Key Cooperative Attribute-Based Encryption, Luqi Huang, Willy Susilo, Guomin Yang, Fuchun Guo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Attribute-based encryption (ABE) is an important technology in building access control systems with precise control and scalability. In an ABE system, there exists a private key generator (PKG) that issues all private keys. The PKG has a significant drawback referred to as the huge key management burden in large-scale user systems. To overcome this limitation, we propose a more flexible system that offers users the choice to utilize decryption keys either from the PKG or from trusted users to decrypt the ciphertext, reducing the workload of the PKG. Unfortunately, users are restricted to only receiving private keys from the PKG …
Generalization Analysis Of Deep Nonlinear Matrix Completion, Antoine Ledent, Rodrigo Alves
Generalization Analysis Of Deep Nonlinear Matrix Completion, Antoine Ledent, Rodrigo Alves
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We provide generalization bounds for matrix completion with Schatten $p$ quasi-norm constraints, which is equivalent to deep matrix factorization with Frobenius constraints. In the uniform sampling regime, the sample complexity scales like $\widetilde{O}\left( rn\right)$ where $n$ is the size of the matrix and $r$ is a constraint of the same order as the ground truth rank in the isotropic case. In the distribution-free setting, the bounds scale as $\widetilde{O}\left(r^{1-\frac{p}{2}}n^{1+\frac{p}{2}}\right)$, which reduces to the familiar $\sqrt{r}n^{\frac{3}{2}}$ for $p=1$. Furthermore, we provide an analogue of the weighted trace norm for this setting which brings the sample complexity down to $\widetilde{O}(nr)$ in all …

Learning Topological Representations With Bidirectional Graph Attention Network For Solving Job Shop Scheduling Problem, Cong Zhang, Zhiguang Cao, Yaoxin Wu, Wen Song, Jing Sun
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Existing learning-based methods for solving job shop scheduling problems (JSSP) usually use off-the-shelf GNN models tailored to undirected graphs and neglect the rich and meaningful topological structures of disjunctive graphs (DGs). This paper proposes the topology-aware bidirectional graph attention network (TBGAT), a novel GNN architecture based on the attention mechanism, to embed the DG for solving JSSP in a local search framework. Specifically, TBGAT embeds the DG from a forward and a backward view, respectively, where the messages are propagated by following the different topologies of the views and aggregated via graph attention. Then, we propose a novel operator based …
Topic Modeling On Document Networks With Dirichlet Optimal Transport Barycenter (Extended Abstract), Ce Zhang, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Topic Modeling On Document Networks With Dirichlet Optimal Transport Barycenter (Extended Abstract), Ce Zhang, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Texts are often interconnected in a network structure, e.g., academic papers via citations. On the one hand, though Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have shown promising ability to derive effective embeddings for networked documents, they do not assume latent topics, resulting in uninterpretahle embeddings. On the other hand, topic models can infer interpretable document representations. However, most topic models focus on plain text and fail to leverage network structure across documents. In this paper, we propose a GNN-based topic model that both captures network connection and derives semantically interpretable text representations. For network modeling, we build our model with Optimal Transport …

Augmenting Decision With Hypothesis In Reinforcement Learning, Minh Quang Nguyen, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Value-based reinforcement learning is the current State-Of-The-Art due to high sampling efficiency. However, our study shows it suffers from low exploitation in early training period and bias sensitiveness. To address these issues, we propose to augment the decision-making process with hypothesis, a weak form of environment description. Our approach relies on prompting the learning agent with accurate hypotheses, and designing a ready-to-adapt policy through incremental learning. We propose the ALH algorithm, showing detailed analyses on a typical learning scheme and a diverse set of Mujoco benchmarks. Our algorithm produces a significant improvement over value-based learning algorithms and other strong baselines. …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Computational video aesthetic prediction refers to using models that automatically evaluate the features of videos to produce their aesthetic scores. Current video aesthetic prediction models are designed based on bimodal frameworks. To address their limitations, we developed the Triple-Dimensional Multimodal Temporal Video Aesthetic neural network (TMTVA-net) model. The Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) forms the conceptual foundation for the design framework. In the multimodal transformer layer, we employed two distinct transformers: the multimodal transformer and the feature transformer, enabling the acquisition of modality-specific patterns and representational features uniquely adapted to each modality. The fusion layer has also been redesigned to compute …

Transformer Models With Explainability For It Telemetry And Business Events, Shiau Hong Lim, Laura Wynter
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Temporal event data are commonly encountered in software applications across a wide range of domains, from IT telemetry and system logs to business process automation. Temporal event data in software applications carry information in various forms: both structured and unstructured, and with both regular and irregular occurrence frequency, making the representation of temporal event data challenging. Further chal-lenges come from the diversity in terms of the scale and volume of events that need to be summarized by the representation. We propose a general and unified approach to handle temporal event data for the purpose of learning a predictive transformer model. …

Adaptive Stabilization Based On Machine Learning For Column Generation, Yunzhuang Shen, Yuan Sun, Xiaodong Li, Zhiguang Cao, Eberhard Andrew, Guangquan Zhang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Column generation (CG) is a well-established method for solving large-scale linear programs. It involves iteratively optimizing a subproblem containing a subset of columns and using its dual solution to generate new columns with negative reduced costs. This process continues until the dual values converge to the optimal dual solution to the original problem. A natural phenomenon in CG is the heavy oscillation of the dual values during iterations, which can lead to a substantial slowdown in the convergence rate. Stabilization techniques are devised to accelerate the convergence of dual values by using information beyond the state of the current subproblem. …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Learning to solve vehicle routing problems (VRPs) has garnered much attention. However, most neural solvers are only structured and trained independently on a specific problem, making them less generic and practical. In this paper, we aim to develop a unified neural solver that can cope with a range of VRP variants simultaneously. Specifically, we propose a multi-task vehicle routing solver with mixture-of-experts (MVMoE), which greatly enhances the model capacity without a proportional increase in computation. We further develop a hierarchical gating mechanism for the MVMoE, delivering a good trade-off between empirical performance and computational complexity. Experimentally, our method significantly promotes …

Modern Android apps consist of both host app code and third-party libraries. Traditional static analysis tools conduct taint analysis for API misuses on the entire app code, while third-party library (TPL) detection tools focus solely on library code. Both approaches, however, are prone to some inherent false negatives: taint analysis tools may neglect third-party libraries or face timeouts/errors in whole app-based analysis, and TPL detection tools are not designed for pinpointing specific vulnerable methods. These challenges underscore the need for enhanced identification of insecure methods in Android apps, particularly for app markets addressing open-source security incidents. In this paper, we …

Conversational Recommender Systems (CRSs) leverage natural language dialogues to provide tailored recommendations. Traditional methods in this field primarily focus on extracting user preferences from isolated dialogues. It often yields responses with a limited perspective, confined to the scope of individual conversations. Recognizing the potential in collective dialogue examples, our research proposes an expanded approach for CRS models, utilizing selective analogues from dialogue histories and responses to enrich both generation and recommendation processes. This introduces significant research challenges, including: (1) How to secure high-quality collections of recommendation dialogue exemplars? (2) How to effectively leverage these exemplars to enhance CRS models?To tackle …

Learning of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) provides insights into an individual’s habits, lifestyle, and well-being. However, it is crucial to address data privacy concerns in practical situations when learning the ADL routines of individuals. In this paper, we introduce FedSTEM-ADL, a federated spatial-temporal episodic memory model to address this privacy issue. FedSTEM-ADL utilizes a federation of Spatial-Temporal Episodic Memory for ADLs (STEM-ADL) for federated learning, wherein multiple local STEM-ADL models from individual users are combined into a global model while preserving the privacy of the original data. Specifically, each local model is designed to learn the spatio-temporal ADL routines …

Configurable Mirror Descent : Towards A Unification Of Decision Making, Pengdeng Li, Shuxin Li, Chang Yang, Xinrun Wang, Hau Chan, Bo An
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Decision-making problems, categorized as single-agent, e.g., Atari, cooperative multi-agent, e.g., Hanabi, competitive multi-agent, e.g., Hold’em poker, and mixed cooperative and competitive, e.g., football, are ubiquitous in the real world. Although various methods have been proposed to address the specific decision-making categories, these methods typically evolve independently and cannot generalize to other categories. Therefore, a fundamental question for decision-making is: Can we develop a single algorithm to tackle ALL categories of decision-making problems? There are several main challenges to address this question: i) different decision-making categories involve different numbers of agents and different relationships between agents, ii) different categories have different …

The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is an NP-optimization problem (NPO) that arises in various fields including transportation and logistics. The CVRP extends from the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP), aiming to determine the most efficient plan for a fleet of vehicles to deliver goods to a set of customers, subject to the limited carrying capacity of each vehicle. As the number of possible solutions increases exponentially with the number of customers, finding high-quality solutions remains a significant challenge. Recently, the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), a quantum–classical hybrid algorithm, has exhibited enhanced performance in certain combinatorial optimization problems, such as …

Secure And Flexible Wildcard Queries, Qing Wang, Donghui Hu, Meng Li, Guomin Yang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Wildcard Keyword Searchable Encryption (WKSE) enables users to search desired encrypted files with wildcard queries. Previous schemes only enabled single-character wildcard queries or restricted multi-character wildcard queries. Even if the two types of queries are supported by several schemes, they are vulnerable to correlation attacks and composition attacks. In this paper, we propose a WKSE scheme Secure Flexible Wildcard Queries (SFWQ) that supports highly flexible wildcard queries and resists correlation and composition attacks. Specifically, we adopt the interval matching method instead of traditional position matching, so that SFWQ supports a variety of queries, including single-character wildcard queries, multi-character wildcard queries, …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Attribute-based anonymous credentials offer users fine-grained access control in a privacy-preserving manner. However, in such schemes obtaining a user's credentials requires knowledge of the issuer's public key, which obviously reveals the issuer's identity that must be hidden from users in certain scenarios. Moreover, verifying a user's credentials also requires the knowledge of issuer's public key, which may infer the user's private information from their choice of issuer. In this article, we introduce the notion of double issuer-hiding attribute-based credentials ( DIHAC ) to tackle these two problems. In our model, a central authority can issue public-key credentials for a group …

Modern smart TVs often communicate with their remote controls (including the smartphone simulated ones) using multiple wireless channels (e.g., Infrared, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi). However, this multi-channel remote control communication introduces a new attack surface. An inherent security flaw is that remote controls of most smart TVs are designed to work in a benign environment rather than an adversarial one, and thus wireless communications between a smart TV and its remote controls are not strongly protected. Attackers can leverage such a flaw to abuse the remote control communication and compromise smart TV systems. In this paper, we propose EvilScreen, a novel …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Communities on GitHub often use issue labels as a way of triaging issues by assigning them priority ratings based on how urgently they should be addressed. The labels used are determined by the repository contributors and notstandardisedbyGitHub.Thismakes it difficult for priority-related reasoning across repositories for both researchers and contributors. Previous work shows interest in how issues are labelled and what the consequences for those labels are. For instance, some previous work has used clustering models and natural language processing to categorise labels without a particular emphasis on priority. With this publication, we introduce a unique data set of 812 manually …

Restoring old photographs can preserve cherished memories. Previous methods handled diverse damages within the same network structure, which proved impractical. In addition, these methods cannot exploit correlations among artifacts, especially in scratches versus patch-misses issues. Hence, a tailored network is particularly crucial. In light of this, we propose a unified framework consisting of two key components: ScratchNet and PatchNet. In detail, ScratchNet employs the parallel Multi-scale Partial Convolution Module to effectively repair scratches, learning from multi-scale local receptive fields. In contrast, the patch-misses necessitate the network to emphasize global information. To this end, we incorporate a transformer-based encoder and decoder …

Identifying security issues early is encouraged to reduce the latent negative impacts on software systems. Code review is a widely-used method that allows developers to manually inspect modified code, catching security issues during a software development cycle. However, existing code review studies often focus on known vulnerabilities, neglecting coding weaknesses, which can introduce real-world security issues that are more visible through code review. The practices of code reviews in identifying such coding weaknesses are not yet fully investigated. To better understand this, we conducted an empirical case study in two large open-source projects, OpenSSL and PHP. Based on 135,560 code …

Digital identities are paramount in today’s digital landscape. However, in the Web3 ecosystem, the absence of a central governing body leaves digital identities, such as domain names, vulnerable to cybersquatting and identity imitation. This study examines the market impact of identity imitation in the Web3 ecosystem. By scrutinizing trading activities within Web3 domain names from Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and its imitator, "Ether Name Service," we found that the presence of a newly imitating domain name increases the subsequent resale value of the authentic domain name. Additionally, we find a positive correlation between the resale value of the imitating domain …

Due to the NP-hard nature, the strategic airport slot scheduling problem is calling for exploring sub-optimal approaches, such as heuristics and learning-based approaches. Moreover, the continuous increase in air traffic demand requires approaches that can work well in new scenarios. While heuristics rely on a fixed set of rules, which limits the ability to explore new solutions, Reinforcement Learning offers a versatile framework to automate the search and generalize to unseen scenarios. Finding a suitable state observation and reward structure design is essential in using Reinforcement Learning. In this paper, we investigate the impact of providing the Reinforcement Learning agent …
