An Interference-Free Programming Model For Network Objects, Mischael Schill, Christopher M. Poskitt, Bertrand Meyer
An Interference-Free Programming Model For Network Objects, Mischael Schill, Christopher M. Poskitt, Bertrand Meyer
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Network objects are a simple and natural abstraction for distributed object-oriented programming. Languages that support network objects, however, often leave synchronization to the user, along with its associated pitfalls, such as data races and the possibility of failure. In this paper, we present D-Scoop, a distributed programming model that allows for interference-free and transaction-like reasoning on (potentially multiple) network objects, with synchronization handled automatically, and network failures managed by a compensation mechanism. We achieve this by leveraging the runtime semantics of a multi-threaded object-oriented concurrency model, directly generalizing it with a message-based protocol for efficiently coordinating remote objects. We present …
Exemplar-Driven Top-Down Saliency Detection Via Deep Association, Shengfeng He, Rynson W. H. Lau, Qingxiong Yang
Exemplar-Driven Top-Down Saliency Detection Via Deep Association, Shengfeng He, Rynson W. H. Lau, Qingxiong Yang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Top-down saliency detection is a knowledge-driven search task. While some previous methods aim to learn this "knowledge" from category-specific data, others transfer existing annotations in a large dataset through appearance matching. In contrast, we propose in this paper a locateby-exemplar strategy. This approach is challenging, as we only use a few exemplars (up to 4) and the appearances among the query object and the exemplars can be very different. To address it, we design a two-stage deep model to learn the intra-class association between the exemplars and query objects. The first stage is for learning object-to-object association, and the second …

Leather is an integral part of the world economy and a substantial income source for developing countries. Despite government regulations on leather tannery waste emissions, inspection agencies lack adequate enforcement resources, and tanneries’ toxic wastewaters wreak havoc on surrounding ecosystems and communities. Previous works in this domain stop short of generating executable solutions for inspection agencies. We introduce NECTAR - the first security game application to generate environmental compliance inspection schedules. NECTAR’s game model addresses many important real-world constraints: a lack of defender resources is alleviated via a secondary inspection type; imperfect inspections are modeled via a heterogeneous failure rate; …

Recently, a branch of machine learning algorithms called deep learning gained huge attention to boost up accuracy of a variety of sensing applications. However, execution of deep learning algorithm such as convolutional neural network on mobile processor is non-trivial due to intensive computational requirements. In this paper, we present our early design of DeepSense - a mobile GPU-based deep convolutional neural network (CNN) framework. For its design, we first explored the differences between server-class and mobile-class GPUs, and studied effectiveness of various optimization strategies such as branch divergence elimination and memory vectorization. Our results show that DeepSense is able to …

Demo: Drumming Application Using Commodity Wearable Devices, Bharat Dwivedi, Archan Misra, Youngki Lee
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We aim to develop a drumming application in which individual can play drums using multiple wearable and mobile devices. Our vision is to tap out different rythms in the air using smart watches as a virtual drum stick and smart phone would act as a drum kit. Same user interface can be visualized in smart glasses. Here, our prime target is to use multiple commodity wearable devices (non-commodity i.e. Myo arm band) and smart phones for recognizing new (or same type of here) types of multi limb gestural context and building an adaptive application interface and allow such gesture recognition …

In this demo, we show that it is feasible to execute CNN for vision sensing tasks directly on mobile devices by leveraging integrated GPU. We propose our design of DeepSense framework based on OpenCL to execute deep learning algorithms in energy-efficient and fast manner.
Iccdetector: Icc-Based Malware Detection On Android, Xu Ke, Yingjiu Li, Robert H. Deng
Iccdetector: Icc-Based Malware Detection On Android, Xu Ke, Yingjiu Li, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Most existing mobile malware detection methods (e.g., Kirin and DroidMat) are designed based on the resources required by malwares (e.g., permissions, application programming interface (API) calls, and system calls). These methods capture the interactions between mobile apps and Android system, but ignore the communications among components within or cross application boundaries. As a consequence, the majority of the existing methods are less effective in identifying many typical malwares, which require a few or no suspicious resources, but leverage on inter-component communication (ICC) mechanism when launching stealthy attacks. To address this challenge, we propose a new malware detection method, named ICCDetector. …

Jasper: Sensing Gamers' Emotions Using Physiological Sensors, Sinh Huynh, Youngki Lee, Taiwoo Park, Rajesh Krishna Balan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper aims to develop a system that evaluates the emotional experience of gamers based on physiological changes. A within-subject experiment with 22 participants has been designed to investigate the effects of difficulty level and social playing mode on player emotions and to examine the correlation between each emotion and the physiological changes. We demonstrate the feasibility of using commodity wearable physiological sensing devices to recognize mobile gamer's emotion. Specifically, our system performs 3-level excitement classification at an accuracy of 77.38% and binary classification of happiness state at an accuracy of 73.21%. These classification results show the potential of using …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we present the results of a small-scale field deployment of our capacitance-based seat occupancy detector. We deployed our sensors to 36 seats in our university library and measured the performance of our system over a period of 8 weeks. As part of this deployment, we had to tackle numerous real-world deployment issues such as hardware failure, variations in signal quality, and interference caused by multiple objects in near proximity. We present our overall system design, along with the modifications we made to tackle various real-world problems. Finally, we present the results of our deployment which showed that …

Designing And Comparing Multiple Portfolios Of Parameter Configurations For Online Algorithm Selection, Aldy Gunawan, Hoong Chuin Lau, Mustafa Misir
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Algorithm portfolios seek to determine an effective set of algorithms that can be used within an algorithm selection framework to solve problems. A limited number of these portfolio studies focus on generating different versions of a target algorithm using different parameter configurations. In this paper, we employ a Design of Experiments (DOE) approach to determine a promising range of values for each parameter of an algorithm. These ranges are further processed to determine a portfolio of parameter configurations, which would be used within two online Algorithm Selection approaches for solving different instances of a given combinatorial optimization problem effectively. We …

Strategic Planning For Setting Up Base Stations In Emergency Medical Systems, Supriyo Ghosh, Pradeep Varakantham
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Emergency Medical Systems (EMSs) are an important component of public health-care services. Improving infrastructure for EMS and specifically the construction of base stations at the ”right” locations to reduce response times is the main focus of this paper. This is a computationally challenging task because of the: (a) exponentially large action space arising from having to consider combinations of potential base locations, which themselves can be significant; and (b) direct impact on the performance of the ambulance allocation problem, where we decide allocation of ambulances to bases. We present an incremental greedy approach to discover the placement of bases that …

Robust Partial Order Schedules For Rcpsp/Max With Durational Uncertainty, Na Fu, Pradeep Varakantham, Hoong Chuin Lau
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this work, we consider RCPSP/max with durational uncertainty. We focus on computing robust Partial Order Schedules (or, in short POS) which can be executed with risk controlled feasibility and optimality, i.e., there is stochastic posteriori quality guarantee that the derived POS can be executed with all constraints honored and completion before robust makespan. To address this problem, we propose BACCHUS: a solution method on Benders Accelerated Cut Creation for Handling Uncertainty in Scheduling. In our proposed approach, we first give an MILP formulation for the deterministic RCPSP/max and partition the model into POS generation process and start time schedule …

Deduplication On Encrypted Big Data In Cloud, Zheng Yan, Wenxiu Ding, Xixun Yu, Haiqi Zhu, Deng, Robert H.
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Cloud computing offers a new way of service provision by re-arranging various resources over the Internet. The most important and popular cloud service is data storage. In order to preserve the privacy of data holders, data are often stored in cloud in an encrypted form. However, encrypted data introduce new challenges for cloud data deduplication, which becomes crucial for big data storage and processing in cloud. Traditional deduplication schemes cannot work on encrypted data. Existing solutions of encrypted data deduplication suffer from security weakness. They cannot flexibly support data access control and revocation. Therefore, few of them can be readily …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This work presents Sonicnect, an acoustic sensing system with smartphone that enables accurate hands-free gesture input. Sonicnect leverages the embedded microphone in the smartphone to capture the subtle audio signals generated with fingers touching on the table. It supports 9 commonly used gestures (click, flip, scroll and zoom, etc) with above 92% recognition accuracy, and the minimum gesture movement could be 2cm. Distinguishable features are then extracted by exploiting spatio-temporal and frequency properties of the subtle audio signals. We conduct extensive real environment experiments to evaluate its performance. The results validate the effectiveness and robustness of Sonicnect.

Dual Formulations For Optimizing Dec-Pomdp Controllers, Akshat Kumar, Hala Mostafa, Shlomo Zilberstein
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Decentralized POMDP is an expressive model for multi-agent planning. Finite-state controllers (FSCs)---often used to represent policies for infinite-horizon problems---offer a compact, simple-to-execute policy representation. We exploit novel connections between optimizing decentralized FSCs and the dual linear program for MDPs. Consequently, we describe a dual mixed integer linear program (MIP) for optimizing deterministic FSCs. We exploit the Dec-POMDP structure to devise a compact MIP and formulate constraints that result in policies executable in partially-observable decentralized settings. We show analytically that the dual formulation can also be exploited within the expectation maximization (EM) framework to optimize stochastic FSCs. The resulting EM algorithm …

Self-Organizing Neural Network For Adaptive Operator Selection In Evolutionary Search, Teck Hou Teng, Stephanus Daniel Handoko, Hoong Chuin Lau
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Evolutionary Algorithm is a well-known meta-heuristics paradigm capable of providing high-quality solutions to computationally hard problems. As with the other meta-heuristics, its performance is often attributed to appropriate design choices such as the choice of crossover operators and some other parameters. In this chapter, we propose a continuous state Markov Decision Process model to select crossover operators based on the states during evolutionary search. We propose to find the operator selection policy efficiently using a self-organizing neural network, which is trained offline using randomly selected training samples. The trained neural network is then verified on test instances not used for …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We conduct computational experiment using Facebook data to evaluate competing firms’ initial market seeding and subsequent targeted marketing strategies that influence consumers’ new product adoption decisions. We find that firms generally overspend their advertising budget in the market seeding phase. In the subsequent market advertising phase, a coupon strategy (equivalent to price discount) generally yields higher market share than the strategy of distributing free product samples. The effect is more significant when both price and product quality are low. We offer managerial insights into firms’ effective competition strategies for new product introduction in the presence of consumers’ word of mouth …

An Economic Analysis Of Consumer Learning For Online Entertainment Shopping, Jin Li, Zhiling Guo, Geoffrey K.F. Tso
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Entertainment shopping supported by pay-to-bid auction is an emerging online business model in recent years. Consumers expect both entertainment value and monetary return from their participation in entertainment shopping. We propose a dynamic structural model to study consumers’ online shopping behavior. We analyze the learning process of consumers from two perspectives based on the Bayesian updating framework: (1) consumers update their beliefs about the entertainment value through their repeated personal participation experiences, and (2) consumers infer the expected monetary payoffs on the website by observing the publically available auction ending price information. We estimate the model using a large dataset …

Learning Natural Language Inference With Lstm, Shuohang Wang, Jing Jiang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Natural language inference (NLI) is a fundamentally important task in natural language processing that has many applications. The recently released Stanford Natural Language Inference (SNLI) corpus has made it possible to develop and evaluate learning-centered methods such as deep neural networks for natural language inference (NLI). In this paper, we propose a special long short-term memory (LSTM) architecture for NLI. Our model builds on top of a recently proposed neural attention model for NLI but is based on a significantly different idea. Instead of deriving sentence embeddings for the premise and the hypothesis to be used for classification, our solution …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
A graph-based multi-class classification problem is typically converted into a collection of binary classification tasks via the one-vs.-all strategy, and then tackled by applying proper binary classification algorithms. Unlike the one-vs.-all strategy, we suggest a unified framework which operates directly on the multi-class problem without reducing it to a collection of binary tasks. Moreover, this framework makes active learning practically feasible for multi-class problems, while the one-vs.-all strategy cannot. Specifically, we employ a novel randomized query technique to prioritize the informative instances. This query technique based on the hybrid criterion of "margin" and "uncertainty" can achieve a comparable mistake bound …

Demo: Wearable Application To Manage Problem Behavior In Children With Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Camellia Zakaria, Richard C. Davis
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Managing problem behaviors in children with neurodevelopmental disorders can be challenging. Such behaviors may discourage social participation and learning. Many of these behaviors warrant intervention, however, are challenging for caregivers to constantly supervise. Previous work focused on developing recognition systems for stereotypical and aggressive behaviors. Researchers also developed visualization interface for caregivers to better understand their child’s needs. Our goal however, is to design an independent behavior management application to help children manage problem behaviors with minimal supervision.We conducted a field study at a school for children with special needs in Singapore, and interviewed ten teachers. This study helped us …

In practice, some bugs have more impact than others and thus deserve more immediate attention. Due to tight schedule and limited human resource, developers may not have enough time to inspect all bugs. Thus, they often concentrate on bugs that are highly impactful. In the literature, high impact bugs are used to refer to the bugs which appear in unexpected time or locations and bring more unexpected effects, or break pre-existing functionalities and destroy the user experience. Unfortunately, identifying high impact bugs from the thousands of bug reports in a bug tracking system is not an easy feat. Thus, an …

Over the past decade, the number of mobile phones has increased dramatically, overtaking the world population in October 2014. In developing countries like India and China, mobile subscribers outnumber traditional landline users and account for over 90% of the active population. At the same time, convergence of telephony with the Internet with technologies like VoIP makes it possible to reach a large number of telephone users at a low or no cost via voice calls or SMS (short message service) messages. As a consequence, cybercriminals are abusing the telephony channel to launch attacks, e.g., scams that offer fraudulent services and …

Cace: Exploiting Behavioral Interactions For Improved Activity Recognition In Multi-Inhabitant Smart Homes, Mohammad Arif Ul Alam, Nirmalya Roy, Archan Misra, Joseph Taylor
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We propose CACE (Constraints And Correlations mining Engine) which investigates the challenges of improving the recognition of complex daily activities in multi-inhabitant smart homes, by better exploiting the spatiotemporal relationships across the activities of different individuals. We first propose and develop a loosely-coupled Hierarchical Dynamic Bayesian Network (HDBN), which both (a) captures the hierarchical inference of complex (macro-activity) contexts from lower-layer microactivity context (postural and improved oral gestural context), and (b) embeds the various types of behavioral correlations and constraints (at both micro-and macro-activity contexts) across the individuals. While this model is rich in terms of accuracy, it is computationally …

While smartphones have undoubtedly afforded many modern conveniences such as emails, instant messaging or web search, the notifications from smartphones conversely impact our lives through a deluge of information, or stress arising from expectations that we should turn our immediate attention to them (e.g., work emails). In my latest research, we find that the glanceability of smartwatches may provide an opportunity to reduce the perceived disruption from mobile notifications. Text is a common medium for communication in smart devices, the application of natural language processing on text, together with the physical affordances of smartwatches, present exciting opportunities for research to …
