers as …

Sketches, as a new solution in multimedia systems that can replace natural language, are characterized by sparse visual cues such as simple strokes that differ significantly from natural images containing complex elements such as background, foreground, and texture. This misalignment poses substantial challenges for zero-shot sketch-based image retrieval (ZS-SBIR). Prior approaches match sketches to full images and tend to overlook redundant elements in natural images, leading to model distraction and semantic ambiguity. To address this issue, we introduce a distraction-agnostic framework, purified cross-domain matching (PuXIM), which operates on a straightforward principle: masking and matching. We devise a visual-cross-linguistic (VxL) sampler …

Ai Systems For Physicians: A Review From Socio-Technical And Human-Computer Interaction Perspectives, Wu Jiaqi Young, Fiona Fui-Hoon Nah
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is accelerating, yet successful implementations of physician-facing AI systems remain limited and uneven. This paper presents a literature review of 40 peer-reviewed studies published between November 2022 and November 2024, spanning clinical, technical, and human-computer interaction (HCI) domains. Anchored in a socio-technical perspective, the review examines our existing understanding of how technical design, user expertise, and organizational factors shape the effectiveness of AI systems in real-world clinical settings. Our analysis identifies two meta-themes: (1) context as a dynamic, multi-level influence that actively reshapes AI system behavior, and (2) trust as an emergent …

Generalized Visual Relation Detection With Diffusion Models, Kaifeng Gao, Siqi Chen, Hanwang Zhang, Jun Xiao, Yueting Zhuang, Qianru Sun
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Visual relation detection (VRD) aims to identify relationships (or interactions) between object pairs in an image. Although recent VRD models have achieved impressive performance, they are all restricted to pre-defined relation categories, while failing to consider the semantic ambiguity characteristic of visual relations. Unlike objects, the appearance of visual relations is always subtle and can be described by multiple predicate words from different perspectives, e.g., “ride” can be depicted as “race” and “sit on”, from the sports and spatial position views, respectively. To this end, we propose to model visual relations as continuous embeddings, and design diffusion models to achieve …

Benchmarking Gaslighting Negation Attacks Against Reasoning Models, Bin Zhu, Hailong Yin, Jingjing Chen, Yu Gang Jiang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recent advances in reasoning-centric models promise improved robustness through mechanisms such as chain-of-thought prompting and test-time scaling. However, their ability to withstand gaslighting negation attacks—adversarial prompts that confidently deny correct answers—remains underexplored. In this paper, we conduct a systematic evaluation of three state-of-the-art reasoning models, i.e., OpenAI’s o4-mini, Claude-3.7-Sonnet and Gemini-2.5-Flash, across three multimodal benchmarks: MMMU, MathVista, and CharXiv. Our evaluation reveals significant accuracy drops (25–29% on average) following gaslighting negation attacks, indicating that even top-tier reasoning models struggle to preserve correct answers under manipulative user feedback. Built upon the insights of the evaluation and to further probe this vulnerability, …
Realign: Text-To-Motion Generation Via Step-Aware Reward-Guided Alignment, Wanjiang Weng, Xiaofeng Tan, Junbo Wang, Guo-Sen Xie, Pan Zhou, Hongsong Wang
Realign: Text-To-Motion Generation Via Step-Aware Reward-Guided Alignment, Wanjiang Weng, Xiaofeng Tan, Junbo Wang, Guo-Sen Xie, Pan Zhou, Hongsong Wang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Text-to-motion generation, which synthesizes 3D human motions from text inputs, holds immense potential for applications in gaming, film, and robotics. Recently, diffusion-based methods have been shown to generate more diversity and realistic motion. However, there exists a misalignment between text and motion distributions in diffusion models, which leads to semantically inconsistent or low-quality motions. To address this limitation, we propose Reward-guided sampling Alignment (ReAlign), comprising a step-aware reward model to assess alignment quality during the denoising sampling and a reward-guided strategy that directs the diffusion process toward an optimally aligned distribution. This reward model integrates step-aware tokens and combines a …

Decentralized finance (DeFi) applications depend on accurate price oracles to ensure secure and fair transactions. However, poorly integrated oracles remain susceptible to manipulation, enabling attackers to exploit smart contract logic for unfair asset valuation and financial gain. While many such vulnerabilities are only detected after deployment, smart contracts are typically immutable once deployed, making post-hoc fixes costly or infeasible. This highlights the critical need for detecting oracle manipulation risks before deployment. In this paper, we propose AiRacleX, a novel LLM-driven framework that enables pre-deployment detection of price oracle manipulation vulnerabilities by leveraging the complementary strengths of multiple large language models …

Security-Enhanced Decentralized Conditional Privacy-Preserving Authentication In Vanets, Suqin Luo, Xinghua Li, Yinbin Miao, Xuelin Cao, Zhan Zhang, Yunwei Wang, Deng R.H.
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
To ensure the legitimacy of communicators while ad dressing the privacy concerns of vehicles in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), conditional privacy-preserving authentication (CPPA) schemes have been proposed. Given that existing schemes suffer from single point of failure due to centralized authorities, several distributed CPPA schemes have been proposed. However, these schemes all ignore the tight cementation between system secret keys and the authority, which could be a serious threat to system security, that the compromised authority may leak the system secret key. To address these issues, we propose a security enhanced decentralized conditional privacy-preserving authentication (DCPPA) scheme. DCPPA first introduces …
Tempo: Training-Time Equilibration Of Modalities For Per-Sample Optimization In Multimodal Sentiment, Yi Zhao, Erik Cambria, Xiaosong E, Xianxun Zhu
Tempo: Training-Time Equilibration Of Modalities For Per-Sample Optimization In Multimodal Sentiment, Yi Zhao, Erik Cambria, Xiaosong E, Xianxun Zhu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Multimodal sentiment models often become over-reliant on the “easiest” modality (typically text), leading to three coupled sub-problems: (i) representation-level dominance, where weaker modalities contribute little to the fused representation; (ii) optimization-level dominance, where the strongest modality drives most gradient updates and suppresses learning in others; and (iii) robustness degradation, where audio or vision fail under noise or missing inputs at test time. We present TEMPO, a plug-and-play training framework that mitigates these issues by rebalancing learning pressure across modalities while leaving inference unchanged. For each mini-batch, TEMPO estimates relative modality strength and applies two synchronized, training-only controls: selective forward attenuation …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Reasoning is the fundamental capability of large language models (LLMs). Due to the rapid progress of LLMs, there are two main issues of current benchmarks: i) these benchmarks can be crushed in a short time (less than 1 year), and ii) these benchmarks may be easily hacked. To handle these issues, we propose the ever-scalingness for building the benchmarks which are scaling over complexity against crushing, instance against hacking and exploitation, oversight for easy verification, and coverage for real-world relevance. This paper presents Nondeterministic Polynomial-time Problem Challenge (NPPC), an ever-scaling reasoning benchmark for LLMs. Specifically, the NPPC has three main …

The nexus between data characteristics and parametric models is fundamental for developing effective and reliable artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Mismatches in data properties for model development may lead to deleterious effects on AI model performance in machine learning practice. This paper proposes a Reliable Data Split (RDS) procedure to learn how to select data points that will generalise the target domain adequately by employing prior knowledge of the data generative process. We introduce a reinforced selection strategy using deep reinforcement learning with diverse black box predictors in maximising ensemble rewards as the proxy of model performance potential while maintaining an …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) using machine learning techniques. Motivated by this trend, we propose a learning-augmented exact approach for tackling an NP-hard COP, the Orienteering Problem with Time Windows, which aims to maximize the total score collected by visiting a subset of vertices in a graph within their time windows. Traditional exact algorithms rely heavily on domain expertise and meticulous design, making it hard to achieve further improvements. By leveraging deep learning models to learn effective relaxations of problem restrictions from data, our approach enables significant performance gains in an …

Semi‑Supervised Graph Anomaly Detection Via Robust Homophily Learning, Guoguo Ai, Hezhe Qiao, Hui Yan, Guansong Pang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Current semi-supervised graph anomaly detection (GAD) methods utilizes a small set of labeled normal nodes to identify abnormal nodes from a large set of unlabeled nodes in a graph. These methods posit that 1) normal nodes share a similar level of homophily and 2) the labeled normal nodes can well represent the homophily patterns in the entire normal class. However, this assumption often does not hold well since normal nodes in a graph can exhibit diverse homophily in real-world GAD datasets. In this paper, we propose RHO, namely Robust Homophily Learning, to adaptively learn such homophily patterns. RHO consists of …

Uniteformer: Unifying Node And Edge Modalities In Transformers For Vehicle Routing Problem, Dian Meng, Zhiguang Cao, Jie Gao, Yaoxin Wu, Yaqing Hou
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Neural solvers for the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) have typically relied on either node or edge inputs, limiting their flexibility and generalization in real-world scenarios. We propose UniteFormer, a unified neural solver that supports node-only, edge-only, and hybrid input types through a single model trained via joint edge-node modalities. UniteFormer introduces: (1) a mixed encoder that integrates graph convolutional networks and attention mechanisms to collaboratively process node and edge features, capturing cross-modal interactions between them; and (2) a parallel decoder enhanced with query mapping and a feed-forward layer for improved representation. The model is trained with REINFORCE by randomly sampling …

Learning Memory-Enhanced Improvement Heuristics For Flexible Job Shop Scheduling, Jiaqi Wang, Zhiguang Cao, Peng Zhao, Rui Cao, Yubin Xiao, Yuan Jiang, You Zhou
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The rise of smart manufacturing under Industry 4.0 introduces mass customization and dynamic production, demanding more advanced and flexible scheduling techniques. The flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) has attracted significant attention due to its complex constraints and strong alignment with real-world production scenarios. Current deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based approaches to FJSP predominantly employ constructive methods. While effective, they often fall short of reaching (near-)optimal solutions. In contrast, improvement-based methods iteratively explore the neighborhood of initial solutions and are more effective in approaching optimality. However, the flexible machine allocation in FJSP poses significant challenges to the application of this framework, including …

Instance-Level Video Depth In Groups Beyond Occlusions, Yuan Liang, Yang Zhou, Ziming Sun, Tianyi Xiang, Guiqing Li, Shengfeng He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Depth estimation in dynamic, multi-object scenes remains a major challenge, especially under severe occlusions. Existing monocular models, including foundation models, struggle with instance-wise depth consistency due to their reliance on global regression. We tackle this problem from two key aspects: data and methodology. First, we introduce the Group Instance Depth (GID) dataset, the first large-scale video depth dataset with instance-level annotations, featuring 101,500 frames from real-world activity scenes. GID bridges the gap between synthetic and real-world depth data by providing high-fidelity depth supervision for multi-object interactions. Second, we propose InstanceDepth, the first occlusion-aware depth estimation framework for multi-object environments. Our …

Robust Hallucination Detection In Llms Via Adaptive Token Selection, Mengjia Niu, Hamed Haddadi, Guansong Pang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Hallucinations in large language models (LLMs) pose significant safety concerns that impede their broader deployment. Recent research in hallucination detection has demonstrated that LLMs’ internal representations contain truthfulness hints, which can be harnessed for detector training. However, the performance of these detectors is heavily dependent on the internal representations of predetermined tokens, fluctuating considerably when working on free-form generations with varying lengths and sparse distributions of hallucinated entities. To address this, we propose HaMI, a novel approach that enables robust detection of hallucinations through adaptive selection and learning of critical tokens that are most indicative of hallucinations. We achieve this …

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 …

General Test-Time Backdoor Detection In Split Neural Network-Based Vertical Federated Learning, Shunjie Yuan, Xinghua Li, Xuelin Cao, Haiyan Zhang, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
As a new distributed machine learning framework, vertical federated learning (VFL) has been widely applied in the industry. However, recent studies have demonstrated that VFL faces serious challenges from backdoor attacks, which significantly hinder its further development. Although a few studies have focused on defending against VFL backdoor attacks, these defenses either do not consider the latest attack methods or show limited effectiveness. Moreover, most existing backdoor defense efforts primarily focus on backdoor attacks in horizontal federated learning (HFL) and centralized learning. Due to the unique architecture of VFL models, these methods cannot be directly applied to backdoor defense in …

Registration Is A Powerful Rotation-Invariance Learner For 3d Anomaly Detection, Yuyang Yu, Zhengwei Chen, Xuemiao Xu, Lei Zhang, Haoxin Yang, Yongwei Nie, Shengfeng He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
3D anomaly detection in point-cloud data is critical for industrial quality control, aiming to identify structural defects with high reliability. However, current memory bank-based methods often suffer from inconsistent feature transformations and limited discriminative capacity, particularly in capturing local geometric details and achieving rotation invariance. These limitations become more pronounced when registration fails, leading to unreliable detection results. We argue that point-cloud registration plays an essential role not only in aligning geometric structures but also in guiding feature extraction toward rotation-invariant and locally discriminative representations. To this end, we propose a registration-induced, rotation-invariant feature extraction framework that integrates the objectives …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The explosive growth of generative video models has amplified the demand for reliable copyright preservation of AI-generated content. Despite its popularity in image synthesis, invisible generative watermarking remains largely underexplored in video generation. To address this gap, we propose Safe-Sora, the first framework to embed graphical watermarks directly into the video generation process. Motivated by the observation that watermarking performance is closely tied to the visual similarity between the watermark and cover content, we introduce a hierarchical coarse-to-fine adaptive matching mechanism. Specifically, the watermark image is divided into patches, each assigned to the most visually similar video frame, and further …

The advancement of diffusion models has enhanced the realism of AI-generated content but also raised concerns about misuse, necessitating robust copyright protection and tampering localization. Although recent methods have made progress toward unified solutions, their reliance on post hoc processing introduces considerable application inconvenience and compromises forensic reliability. We propose StableGuard, a novel framework that seamlessly integrates a binary watermark into the diffusion generation process, ensuring copyright protection and tampering localization in Latent Diffusion Models through an end-to-end design. We develop a Multiplexing Watermark VAE (MPW-VAE) by equipping a pretrained Variational Autoencoder (VAE) with a lightweight latent residual-based adapter, enabling …

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 …

Infrared-visible image fusion aims to integrate complementary information from two modalities to generate images with enriched semantic content. However, existing methods often neglect two critical aspects: the design of a local–global feature enhancement architecture and spatial alignment. To address these challenges, we propose Channel Selective and Spatial Alignment Fusion (CSSA-Fusion), a novel framework composed of two synergistic modules. The first is a selective channel and redundancy suppression module, which introduces a dual-branch selective channel attention mechanism to jointly capture local saliency and global channel importance for enhanced feature representation, and an informativeness–redundancy separation strategy to suppress redundant information while preserving …

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 …

Spreadsheets are widely used for data analysis and reporting, yet their complex structure and formula logic pose significant challenges for AI systems. We introduce Sheetpedia, a large-scale corpus of over 290,000 diverse spreadsheets (from 324,000+ workbooks) compiled from enterprise email archives and online forums. We detail a rigorous collection and preprocessing pipeline (integrating the Enron email spreadsheet archive and the Fuse web corpus, plus a new crawl of Excel forums) to standardize formats, filter languages, and remove duplicates. Sheetpedia provides extensive coverage of real formulas and annotations – addressing a gap left by prior table datasets (e.g. web tables used …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Scene context prediction, which seeks to infer unknown contextual information from isolated object properties, currently faces limitations due to predominant reliance on pixel-wise supervision that overlooks real-world context priors. To address this, we present ContX, a context-prior-driven, coarse-to-fine model. ContX distinctively integrates explicit linguistic-contextual knowledge in two key ways. First, it proposes a linguistic guided context bank, leveraging linguistic-statistical contextual data to guide the rationality of segmentation shapes and foster meaningful inter-class contextual interactions. Second, ContX augments contextual comprehension by correlating layouts with linguistic descriptions, enhancing layout perception through a multi-modal strategy. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate ContX's superiority and versatility, outperforming …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Generative large language models (LLMs) have achieved state-of-the-art results on a wide range of tasks, yet they remain susceptible to backdoor attacks: carefully crafted triggers in the input can manipulate the model to produce adversaryspecified outputs. While prior research has predominantly focused on backdoor risks in vision and classification settings, the vulnerability of LLMs in open-ended text generation remains underexplored. To fill this gap, we introduce BackdoorLLM1 , the first comprehensive benchmark for systematically evaluating backdoor threats in text-generation LLMs. BackdoorLLM provides: (i) a unified repository of benchmarks with a standardized training and evaluation pipeline; (ii) a diverse suite of …

Griffin: Effective Token Alignment For Faster Speculative Decoding, Shijing Hu, Jingyang Li, Xingyu Xie, Zhihui Lu, Kim-Chuan Toh, Pan Zhou
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Speculative decoding accelerates inference in large language models (LLMs) by generating multiple draft tokens simultaneously. However, existing methods often struggle with token misalignment between the training and decoding phases, limiting their performance. To address this, we propose GRIFFIN, a novel framework that incorporates a token-alignable training strategy and a token-alignable draft model to mitigate misalignment. The training strategy employs a loss masking mechanism to exclude highly misaligned tokens during training, preventing them from negatively impacting the draft model’s optimization. The token-alignable draft model introduces input tokens to correct inconsistencies in generated features. Experiments on LLaMA, Vicuna, Qwen and Mixtral models …
