Fleet Sizing And Allocation For On-Demand Last-Mile Transportation Systems, Karmel Shehadeh, Hai Wang, Peter Zhang
Fleet Sizing And Allocation For On-Demand Last-Mile Transportation Systems, Karmel Shehadeh, Hai Wang, Peter Zhang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The last-mile problem refers to the provision of travel service from the nearest public transportation node to home or other destination. Last-Mile Transportation Systems (LMTS), which have recently emerged, provide on-demand shared transportation. In this paper, we investigate the fleet sizing and allocation problem for the on-demand LMTS. Specifically, we consider the perspective of a last-mile service provider who wants to determine the number of servicing vehicles to allocate to multiple last-mile service regions in a particular city. In each service region, passengers demanding last-mile services arrive in batches, and allocated vehicles deliver passengers to their final destinations. The passenger …
Contrastive Pre-Training Of Gnns On Heterogeneous Graphs, Xunqiang Jiang, Yuanfu Lu, Yuan Fang, Chuan Shi
Contrastive Pre-Training Of Gnns On Heterogeneous Graphs, Xunqiang Jiang, Yuanfu Lu, Yuan Fang, Chuan Shi
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
While graph neural networks (GNNs) emerge as the state-of-the-art representation learning methods on graphs, they often require a large amount of labeled data to achieve satisfactory performance, which is often expensive or unavailable. To relieve the label scarcity issue, some pre-training strategies have been devised for GNNs, to learn transferable knowledge from the universal structural properties of the graph. However, existing pre-training strategies are only designed for homogeneous graphs, in which each node and edge belongs to the same type. In contrast, a heterogeneous graph embodies rich semantics, as multiple types of nodes interact with each other via different kinds …

In recent years, the use of asynchronous online discussion forums has become pervasive in tertiary education institutions. Online discussion forums are widely used for facilitating interactions both during the lesson time and beyond. Numerous prior studies have reported benefits of using online discussion forums including enhanced quality of learning, improved level of …
Topic Modeling For Multi-Aspect Listwise Comparison, Delvin Ce Zhang, Hady W. Lauw
Topic Modeling For Multi-Aspect Listwise Comparison, Delvin Ce Zhang, Hady W. Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
As a well-established probabilistic method, topic models seek to uncover latent semantics from plain text. In addition to having textual content, we observe that documents are usually compared in listwise rankings based on their content. For instance, world-wide countries are compared in an international ranking in terms of electricity production based on their national reports. Such document comparisons constitute additional information that reveal documents' relative similarities. Incorporating them into topic modeling could yield comparative topics that help to differentiate and rank documents. Furthermore, based on different comparison criteria, the observed document comparisons usually cover multiple aspects, each expressing a distinct …
Representation Learning On Multi-Layered Heterogeneous Network, Delvin Ce Zhang, Hady W. Lauw
Representation Learning On Multi-Layered Heterogeneous Network, Delvin Ce Zhang, Hady W. Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Network data can often be represented in a multi-layered structure with rich semantics. One example is e-commerce data, containing user-user social network layer and item-item context layer, with cross-layer user-item interactions. Given the dual characters of homogeneity within each layer and heterogeneity across layers, we seek to learn node representations from such a multi-layered heterogeneous network while jointly preserving structural information and network semantics. In contrast, previous works on network embedding mainly focus on single-layered or homogeneous networks with one type of nodes and links. In this paper we propose intra- and cross-layer proximity concepts. Intra-layer proximity simulates propagation along …
Pruning Meta-Trained Networks For On-Device Adaptation, Dawei Gao, Xiaoxi He, Zimu Zhou, Yongxin Tong, Lothar Thiele
Pruning Meta-Trained Networks For On-Device Adaptation, Dawei Gao, Xiaoxi He, Zimu Zhou, Yongxin Tong, Lothar Thiele
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Adapting neural networks to unseen tasks with few training samples on resource-constrained devices benefits various Internet-of-Things applications. Such neural networks should learn the new tasks in few shots and be compact in size. Meta-learning enables few-shot learning, yet the meta-trained networks can be overparameterised. However, naive combination of standard compression techniques like network pruning with meta-learning jeopardises the ability for fast adaptation. In this work, we propose adaptation-aware network pruning (ANP), a novel pruning scheme that works with existing meta-learning methods for a compact network capable of fast adaptation. ANP uses weight importance metric that is based on the sensitivity …
Intercept Graph: An Interactive Radial Visualization For Comparison Of State Changes, Shaolun Ruan, Yong Wang, Qiang Guan
Intercept Graph: An Interactive Radial Visualization For Comparison Of State Changes, Shaolun Ruan, Yong Wang, Qiang Guan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
State change comparison of multiple data items is often necessary in multiple application domains, such as medical science, financial engineering, sociology, biological science, etc. Slope graphs and grouped bar charts have been widely used to show a “before-and-after” story of different data states and indicate their changes. However, they visualize state changes as either slope or difference of bars, which has been proved less effective for quantitative comparison. Also, both visual designs suffer from visual clutter issues with an increasing number of data items. In this paper, we propose Intercept Graph, a novel visual design to facilitate effective interactive comparison …

Topic-Aware Heterogeneous Graph Neural Network For Link Prediction, Siyong Xu, Cheng Yang, Yuan Fang, Yuan Fang, Yang Tianchi, Luhao Zhang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Heterogeneous graphs (HGs), consisting of multiple types of nodes and links, can characterize a variety of real-world complex systems. Recently, heterogeneous graph neural networks (HGNNs), as a powerful graph embedding method to aggregate heterogeneous structure and attribute information, has earned a lot of attention. Despite the ability of HGNNs in capturing rich semantics which reveal different aspects of nodes, they still stay at a coarse-grained level which simply exploits structural characteristics. In fact, rich unstructured text content of nodes also carries latent but more fine-grained semantics arising from multi-facet topic-aware factors, which fundamentally manifest why nodes of different types would …

Finding A Needle In A Haystack: Automatic Mining Of Silent Vulnerability Fixes, Jiayuan Zhou, Michael Pacheco, Zhiyuan Wan, Xin Xia, David Lo, Yuan Wang, Ahmed E. Hassan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Following the coordinated vulnerability disclosure model, a vulnerability in open source software (OSS) is suggested to be fixed “silently”, without disclosing the fix until the vulnerability is disclosed. Yet, it is crucial for OSS users to be aware of vulnerability fixes as early as possible, as once a vulnerability fix is pushed to the source code repository, a malicious party could probe for the corresponding vulnerability to exploit it. In practice, OSS users often rely on the vulnerability disclosure information from security advisories (e.g., National Vulnerability Database) to sense vulnerability fixes. However, the time between the availability of a vulnerability …
Binary Classifiers For Noisy Datasets: A Comparative Study Of Existing Quantum Machine Learning Frameworks And Some New Approaches, Nikolaos Schetakis, Davit Aghamalyan, Paul Robert Griffin, Michael Boguslavsky
Binary Classifiers For Noisy Datasets: A Comparative Study Of Existing Quantum Machine Learning Frameworks And Some New Approaches, Nikolaos Schetakis, Davit Aghamalyan, Paul Robert Griffin, Michael Boguslavsky
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This technology offer is a quantum machine learning algorithm applied to binary classification models for noisy datasets which are prevalent in financial and other datasets. By combining hybrid-neural networks, quantum parametric circuits, and data re-uploading we have improved the classification of non-convex 2-dimensional figures by understanding learning stability as noise increases in the dataset. The metric we use for assessing the performance of our quantum classifiers is the area under the receiver operator curve (ROC AUC). We are interested to collaborate with partners with use cases for binary classification of noisy data. Also, as quantum technology is still insufficient for …
On A Multistage Discrete Stochastic Optimization Problem With Stochastic Constraints And Nested Sampling, Thuy Anh Ta, Tien Mai, Fabian Bastin, Pierre L'Ecuyer
On A Multistage Discrete Stochastic Optimization Problem With Stochastic Constraints And Nested Sampling, Thuy Anh Ta, Tien Mai, Fabian Bastin, Pierre L'Ecuyer
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We consider a multistage stochastic discrete program in which constraints on any stage might involve expectations that cannot be computed easily and are approximated by simulation. We study a sample average approximation (SAA) approach that uses nested sampling, in which at each stage, a number of scenarios are examined and a number of simulation replications are performed for each scenario to estimate the next-stage constraints. This approach provides an approximate solution to the multistage problem. To establish the consistency of the SAA approach, we first consider a two-stage problem and show that in the second-stage problem, given a scenario, the …
Investigating The Effects Of Dimension-Specific Sentiments On Product Sales: The Perspective Of Sentiment Preferences, Cuiqing Jiang, Jianfei Wang, Qian Tang, Xiaozhong Lyu
Investigating The Effects Of Dimension-Specific Sentiments On Product Sales: The Perspective Of Sentiment Preferences, Cuiqing Jiang, Jianfei Wang, Qian Tang, Xiaozhong Lyu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
While literature has reached a consensus on the awareness effect of online word-of-mouth (eWOM), this paper studies its persuasive effect, specifically, the dimension-specific sentiment effects on product sales. We allow the sentiment information in eWOM along different product dimensions to have different persuasive effects on consumers’ purchase decisions. This occurs because of consumers’ sentiment preference, which is defined as the relative importance consumers place on various dimension-specific sentiments. We use an aspect-level sentiment analysis to derive the dimension-specific sentiments and PVAR (panel vector auto-regression) models to estimate their effects on product sales using a movie panel dataset. The findings show …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
With the ubiquity of mobile devices and rapid development of cloud computing, mobile cloud computing (MCC) has been considered as an essential computation setting to support complicated, scalable and flexible mobile applications by overcoming the physical limitations of mobile devices with the aid of cloud. In the MCC setting, since many mobile applications (e.g., map apps) interacting with cloud server and application server need to perform computation with the private data of users, it is important to realize secure computation for MCC. In this article, we propose an efficient server-aided secure two-party computation (2PC) protocol for MCC. This is the …

Patchnet: Hierarchical Deep Learning-Based Stable Patch Identification For The Linux Kernel, Thong Hoang, Julia Lawall, Yuan Tian, Richard J. Oentaryo, David Lo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Linux kernel stable versions serve the needs of users who value stability of the kernel over new features. The quality of such stable versions depends on the initiative of kernel developers and maintainers to propagate bug fixing patches to the stable versions. Thus, it is desirable to consider to what extent this process can be automated. A previous approach relies on words from commit messages and a small set of manually constructed code features. This approach, however, shows only moderate accuracy. In this paper, we investigate whether deep learning can provide a more accurate solution. We propose PatchNet, a hierarchical …
Does Active Service Intervention Drive More Complaints On Social Media? The Roles Of Service Quality And Awareness, Shujing Sun, Yang Gao, Huaxia Rui
Does Active Service Intervention Drive More Complaints On Social Media? The Roles Of Service Quality And Awareness, Shujing Sun, Yang Gao, Huaxia Rui
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Despite many advantages of social media as a customer service channel, there is a concern that active service intervention encourages excessive service complaints. Our paper casts doubt on this misconception by examining the dynamics between social media customer complaints and brand service interventions. We find service interventions indeed cause more complaints, yet this increase is driven by service awareness rather than chronic complaining. Due to the publicity and connectivity of social media, customers learn about the new service channel by observing customer service delivery to others – a mechanism that is unique to social media customer service and does not …

On Lexicographic Proof Rules For Probabilistic Termination, Krishnendu Chatterjee, Ehsan Kafshdar Goharshady, Petr Novotný, Jiří Zárevucký, Dorde Zikelic
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We consider the almost-sure (a.s.) termination problem for probabilistic programs, which are a stochastic extension of classical imperative programs. Lexicographic ranking functions provide a sound and practical approach for termination of non-probabilistic programs, and their extension to probabilistic programs is achieved via lexicographic ranking supermartingales (LexRSMs). However, LexRSMs introduced in the previous work have a limitation that impedes their automation: all of their components have to be non-negative in all reachable states. This might result in LexRSM not existing even for simple terminating programs. Our contributions are twofold: First, we introduce a generalization of LexRSMs which allows for some components …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Task-oriented dialogue agents are built to assist users in completing various tasks. Generating appropriate responses for satisfactory task completion is the ultimate goal. Hence, as a convenient and straightforward way, metrics such as success rate, inform rate etc., have been widely leveraged to evaluate the generated responses. However, beyond task completion, there are several other factors that largely affect user satisfaction, which remain under-explored. In this work, we focus on analyzing different agent behavior patterns that lead to higher user satisfaction scores. Based on the findings, we design a neural response generation model EnRG. It naturally combines the power of …

Learning Knowledge-Enriched Company Embeddings For Investment Management, Gary Ang, Ee-Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Relationships between companies serve as key channels through which the effects of past stock price movements and news events propagate and influence future price movements. Such relationships can be implicitly found in knowledge bases or explicitly represented as knowledge graphs. In this paper, we propose KnowledgeEnriched Company Embedding (KECE), a novel multi-stage attentionbased dynamic network embedding model combining multimodal information of companies with knowledge from Wikipedia and knowledge graph relationships from Wikidata to generate company entity embeddings that can be applied to a variety of downstream investment management tasks. Experiments on an extensive set of real-world stock prices and news …

Adaptive Posterior Knowledge Selection For Improving Knowledge-Grounded Dialogue Generation, Weichao Wang, Wei Gao, Shi Feng, Ling Chen, Daling Wang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In open-domain dialogue systems, knowledge information such as unstructured persona profiles, text descriptions and structured knowledge graph can help incorporate abundant background facts for delivering more engaging and informative responses. Existing studies attempted to model a general posterior distribution over candidate knowledge by considering the entire response utterance as a whole at the beginning of decoding process for knowledge selection. However, a single smooth distribution could fail to model the variability of knowledge selection patterns over different decoding steps, and make the knowledge expression less consistent. To remedy this issue, we propose an adaptive posterior knowledge selection framework, which sequentially …

Span-Level Emotion Cause Analysis With Neural Sequence Tagging, Xiangju Li, Wei Gao, Shi Feng, Daling Wang, Shafiq Joty
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper addresses the task of span-level emotion cause analysis (SECA). It is a finer-grained emotion cause analysis (ECA) task, which aims to identify the specific emotion cause span(s) behind certain emotions in text. In this paper, we formalize SECA as a sequence tagging task for which several variants of neural network-based sequence tagging models to extract specific emotion cause span(s) in the given context. These models combine different types of encoding and decoding approaches. Furthermore, to make our models more "emotionally sensitive'', we utilize the multi-head attention mechanism to enhance the representation of context. Experimental evaluations conducted on two …

From Community Search To Community Understanding: A Multimodal Community Query Engine, Zhao Li, Pengcheng Zou, Xia Chen, Shichang Hu, Peng Zhang, Yumou Zhou, Bingsheng He, Yuchen Li, Xing Tang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this demo, we present an online multi-modal community query engine (MQE1 ) on Alibaba’s billion-scale heterogeneous network. MQE has two distinct features in comparison with existing community query engines. Firstly, MQE supports multimodal community search on heterogeneous graphs with keyword and image queries. Secondly, to facilitate community understanding in real business scenarios, MQE generates natural language descriptions for the retrieved community in combination with other useful demographic information. The distinct features of MQE benefit many downstream applications in Alibaba’s e-commerce platform like recommendation. Our experiments confirm the effectiveness and efficiency of MQE on graphs with billions of edges.

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Searchable Encryption (SE) enables private queries on encrypted documents. Most existing SE schemes focus on constructing industrialready, practical solutions at the expense of information leakages that are considered acceptable. In particular, ShadowCrypt utilizes a cryptographic approach named “efficiently deployable, efficiently searchable encryption” (EDESE) that reveals the encrypted dataset and the query tokens among other information. However, recent attacks showed that such leakages can be exploited to (partially) recover the underlying keywords of query tokens under certain assumptions on the attacker’s background knowledge. We continue this line of work by presenting LEAP, a new leakageabuse attack on EDESE schemes that can …

Active flipped classroom learning is stipulated with faculty structuring the activities involving constructive interactions, either formal or informal. Sharing ideas and responding to ideas improve the cognitive skills of the students. Encouraging peers to contribute to class activities and respecting peers contribute to the development of affective skills. We present an integrated platform for cognitive and affective skills development. A flipped classroom arrangement allows the faculty to focus more on in-class activities such as programming and lab exercises to support active learning in computing courses.

K-Sums Clustering: A Stochastic Optimization Approach, Zhao Wan-Lei, Shi Ying Lan, Run-Qing Chen, Chong-Wah Ngo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we revisit the decades-old clustering method k-means. The egg-chicken loop in traditional k-means has been replaced by a pure stochastic optimization procedure. The optimization is undertaken from the perspective of each individual sample. Different from existing incremental k-means, an individual sample is tentatively joined into a new cluster to evaluate its distance to the corresponding new centroid, in which the contribution from this sample is accounted. The sample is moved to this new cluster concretely only after we find the reallocation makes the sample closer to the new centroid than it is to the current one. Compared …

Automating Developer Chat Mining, Shengyi Pan, Lingfeng Bao, Xiaoxue Ren, Xin Xia, David Lo, Shanping Li
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Online chatrooms are gaining popularity as a communication channel between widely distributed developers of Open Source Software (OSS) projects. Most discussion threads in chatrooms follow a Q&A format, with some developers (askers) raising an initial question and others (respondents) joining in to provide answers. These discussion threads are embedded with rich information that can satisfy the diverse needs of various OSS stakeholders. However, retrieving information from threads is challenging as it requires a thread-level analysis to understand the context. Moreover, the chat data is transient and unstructured, consisting of entangled informal conversations. In this paper, we address this challenge by …

Automating User Notice Generation For Smart Contract Functions, Xing Hu, Zhipeng Gao, Xin Xia, David Lo, Xiaohu Yang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Smart contracts have obtained much attention and are crucial for automatic financial and business transactions. For end-users who have never seen the source code, they can read the user notice shown in end-user client to understand what a transaction does of a smart contract function. However, due to time constraints or lack of motivation, user notice is often missing during the development of smart contracts. For endusers who lack the information of the user notices, there is no easy way for them to check the code semantics of the smart contracts. Thus, in this paper, we propose a new approach …

Sofi: Reflection-Augmented Fuzzing For Javascript Engines, Xiaoyu He, Xiaofei Xie, Yuekang Li, Jianwen Sun, Feng Li, Wei Zou, Yang Liu, Lei Yu, Jianhua Zhou, Wenchang Shi, Wei Huo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
JavaScript engines have been shown prone to security vulnerabilities, which can lead to serious consequences due to their popularity. Fuzzing is an effective testing technique to discover vulnerabilities. The main challenge of fuzzing JavaScript engines is to generate syntactically and semantically valid inputs such that deep functionalities can be explored. However, due to the dynamic nature of JavaScript and the special features of different engines, it is quite challenging to generate semantically meaningful test inputs.We observed that state-of-the-art semantic-aware JavaScript fuzzers usually require manually written rules to analyze the semantics for a JavaScript engine, which is labor-intensive, incomplete and engine-specific. …
Self-Supervised Multi-Class Pre-Training For Unsupervised Anomaly Detection And Segmentation In Medical Images, Yu Tian, Fengbei Liu, Guansong Pang, Yuanhong Chen, Yuyuan Liu, Johan W. Verjans, Rajvinder Singh
Self-Supervised Multi-Class Pre-Training For Unsupervised Anomaly Detection And Segmentation In Medical Images, Yu Tian, Fengbei Liu, Guansong Pang, Yuanhong Chen, Yuyuan Liu, Johan W. Verjans, Rajvinder Singh
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD) that requires only normal (healthy) training images is an important tool for enabling the development of medical image analysis (MIA) applications, such as disease screening, since it is often difficult to collect and annotate abnormal (or disease) images in MIA. However, heavily relying on the normal images may cause the model training to overfit the normal class. Self-supervised pre-training is an effective solution to this problem. Unfortunately, current self-supervision methods adapted from computer vision are sub-optimal for MIA applications because they do not explore MIA domain knowledge for designing the pretext tasks or the training process. …

As the world battles yet another crisis because of the spread of COVID-19, the idea of digitalization brings about a whole new meaning. Many professionals and information technology (IT) managers have remarked that the spread of the coronavirus has accelerated the pace of digital transformation much more so than any effort put forth by C-suite executives. While it is true that most organizations do not accept new technology readily because of embedded legacy systems, changing the corporate cultures does play an important role in affecting the rate of IT adoption. Very often, leaders and senior executives focus on the technological …
