Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) provide the foundation of our critical infrastructures, which form the basis of emerging and future smart services and improve our quality of life in many areas. In such CPS, sensor data is transmitted over the network to the controller, which will make real-time control decisions according to the received sensor data. Due to the existence of spoofing attacks (more specifically to CPS, false data injection attacks), one has to protect the authenticity and integrity of the transmitted data. For example, a digital signature can be used to solve this issue. However, the resource-constrained field devices like sensors …

Iot-Enabled Community Care For Ageing-In-Place: The Singapore Experience, Hwee-Pink Tan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The paradigm of ageing-in-place – where the elderly live and age in their own homes, independently and safely, with care provided by the community – is compelling, especially in societies that face both shortages in institutionalized eldercare resources, and rapidly ageing populations. When the number of elderly who live alone rises rapidly, support and care from their communities become increasing crucial. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. They can become the fundamental enabler for smart community eldercare. In this presentation, I would like to share our experiences and learnings gathered from large-scale deployments of IoT systems in in-home and community spaces …

Revocable And Certificateless Public Auditing For Cloud Storage, Yinghui Zhang, Tiantian Zhang, Shengmin Xu, Guowen Xu, Dong Zheng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Plenty of computing and storage resources in the cloud are provided for users with restricted computing and storage resources, which has attracted the attention of many researchers. A generic blockchain-based cloud data auditing scheme is proposed, which is compatible with any blockchains including the bitcoin blockchain. In the data integrity checking scheme, certificateless signature (CLS) can be used to verify the identity of users. Besides, the key exchange is utilized in the key generation, which can eliminate the security channel to achieve system robustness. Considering the real situation, the users who join the cloud storage system may be revoked for …

Tpr: Text-Aware Preference Ranking For Recommender Systems, Yu-Neng Chuang, Chih-Ming Chen, Chuan-Ju Wang, Ming-Feng Tsai, Yuan Fang, Ee-Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Textual data is common and informative auxiliary information for recommender systems. Most prior art utilizes text for rating prediction, but rare work connects it to top-N recommendation. Moreover, although advanced recommendation models capable of incorporating auxiliary information have been developed, none of these are specifically designed to model textual information, yielding a limited usage scenario for typical user-to-item recommendation. In this work, we present a framework of text-aware preference ranking (TPR) for top-N recommendation, in which we comprehensively model the joint association of user-item interaction and relations between items and associated text. Using the TPR framework, we construct a joint …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Student performance prediction is critical to online education. It can benefit many downstream tasks on online learning platforms, such as estimating dropout rates, facilitating strategic intervention, and enabling adaptive online learning. Interactive online question pools provide students with interesting interactive questions to practice their knowledge in online education. However, little research has been done on student performance prediction in interactive online question pools. Existing work on student performance prediction targets at online learning platforms with predefined course curriculum and accurate knowledge labels like MOOC platforms, but they are not able to fully model knowledge evolution of students in interactive online …

We Mind Your Well-Being: Preventing Depression In Uncertain Social Networks By Sequential Interventions, Aye Phye Phye Aung, Xinrun Wang, Bo An, Xiaoli Li
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Mental health has become a major concern according to WHO who estimates that more than 350 million people worldwide are affected by depression. Studies have shown that interventions and social support can reduce stress and depression. However, counselling centers do not have enough resources to provide counselling and social support to all the participants in their interest. This paper helps social support organizations (e.g., university counselling centers) sequentially select the participants for interventions. Unfortunately, previous works do not consider emotion propagation from other neighbours of the influencees and initial uncertainties of mental states and influence. Moreover, they fail to scale …

Extracting Deep Features From Short Ecg Signals For Early Atrial Fibrillation Detection, Xiaodan Wu, Yumeng Zheng, Chao-Hsien Chu, Zhen He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) at an early stage has a short duration and is sometimes asymptomatic, making it difficult to detect. Although the use of mobile sensing devices has provided the possibility of real-time cardiac detection, it is highly susceptible to the noise signals generated by body movement. Therefore, it is of great importance to study early AF detection for mobile terminals with noise immunity. Extracting effective features is critical to AF detection, but most existing studies used shallow time, frequency or time-frequency energy (TFE) features with weak representation that need to rely on long ECG signals to capture the variation …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Moving objects equipped with location-positioning devices continuously generate a large amount of spatio-temporal trajectory data. An interesting finding over a trajectory stream is a group of objects that are travelling together for a certain period of time. Existing studies on mining co-moving objects do not consider an important correlation between co-moving objects, which is the reoccurrence of the movement pattern. In this study, we define a problem of finding recurrent pattern of co-moving objects from streaming trajectories and propose an efficient solution that enables us to discover recent co-moving object patterns repeated within a given time period. Experimental results on …

Privacy-Preserving Outsourced Calculation Toolkit In The Cloud, Ximeng Liu, Robert H. Deng, Kim-Kwang Raymond Choo, Yang Yang, Hwee Hwa Pang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving outsourced calculation toolkit, Pockit, designed to allow data owners to securely outsource their data to the cloud for storage. The outsourced encrypted data can be processed by the cloud server to achieve commonly-used plaintext arithmetic operations without involving additional servers. Specifically, we design both signed and unsigned integer circuits using a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) scheme, construct a new packing technique (hereafter referred to as integer packing), and extend the secure circuits to its packed version. This achieves significant improvements in performance compared with the original secure signed/unsigned integer circuit. The secure integer …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Although used in many domains, the evaluation of personas is difficult due to the lack of validated measurement instruments. To tackle this challenge, we propose the Persona Perception Scale (PPS), a survey instrument for evaluating how individuals perceive personas. We develop the scale by reviewing relevant literature from social psychology, persona studies, and Human-Computer Interaction to find relevant constructs and items for measuring persona perceptions. Following initial pilot testing, we conduct an exploratory validation of the scale with 412 respondents and find that the constructs and items of the scale perform satisfactorily for deployment. The research has implications for both …

On Modeling Labor Markets For Fine-Grained Insights, Hendrik Santoso Sugiarto, Ee-Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The labor market consists of job seekers looking for jobs, and job openings waiting for applications. Classical labor market models assume that salary is the primary factor explaining why job-seekers select certain jobs. In practice, job seeker behavior is much more complex and there are other factors that should be considered. In this paper, we therefore propose the Probabilistic Labor Model (PLM) which considers salary satisfaction, topic preference matching, and accessibility as important criteria for job seekers to decide when they apply for jobs. We also determine the user and job latent variables for each criterion and define a graphical …

Urban Scale Trade Area Characterization For Commercial Districts With Cellular Footprints, Yi Zhao, Zimu Zhou, Xu Wang, Tongtong Liu, Zheng Yang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Understanding customer mobility patterns to commercial districts is crucial for urban planning, facility management, and business strategies. Trade areas are a widely applied measure to quantify where the visitors are from. Traditional trade area analysis is limited to small-scale or store-level studies, because information such as visits to competitor commercial entities and place of residence is collected by labour-intensive questionnaires or heavily biased location-based social media data. In this article, we propose CellTradeMap, a novel district-level trade area analysis framework using mobile flow records (MFRs), a type of fine-grained cellular network data. We show that compared to traditional cellular data …

Attribute-based encryption (ABE) for cloud computing access control is reviewed in this article. A taxonomy and comprehensive assessment criteria of ABE are first proposed. In the taxonomy, ABE schemes are assorted into key-policy ABE (KP-ABE) schemes, ciphertext-policy ABE (CP-ABE) schemes, anti-quantum ABE schemes, and generic constructions. In accordance with cryptographically functional features, CP-ABE is further divided into nine subcategories with regard to basic functionality, revocation, accountability, policy hiding, policy updating, multi-authority, hierarchy, offline computation, and outsourced computation. In addition, a systematical methodology for discussing and comparing existing ABE schemes is proposed. For KP-ABE and each type of CP-ABE, the corresponding …

Electric Vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure are starting to become commonplace in major cities around the world. For logistics providers to adopt an EV fleet, there are many factors up for consideration, such as route planning for EVs with limited travel range as well as long-term planning of fleet size. In this paper, we present a genetic algorithm to perform route planning that minimises the number of vehicles required. Specifically, we discuss the challenges on the violations of constraints in the EV routing problem (EVRP) arising from applying genetic algorithm operators. To overcome the challenges, techniques specific to addressing the …

Transport Layer Security Inspection (TLSI) enables enterprises to decrypt, inspect and then re-encrypt users’ traffic before it is routed to the destination. This breaks the end-to-end security guarantee of the TLS specification and implementation. It also raises privacy concerns since users’ traffic is now known by the enterprises, and third-party middlebox providers providing the inspection services may additionally learn the inspection or attack rules, policies of the enterprises. Two recent works, BlindBox (SIGCOMM 2015) and PrivDPI (CCS 2019) propose privacy-preserving approaches that inspect encrypted traffic directly to address the privacy concern of users’ traffic. However, BlindBox incurs high preprocessing overhead …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we propose a hybrid framework to solve large-scale permutation-based combinatorial problems effectively using a high-performance quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) solver. To do so, transformations are required to change a constrained optimization model to an unconstrained model that involves parameter tuning. We propose techniques to overcome the challenges in using a QUBO solver that typically comes with limited numbers of bits. First, to smooth the energy landscape, we reduce the magnitudes of the input without compromising optimality. We propose a machine learning approach to tune the parameters for good performance effectively. To handle possible infeasibility, we introduce …

As a widely used privacy-preserving technique for cryptocurrencies, Stealth Address constitutes a key component of Ring Confidential Transaction (RingCT) protocol and it was adopted by Monero, one of the most popular privacy-centric cryptocurrencies. Recently, Liu et al. [EuroS&P 2019] pointed out a flaw in the current widely used stealth address algorithm that once a derived secret key is compromised, the damage will spread to the corresponding master secret key, and all the derived secret keys thereof. To address this issue, Liu et al. introduced Key-Insulated and Privacy-Preserving Signature Scheme with Publicly Derived Public Key (PDPKS scheme), which captures the functionality, …

Group Instance: Flexible Co-Location Resistant Virtual Machine Placement In Iaas Clouds, Vu Duc Long, Nguyen Binh Duong Ta
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper proposes and analyzes a new virtual machine (VM) placement technique called Group Instance to deal with co-location attacks in public Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds. Specifically, Group Instance organizes cloud users into groups with pre-determined sizes set by the cloud provider. Our empirical results obtained via experiments with real-world data sets containing million of VM requests have demonstrated the effectiveness of the new technique. In particular, the advantages of Group Instance are three-fold: 1) it is simple and highly configurable to suit the financial and security needs of cloud providers, 2) it produces better or at least similar performance compared …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper tackles the problem of detecting a comprehensive set of sensor faults that can occur in IoT-instrumented smart homes customized to infer Activities of Daily Living (ADL) from the activation of sensor sets. Specifically, sensors can suffer faults that (a) span durations that vary between several seconds to hours, (b) can result in both missing or false-alarm sensor-events. Previous fault detection approaches are geared primarily to identify missing faults (absence of sensor readings) of a permanent (very long-lived) nature, or sporadic false-alarm events. We propose DetectIF, a fault-detection framework that detects faults of varying time duration, and identifies both …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Authorship attribution (AA), which is the task of finding the owner of a given text, is an important and widely studied research topic with many applications. Recent works have shown that deep learning methods could achieve significant accuracy improvement for the AA task. Nevertheless, most of these proposed methods represent user posts using a single type of features (e.g., word bi-grams) and adopt a text classification approach to address the task. Furthermore, these methods offer very limited explainability of the AA results. In this paper, we address these limitations by proposing DeepStyle, a novel embedding-based framework that learns the representations …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Cross-docking is a logistics strategy that aims at less transportation costs and fast customer deliveries. Incorporating an efficient vehicle routing could increase the benefits of the cross-docking. In this paper, the vehicle routing problem with reverse cross-docking (VRP-RCD) is studied. Reverse logistics has attracted more attention due to its ability to gain more profit and maintain the competitiveness of a company. VRP-RCD includes a four-level supply chain network: suppliers, cross-dock, customers, and outlets, with the objective of minimizing vehicle operational and transportation costs. A two-phase heuristic that employs an adaptive large neighborhood search (ALNS) with various destroy and repair operators …

Social Influence Attentive Neural Network For Friend-Enhanced Recommendation, Yuanfu Lu, Ruobing Xie, Chuan Shi, Yuan Fang, Wei Wang, Xu Zhang, Leyu Lin
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
With the thriving of online social networks, there emerges a new recommendation scenario in many social apps, called FriendEnhanced Recommendation (FER) in this paper. In FER, a user is recommended with items liked/shared by his/her friends (called a friend referral circle). These friend referrals are explicitly shown to users. Different from conventional social recommendation, the unique friend referral circle in FER may significantly change the recommendation paradigm, making users to pay more attention to enhanced social factors. In this paper, we first formulate the FER problem, and propose a novel Social Influence Attentive Neural network (SIAN) solution. In order to …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In the scenario of next-item recommendation, previous methods attempt to model user preferences by capturing the evolution of sequential interactions. However, their sequential expression is often limited, without modeling complex dynamics that short-term demands can often be influenced by long-term habits. Moreover, few of them take into account the heterogeneous types of interaction between users and items. In this paper, we model such complex data as a Temporal Heterogeneous Interaction Graph (THIG) and learn both user and item embeddings on THIGs to address next-item recommendation. The main challenges involve two aspects: the complex dynamics and rich heterogeneity of interactions. We …

This work is extended from our participation in the Dialogue System Technology Challenge (DSTC7), where we participated in the Audio Visual Scene-aware Dialogue System (AVSD) track. The AVSD track evaluates how dialogue systems understand video scenes and responds to users about the video visual and audio content. We propose a hierarchical attention approach on user queries, video caption, audio and visual features that contribute to improved evaluation results. We also apply a nonlinear feature fusion approach to combine the visual and audio features for better knowledge representation. Our proposed model shows superior performance in terms of both objective evaluation and …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we demonstrate a satisfaction-boosting bus scheduling assistant called FASTS, which assists users to find an optimal bus schedule. FASTS performs bus scheduling based on the constraints specified by the user in either a coarse-grained or a fine-grained manner, supports different explorations with a varying number of constraints, and provides analysis to quantify the performance of bus schedules and presents the results in a visually pleasing way. We demonstrate FASTS using real-world bus routes (396 routes) and one-week bus touch-on/touch-off records (28 million trip records) in Singapore.

Real-time ridesharing systems such as UberPool, Lyft Line, GrabShare have become hugely popular as they reduce the costs for customers, improve per trip revenue for drivers and reduce traffic on the roads by grouping customers with similar itineraries. The key challenge in these systems is to group the "right" requests to travel together in the "right" available vehicles in real-time, so that the objective (e.g., requests served, revenue or delay) is optimized. This challenge has been addressed in existing work by: (i) generating as many relevant feasible (with respect to the available delay for customers) combinations of requests as possible …
