Constrained Assortment Optimization Under The Cross-Nested Logit Model, Cuong Le, Tien Mai
Constrained Assortment Optimization Under The Cross-Nested Logit Model, Cuong Le, Tien Mai
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We study the assortment optimization problem under general linear constraints, where the customer choice behavior is captured by the cross-nested logit model. In this problem, there is a set of products organized into multiple subsets (or nests), where each product can belong to more than one nest. The aim is to find an assortment to offer to customers so that the expected revenue is maximized. We show that, under the cross-nested logit model, the unconstrained assortment problem is NP-hard even when there are only two nests, and the problem is generally NP-hard to approximate to any constant factors. To tackle …

Large Language Models (LLMs) have taken the world by storm, demonstrating their ability not only to automate tedious tasks, but also to show some degree of proficiency in completing software engineering tasks. A key concern with LLMs is their “black-box” nature, which obscures their internal workings and could lead to societal biases in their outputs. In the software engineering context, in this early results paper, we empirically explore how well LLMs can automate recruitment tasks for a geographically diverse software team. We use OpenAI's ChatGPT to conduct an initial set of experiments using GitHub User Profiles from four regions to …

Retrofitting A Legacy Cutlery Washing Machine Using Computer Vision, Hua Leong Fwa
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Industry 4.0, the digitalization of manufacturing promises to lead to lowered cost, efficient processes and even discovery of new business models. However, many of the enterprises have huge investments in legacy machines which are not 'smart'. In this study, we thus designed a cost-efficient solution to retrofit a legacy conveyor belt-based cutlery washing machine with a commodity web camera. We then applied computer vision (using both traditional image processing and deep learning techniques) to infer the speed and utilization of the machine. We detailed the algorithms that we designed for computing both speed andutilization. With the existing operational constraints of …
Joint Weakly Supervised Image Emotion Analysis Based On Interclass Discrimination And Intraclass Correlation, Xinyue Zhang, Zhaoxia Wang, Guitao Cao, Seng-Beng Ho
Joint Weakly Supervised Image Emotion Analysis Based On Interclass Discrimination And Intraclass Correlation, Xinyue Zhang, Zhaoxia Wang, Guitao Cao, Seng-Beng Ho
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Regional information-based image emotion analysis has recently garnered significant attention. However, existing methods often focus on identifying region proposals through layered steps or merely rely on visual saliency. These approaches may lead to an underestimation of emotional categories and a lack of comprehensive interclass discrimination perception and emotional intraclass contextual mining. To address these limitations, we propose a novel approach named InterIntraIEA, which combines interclass discrimination and intraclass correlation joint learning capabilities for image emotion analysis. The proposed method not only employs category-specific dictionary learning for class adaptation, but also models intraclass contextual relationships and perceives correlations at the channel …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In social service centers, practitioners engage in conversations with clients with dementia to facilitate their daily activities and provide support when they are distressed. However, the nature of the care demands the practitioner’s active engagement, which becomes difficult to deliver as the number of people who need care expands. Researchers have been investigating the efficacy of developing agents that assume conversational tasks to alleviate this work. To contribute to the future design of agents for caregiving, we collected and analyzed ten conversations between clients with mild dementia and practitioners who provide care. Our analyses of turn-taking dynamics and dialogue acts …

Temporal Relational Graph Convolutional Network Approach To Financial Performance Prediction, Jeyaraman Brindha Priyadarshini, Bing Tian Dai, Yuan Fang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Accurately predicting financial entity performance remains a challenge due to the dynamic nature of financial markets and vast unstructured textual data. Financial knowledge graphs (FKGs) offer a structured representation for tackling this problem by representing complex financial relationships and concepts. However, constructing a comprehensive and accurate financial knowledge graph that captures the temporal dynamics of financial entities is non-trivial. We introduce FintechKG, a comprehensive financial knowledge graph developed through a three-dimensional information extraction process that incorporates commercial entities and temporal dimensions and uses a financial concept taxonomy that ensures financial domain entity and relationship extraction. We propose a temporal and …

Communication protocols form the bedrock of our interconnected world, yet vulnerabilities within their implementations pose significant security threats. Recent developments have seen a surge in fuzzing-based research dedicated to uncovering these vulnerabilities within protocol implementations. However, there still lacks a systematic overview of protocol fuzzing for answering the essential questions such as what the unique challenges are, how existing works solve them, and so on. To bridge this gap, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of related works from both academia and industry. Our study includes a detailed summary of the specific challenges in protocol fuzzing and provides a systematic categorization …

Does Ceo Agreeableness Personality Mitigate Real Earnings Management?, Shan Liu, Xingying Wu, Nan Hu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Despite efforts to mitigate aggressive financial reporting, earnings management remains challenging to parties interested in inhibiting its dysfunctional effects. Using linguistic algorithms to assess CEO agreeableness personality from their unscripted texts in conference calls, we find that it is a determinant that mitigates a firm's real earnings management. Furthermore, such an effect is more pronounced when firms confront intensive market competition and financial distress and have weaker managerial entrenchment or when CEOs face stronger internal governance. Our findings persist even after we utilize several alternative real earnings management metrics and control other confounding personalities in prior earnings management studies. The …
Quantum-Enhanced Simulation-Based Optimization For Newsvendor Problems, Monit Sharma, Hoong Chuin Lau, Rudy Raymond
Quantum-Enhanced Simulation-Based Optimization For Newsvendor Problems, Monit Sharma, Hoong Chuin Lau, Rudy Raymond
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Simulation-based optimization is a widely used method to solve stochastic optimization problems. This method aims to identify an optimal solution by maximizing the expected value of the objective function. However, due to its computational complexity, the function cannot be accurately evaluated directly, hence it is estimated through simulation. Exploiting the enhanced efficiency of Quantum Amplitude Estimation (QAE) compared to classical Monte Carlo simulation, it frequently outpaces classical simulation-based optimization, resulting in notable performance enhancements in various scenarios. In this work, we make use of a quantum-enhanced algorithm for simulation-based optimization and apply it to solve a variant of the classical …

Efficient And Secure Federated Learning Against Backdoor Attacks, Yinbin Miao, Rongpeng Xie, Xinghua Li, Zhiquan Liu, Kim-Kwang Raymond Choo, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Due to the powerful representation ability and superior performance of Deep Neural Networks (DNN), Federated Learning (FL) based on DNN has attracted much attention from both academic and industrial fields. However, its transmitted plaintext data causes privacy disclosure. FL based on Local Differential Privacy (LDP) solutions can provide privacy protection to a certain extent, but these solutions still cannot achieve adaptive perturbation in DNN model. In addition, this kind of schemes cause high communication overheads due to the curse of dimensionality of DNN, and are naturally vulnerable to backdoor attacks due to the inherent distributed characteristic. To solve these issues, …

Text-Driven Video Prediction, Xue Song, Jingjing Chen, Bin Zhu, Yu-Gang Jiang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Current video generation models usually convert signals indicating appearance and motion received from inputs (e.g., image and text) or latent spaces (e.g., noise vectors) into consecutive frames, fulfilling a stochastic generation process for the uncertainty introduced by latent code sampling. However, this generation pattern lacks deterministic constraints for both appearance and motion, leading to uncontrollable and undesirable outcomes. To this end, we propose a new task called Text-driven Video Prediction (TVP). Taking the first frame and text caption as inputs, this task aims to synthesize the following frames. Specifically, appearance and motion components are provided by the image and caption …

More vehicles are connecting to the Internet of Things (IoT), transforming Vehicle Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), providing a more environmentally friendly and safer driving experience. Vehicular announcement networks show promise in vehicular communication applications. However, two major issues arise when establishing such a system. Firstly, user privacy cannot be guaranteed when messages are forwarded anonymously, thus the reliability of these messages is in question. Secondly, users often lack interest in responding to announcements. To address these problems, we introduce a Blockchain-based incentive announcement system called PIAS. This system enables anonymous message commitment in a …

Sound And Complete Witnesses For Template-Based Verification Of Ltl Properties On Polynomial Programs, Krishnendu Chatterjee, Amir Goharshady, Ehsan Goharshady, Mehrdad Karrabi, Dorde Zikelic
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We study the classical problem of verifying programs with respect to formal specifications given in the linear temporal logic (LTL). We first present novel sound and complete witnesses for LTL verification over imperative programs. Our witnesses are applicable to both verification (proving) and refutation (finding bugs) settings. We then consider LTL formulas in which atomic propositions can be polynomial constraints and turn our focus to polynomial arithmetic programs, i.e. programs in which every assignment and guard consists only of polynomial expressions. For this setting, we provide an efficient algorithm to automatically synthesize such LTL witnesses. Our synthesis procedure is both …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The SZZ algorithm is used to connect bug-fixing commits to the earlier commits that introduced bugs. This algorithm has many applications and many variants have been devised. However, there are some types of commits that cannot be traced by the SZZ algorithm, referred to as “ghost commits”. The evaluation of how these ghost commits impact the SZZ implementations remains limited. Moreover, these implementations have been evaluated on datasets created by software engineering researchers from information in bug trackers and version controlled histories. Since Oct 2013, the Linux kernel developers have started labelling bug-fixing patches with the commit identifiers of the …

Self-Supervised Spatial-Temporal Normality Learning For Time Series Anomaly Detection, Yutong Chen, Hongzuo Xu, Guansong Pang, Hezhe Qiao, Yuan Zhou, Mingsheng Shang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Time Series Anomaly Detection (TSAD) finds widespread applications across various domains such as financial markets, industrial production, and healthcare. Its primary objective is to learn the normal patterns of time series data, thereby identifying deviations in test samples. Most existing TSAD methods focus on modeling data from the temporal dimension, while ignoring the semantic information in the spatial dimension. To address this issue, we introduce a novel approach, called Spatial-Temporal Normality learning (STEN). STEN is composed of a sequence Order prediction-based Temporal Normality learning (OTN) module that captures the temporal correlations within sequences, and a Distance prediction-based Spatial Normality learning …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
HD map reconstruction is crucial for autonomous driving. LiDAR-based methods are limited due to expensive sensors and time-consuming computation. Camera-based methods usually need to perform road segmentation and view transformation separately, which often causes distortion and missing content. To push the limits of the technology, we present a novel framework that reconstructs a local map formed by road layout and vehicle occupancy in the bird's-eye view given a front-view monocular image only. We propose a front-to-top view projection (FTVP) module, which takes the constraint of cycle consistency between views into account and makes full use of their correlation to strengthen …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This study enhances stance detection on social media by incorporating deeper psychological attributes, specifically individuals’ moral foundations. These theoretically-derived dimensions aim to provide an interpretable profile of an individual’s moral concerns which, in recent work, has been linked to behaviour in a range of domains including society, politics, health, and the environment. In this paper, we investigate how moral foundation dimensions can contribute to detecting an individual’s stance on a given target. Specifically, we incorporate moral foundation features extracted from text, along with semantic features, to classify stances at both message-and user-levels using traditional machine learning and Large Language Models …

Low/No-Code And Traditional Code Integration In Digital Banking, Kim Siang Yeo, Alan @ Ali Madjelisi Megargel
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper seeks to combine the merits of Low/No-Code Programming (LNCP) with Traditional Programming (TP) systems to achieve true “agility” when creating banking infrastructure. While it is easy to fall prey to Shiny Object Syndrome in today’s dynamic and fast-paced banking technology world, it is not easy to pick out the right technology for today and tomorrow’s financial industry. Instead, LNCPs allow us to hedge all bets by equally lowering the technical entry barriers for each technology. The added integration of TP, when needed, also rounds out the faults related to sole LNCP use and provides any bank with a …

There is growing concern about maintainers self-sabotaging their work in order to take political or economic stances, a practice referred to as “protestware”. Our objective is to understand the discourse around discussions on such an attack, how it is received by the community, and whether developers respond to the attack in a timely manner. We study two notable protestware cases i.e., colors.js and es5-ext. Results indicate that protestware discussions are spread more quickly on the GitHub platform, while security vulnerabilities are faster on social media. By establishing a taxonomy of protestware discussions, we identify posts that express stances and provide …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We propose the Burst-Induced Poisson Process (BPoP), a model designed to analyze time series data such as feeds or search queries. BPoP can distinguish between the slowly-varying regular activity of a stable audience and the bursty activity of a curious audience, often seen in viral threads. Our model consists of two hidden, interacting processes: a self-feeding process (SFP) that generates bursty behavior related to viral threads, and a non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP) with step function intensity that is influenced by the bursts from the SFP. The NHPP models the normal background behavior, driven solely by the overall popularity of the …

Probing Effects Of Contextual Bias On Number Magnitude Estimation, Xuehao Du, Ping Ji, Wei Qin, Lei Wang, Yunshi Lan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The semantic understanding of numbers requires association with context. However, powerful neural networks overfit spurious correlations between context and numbers in training corpus can lead to the occurrence of contextual bias, which may affect the network's accurate estimation of number magnitude when making inferences in real-world data. To investigate the resilience of current methodologies against contextual bias, we introduce a novel out-of- distribution (OOD) numerical question-answering (QA) dataset that features specific correlations between context and numbers in the training data, which are not present in the OOD test data. We evaluate the robustness of different numerical encoding and decoding methods …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The NP-hard precedence-constrained production scheduling problem (PCPSP) for mine planning chooses the ordered removal of materials from the mine pit and the next processing steps based on resource, geological, and geometrical constraints. Traditionally, it prioritizes the net present value (NPV) of profits across the lifespan of the mine. Yet, the growing shift in environmental concerns also requires shifts to more carbon-aware practices. In this paper, we use the enhanced multi-objective version of the generic PCPSP formulation by adding the NPV of carbon costs as another objective. We then compare how the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) and the Pareto …
