Food retrieval is an important task to perform analysis of food-related information, where we are interested in retrieving relevant information about the queried food item such as ingredients, cooking instructions, etc. In this paper, we investigate cross-modal retrieval between food images and cooking recipes. The goal is to learn an embedding of images and recipes in a common feature space, such that the corresponding image-recipe embeddings lie close to one another. Two major challenges in addressing this problem are 1) large intra-variance and small inter-variance across cross-modal food data; and 2) difficulties in obtaining discriminative recipe representations. To address these …

The precision of insulin dosage is essential in the process of diabetes treatment. The fact is providing precise dosage is almost impossible for clinicians since blood sugar levels are dynamically affected by many factors. Even though some auxiliary dosing systems have been proposed, the required real‐time physical data about the health situation of diabetics is still hard to synchronize to the end‐devices instantly. The traditional personalized drug delivery frameworks for accurate dosing of insulin always collect and transmit medical data in cleartext, which raises privacy problems. In this article, we propose a framework for an optimized insulin dosage via privacy‐preserving …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Digital banking refers to the delivery of interactive financial services through online mechanisms which include web and mobile apps. The main barrier to digital banking for traditional banks, is the presence of legacy core banking systems. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a key enabler to overcome this barrier, and a bank’s level of SOA maturity influences its time-to-market capability of delivering new innovative digital banking solutions. However, most traditional banks struggle with implementing an SOA due to a number of technology and organizational challenges, and the overall steep learning curve. This paper proposes a Digital Banking Accelerator, a “starter kit” …

Selecting a small set of representatives from a large database is important in many applications such as multi-criteria decision making, web search, and recommendation. The k-regret minimizing set (k-RMS) problem was recently proposed for representative tuple discovery. Specifically, for a large database P of tuples with multiple numerical attributes, the k-RMS problem returns a size-r subset Q of P such that, for any possible ranking function, the score of the top-ranked tuple in Q is not much worse than the score of the kth-ranked tuple in P. Although the k-RMS problem has been extensively studied in the literature, existing methods …

Mixed dish is a food category that contains different dishes mixed in one plate, and is popular in Eastern and Southeast Asia. Recognizing the individual dishes in a mixed dish image is important for health related applications, e.g. to calculate the nutrition values of the dish. However, most existing methods that focus on single dish classification are not applicable to the recognition of mixed dish images. The main challenge of mixed dish recognition comes from three aspects: a wide range of dish types, the complex dish combination with severe overlap between different dishes and the large visual variances of same …

App reviews deliver user opinions and emerging issues (e.g., new bugs) about the app releases. Due to the dynamic nature of app reviews, topics and sentiment of the reviews would change along with app release versions. Although several studies have focused on summarizing user opinions by analyzing user sentiment towards app features, no practical tool is released. The large quantity of reviews and noise words also necessitates an automated tool for monitoring user reviews. In this paper, we introduce TOUR for dynamic TOpic and sentiment analysis of User Reviews. TOUR is able to (i) detect and summarize emerging app issues …

Social identification: how much individuals psychologically associate themselves with a group has been posited as an essential construct to measure individual and group dynamics. Studies have shown that individuals who identify very differently from their workgroup provides critical cues to the lack of social support or work overloads. However, measuring identification is typically achieved through time-consuming and privacy invasive surveys. We hypothesize that the extremitized in-group norm affects individuals' behaviors, thus more likely to give rise to negative appraisals. As a more convenient and less-invasive technique, we propose a method to predict individuals who are increasingly different in identifying themselves …

Dbl: Efficient Reachability Queries On Dynamic Graphs, Qiuyi Lyu, Yuchen Li, Bingsheng He, Bin Gong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Reachability query is a fundamental problem on graphs, which has been extensively studied in academia and industry. Since graphs are subject to frequent updates in many applications, it is essential to support efficient graph updates while offering good performance in reachability queries. Existing solutions compress the original graph with the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and propose efficient query processing and index update techniques. However, they focus on optimizing the scenarios where the Strong Connected Components (SCCs) remain unchanged and have overlooked the prohibitively high cost of the DAG maintenance when SCCs are updated. In this paper, we propose DBL, an …

In addition to text data analysis, image analysis is an area that has increasingly gained importance in recent years because more and more image data have spread throughout the internet and real life. As an important segment of image analysis techniques, image restoration has been attracting a lot of researchers’ attention. As one of AI methodologies, Self-organizing Maps (SOMs) have been applied to a great number of useful applications. However, it has rarely been applied to the domain of image restoration. In this paper, we propose a novel image restoration method by leveraging the capability of SOMs, and we name …

Built-in pervasive cameras have become an integral part of mobile/wearable devices and enabled a wide range of ubiquitous applications with their ability to be "always-on". In particular, life-logging has been identified as a means to enhance the quality of life of older adults by allowing them to reminisce about their own life experiences. However, the sensitive images captured by the cameras threaten individuals' right to have private social lives and raise concerns about privacy and security in the physical world. This threat gets worse when image recognition technologies can link images to people, scenes, and objects, hence, implicitly and unexpectedly …

Learning Network-Based Multi-Modal Mobile User Interface Embeddings, Gary Ang, Ee-Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Rich multi-modal information - text, code, images, categorical and numerical data - co-exist in the user interface (UI) design of mobile applications. UI designs are composed of UI entities supporting different functions which together enable the application. To support effective search and recommendation applications over mobile UIs, we need to be able to learn UI representations that integrate latent semantics. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised model - Multi-modal Attention-based Attributed Network Embedding (MAAN) model. MAAN is designed to capture both multi-modal and structural network information. Based on the encoder-decoder framework, MAAN aims to learn UI representations that …

Practical Server-Side Wifi-Based Indoor Localization: Addressing Cardinality & Outlier Challenges For Improved Occupancy Estimation, Anuradha Ravi, Archan Misra
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Server-side WiFi-based indoor localization offers a compelling approach for passive occupancy estimation (i.e., without requiring active participation by client devices, such as smartphones carried by visitors), but is known to suffer from median error of 6–8 meters. By analyzing the characteristics of an operationally-deployed, WiFi-based passive indoor location system, based on the classical RADAR algorithm, we identify and tackle 2 practical challenges for accurate individual device localization. The first challenge is the low-cardinality issue, whereby only the associated AP generates sufficiently frequent RSSI reports, causing a client to experience large localization error due to the absence of sufficient measurements from …

Enconter: Entity Constrained Progressive Sequence Generation Via Insertion-Based Transformer, Lee Hsun Hsieh, Yang Yin Lee, Ee-Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Pretrained using large amount of data, autoregressive language models are able to generate high quality sequences. However, these models do not perform well under hard lexical constraints as they lack fine control of content generation process. Progressive insertion-based transformers can overcome the above limitation and efficiently generate a sequence in parallel given some input tokens as constraint. These transformers however may fail to support hard lexical constraints as their generation process is more likely to terminate prematurely. The paper analyses such early termination problems and proposes the ENtity-CONstrained insertion TransformER (ENCONTER), a new insertion transformer that addresses the above pitfall …

Context: Software developers often use open-source libraries in their project to improve development speed. However, such libraries may contain security vulnerabilities, and this has resulted in several high-profile incidents in re- cent years. As usage of open-source libraries grows, understanding of these dependency vulnerabilities becomes increasingly important. Objective: In this work, we analyze vulnerabilities in open-source libraries used by 450 software projects written in Java, Python, and Ruby. Our goal is to examine types, distribution, severity, and persistence of the vulnerabili- ties, along with relationships between their prevalence and project as well as commit attributes. Method: Our data is obtained …

Spectest: Specification-Based Compiler Testing, Richard Schumi, Jun Sun
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Compilers are error-prone due to their high complexity. They are relevant for not only general purpose programming languages, but also for many domain specific languages. Bugs in compilers can potentially render all programs at risk. It is thus crucial that compilers are systematically tested, if not verified. Recently, a number of efforts have been made to formalise and standardise programming language semantics, which can be applied to verify the correctness of the respective compilers. In this work, we present a novel specification-based testing method named SpecTest to better utilise these semantics for testing. By applying an executable semantics as test …

Towards Efficient Motif-Based Graph Partitioning: An Adaptive Sampling Approach, Shixun Huang, Yuchen Li, Zhifeng Bao, Zhao Li
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we study the problem of efficient motif-based graph partitioning (MGP). We observe that existing methods require to enumerate all motif instances to compute the exact edge weights for partitioning. However, the enumeration is prohibitively expensive against large graphs. We thus propose a sampling-based MGP (SMGP) framework that employs an unbiased sampling mechanism to efficiently estimate the edge weights while trying to preserve the partitioning quality. To further improve the effectiveness, we propose a novel adaptive sampling framework called SMGP+. SMGP+ iteratively partitions the input graph based on up-to-date estimated edge weights, and adaptively adjusts the sampling distribution …

Dycuckoo: Dynamic Hash Tables On Gpus, Yuchen Li, Qiwei Zhu, Zheng Lyu, Zhongdong Huang, Jianling Sun
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The hash table is a fundamental structure that has been implemented on graphics processing units (GPUs) to accelerate a wide range of analytics workloads. Most existing works have focused on static scenarios and occupy large GPU memory to maximize the insertion efficiency. In many cases, data stored in hash tables get updated dynamically, and existing approaches use unnecessarily large memory resources. One naïve solution is to rebuild a hash table (known as rehashing) whenever it is either filled or mostly empty. However, this approach renders significant overheads for rehashing. In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic cuckoo hash table …

Multi-Domain Dialogue State Tracking With Recursive Inference, Lizi Liao, Tongyao Zhu, Le Hong Long, Tat-Seng Chua
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Multi-domain dialogue state tracking (DST) is a critical component for monitoring user goals during the course of an interaction. Existing approaches have relied on dialogue history indiscriminately or updated on the most recent turns incrementally. However, in spite of modeling it based on fixed ontology or open vocabulary, the former setting violates the interactive and progressing nature of dialogue, while the later easily gets affected by the error accumulation conundrum. Here, we propose a Recursive Inference mechanism (ReInf) to resolve DST in multi-domain scenarios that call for more robust and accurate tracking capability. Specifically, our agent reversely reviews the dialogue …

Android platform is gaining explosive popularity. This leads developers to invest resources to maintain the upward trajectory of the demand. Unfortunately, as the profit potential grows higher, the chances of these Apps getting attacked also get higher. Therefore, developers improved the security of their Apps, which limits attackers ability to compromise upgraded versions of the Apps. However, developers cannot enhance the security of earlier versions that have been released on the Play Store. The earlier versions of the App can be subject to reverse engineering and other attacks. In this paper, we find that attackers can use these earlier versions …

Context: In-app advertising is the primary source of revenue for many mobile apps. The cost of advertising (ad cost) is non-negligible for app developers to ensure a good user experience and continuous profits. Previous studies mainly focus on addressing the hidden performance costs generated by ads, including consumption of memory, CPU, data traffic, and battery. However, there is no research on analyzing users’ perceptions of ads’ performance costs to our knowledge.Objective: To fill this gap and better understand the effects of performance costs of in-app ads on user experience, we conduct a study on analyzing user concerns about ads’ performance …

An echo chamber effect refers to the phenomena that online users revealed selective exposure and ideological segregation on political issues. Prior studies indicate the connection between the spread of misinformation and online echo chambers. In this paper, to help users escape from an echo chamber, we propose a novel news-analysis platform that provides a panoramic view of stances towards a particular event from different news media sources. Moreover, to help users better recognize the stances of news sources which published these news articles, we adopt a news stance classification model to categorize their stances into “agree”, “disagree”, “discuss”, or “unrelated” …

Homophily Outlier Detection In Non-Iid Categorical Data, Guansong Pang, Longbing Cao, Ling Chen
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Most of existing outlier detection methods assume that the outlier factors (i.e., outlierness scoring measures) of data entities (e.g., feature values and data objects) are Independent and Identically Distributed (IID). This assumption does not hold in real-world applications where the outlierness of different entities is dependent on each other and/or taken from different probability distributions (non-IID). This may lead to the failure of detecting important outliers that are too subtle to be identified without considering the non-IID nature. The issue is even intensified in more challenging contexts, e.g., high-dimensional data with many noisy features. This work introduces a novel outlier …

The ability to read, reason, and infer lies at the heart of neural reasoning architectures. After all, the ability to perform logical reasoning over language remains a coveted goal of Artificial Intelligence. To this end, models such as the Turing-complete differentiable neural computer (DNC) boast of real logical reasoning capabilities, along with the ability to reason beyond simple surface-level matching. In this brief, we propose the first probe into DNC's logical reasoning capabilities with a focus on text-based question answering (QA). More concretely, we propose a conceptually simple but effective adversarial attack based on metamorphic relations. Our proposed adversarial attack …

Urban Perception: Sensing Cities Via A Deep Interactive Multi-Task Learning Framework, Weili Guan, Zhaozheng Chen, Fuli Feng, Weifeng Liu, Liqiang Nie
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Social scientists have shown evidence that visual perceptions of urban attributes, such as safe, wealthy, and beautiful perspectives of the given cities, are highly correlated to the residents' behaviors and quality of life. Despite their significance, measuring visual perceptions of urban attributes is challenging due to the following facts: (1) Visual perceptions are subjectively contradistinctive rather than absolute. (2) Perception comparisons between image pairs are usually conducted region by region, and highly related to the specific urban attributes. And (3) the urban attributes have both the shared and specific information. To address these problems, in this article, we present a …

Weakly Supervised Segmentation Via Instance-Aware Propagation, Huang Xin, Qianshu Zhu, Yongtuo Liu, Shengfeng He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Peak Response Map (PRM) highlighting the discriminative regions can be extracted from a pre-trained classification network. We can accurately localize instances of each class with the help of these response maps. However, these maps cannot provide reliable information for segmentation even with off-the-shelf object proposals. This is because neither PRM nor the proposals know which regions can be regarded as a complete instance. In this paper, we tackle this problem by proposing an Instance-aware Cue propagation Network (ICN) with a new proposal-matching strategy. In particular, the ICN aims to filter out background distractions and cover the complete instance, while our …
