Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Threshold attribute-based credentials are suitable for decentralized systems such as blockchains as such systems generally assume that authenticity, confidentiality, and availability can still be guaranteed in the presence of a threshold number of dishonest or faulty nodes. Coconut (NDSS'19) was the first selective disclosure attribute-based credentials scheme supporting threshold issuance. However, it does not support threshold tracing of user identities and threshold revocation of user credentials, which is desired for internal governance such as identity management, data auditing, and accountability. The communication and computation complexities of Coconut for verifying credentials are linear in the number of each user's attributes and …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are responsible for automating process control in many industrial systems (e.g. in manufacturing and public infrastructure), and thus it is critical to ensure that they operate correctly and safely. The majority of PLCs are programmed in languages such as Structured Text (ST). However, a lack of formal semantics makes it difficult to ascertain the correctness of their translators and compilers, which vary from vendor-to-vendor. In this work, we develop K-ST, a formal executable semantics for ST in the K framework. Defined with respect to the IEC 61131-3 standard and PLC vendor manuals, K-ST is a high-level …

Android malware detection has been an active area of research. In the past decade, several machine learning-based approaches based on different types of features that may characterize Android malware behaviors have been proposed. The usually-analyzed features include API usages and sequences at various abstraction levels (e.g., class and package), extracted using static or dynamic analysis. Additionally, features that characterize permission uses, native API calls and reflection have also been analyzed. Initial works used conventional classifiers such as Random Forest to learn on those features. In recent years, deep learning-based classifiers such as Recurrent Neural Network have been explored. Considering various …

Uncertainty-Adjusted Inductive Matrix Completion With Graph Neural Networks, Petr Kasalicky, Antoine Ledent, Rodrigo Alves
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We propose a robust recommender systems model which performs matrix completion and a ratings-wise uncertainty estimation jointly. Whilst the prediction module is purely based on an implicit low-rank assumption imposed via nuclear norm regularization, our loss function is augmented by an uncertainty estimation module which learns an anomaly score for each individual rating via a Graph Neural Network: data points deemed more anomalous by the GNN are downregulated in the loss function used to train the low-rank module. The whole model is trained in an end-to-end fashion, allowing the anomaly detection module to tap on the supervised information available in …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The reliability of decision-making policies is urgently important today as they have established the fundamentals of many critical applications, such as autonomous driving and robotics. To ensure reliability, there have been a number of research efforts on testing decision-making policies that solve Markov decision processes (MDPs). However, due to the deep neural network (DNN)-based inherit and infinite state space, developing scalable and effective testing frameworks for decision-making policies still remains open and challenging.In this paper, we present an effective testing framework for decision-making policies. The framework adopts a generative diffusion model-based test case generator that can easily adapt to different …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Integrating low-level edge features has been proven to be effective in preserving clear boundaries of salient objects. However, the locality of edge features makes it difficult to capture globally salient edges, leading to distraction in the final predictions. To address this problem, we propose to produce distraction-free edge features by incorporating cross-scale holistic interdependencies between high-level features. In particular, we first formulate our edge features extraction process as a boundary-filling problem. In this way, we enforce edge features to focus on closed boundaries instead of those disconnected background edges. Second, we propose to explore cross-scale holistic contextual connections between every …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The digital economy has brought significant advancements in electronic devices, increasing convenience and comfort in people’s lives. However, this progress has also led to a shorter life cycle for these devices due to rapid advancements in hardware and software technology. As a result, e-waste collection and recycling have become vital for protecting the environment and people’s health. From the operations research perspective, the e-waste collection problem can be modeled as the Heterogeneous Vehicle Routing Problem with Multiple Time Windows (HVRP-MTW). This study proposes a metaheuristic based on the Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure complemented by Path Relinking (GRASP-PR) to solve …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we address the problem of privacy-preserving federated neural network training with N users. We present Hercules, an efficient and high-precision training framework that can tolerate collusion of up to N−1 users. Hercules follows the POSEIDON framework proposed by Sav et al. (NDSS’21), but makes a qualitative leap in performance with the following contributions: (i) we design a novel parallel homomorphic computation method for matrix operations, which enables fast Single Instruction and Multiple Data (SIMD) operations over ciphertexts. For the multiplication of two h×h dimensional matrices, our method reduces the computation complexity from O(h3) to O(h) . This …

Freelance drivers in the shared mobility market frequently switch or work for multiple platforms, affecting driver labor supply. Due to the importance of driver labor supply for the shared mobility market, understanding drivers’ switching and multi-homing behavior is vital to managing service quality on – and effective regulation of – mobility platforms. However, a lack of individual-level data on driver behavior has thus far impeded a deeper understanding. This paper taxonomizes and estimates perceived switching and multi-homing frictions on mobility platforms. Based on a structural model of driver labor supply, we estimate switching and multi-homing costs in a platform duopoly …

With their flexibility and convenience, taxis play a vital role in urban transportation systems. Understanding how human drivers make decisions in a context of uncertainty and competition is crucial for taxi fleets that depend on drivers to provide their services. As part of this paper, we propose modeling taxi drivers’ behaviors based on behavioral game theory. Based on real-world data, we demonstrate that the behavioral game theory model we select is superior to state-of-the-art baselines. These results provide a solid foundation for improving taxi fleet efficiency in the future.

The Power Of Identity Cues In Text-Based Customer Service: Evidence From Twitter, Yang Gao, Huaxia Rui, Shujing Sun
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Text-based customer service is emerging as an important channel through which companies can assist customers. However, the use of few identity cues may cause customers to feel limited social presence and even suspect the human identity of agents, especially in the current age of advanced algorithms. Does such a lack of social presence affect service interactions? We studied this timely question by evaluating the impact of customers’ perceived social presence on service outcomes and customers’ attitudes toward agents. Our identification strategy hinged on Southwest Airlines’ sudden requirement to include a first name in response to service requests on Twitter, which …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Many robots utilize commercial force/torque sensors to identify inertial properties of unknown objects. However, such sensors can be difficult to apply to small-sized robots due to their weight, size, and cost. In this letter, we propose a learning-based approach for estimating the mass and center of mass (COM) of unknown objects without using force/torque sensors at the end effector or on the joints. In our method, a robot arm carries an unknown object as it moves through multiple discrete configurations. Measurements are collected when the robot reaches each discrete configuration and stops. A neural network then estimates joint torques from …

Personalized Fashion Outfit Generation With User Coordination Preference Learning, Yujuan Ding, P.Y. Mok, Yunshan Ma, Yi Bin
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper focuses on personalized outfit generation, aiming to generate compatible fashion outfits catering to given users. Personalized recommendation by generating outfits of compatible items is an emerging task in the recommendation community with great commercial value but less explored. The task requires to explore both user-outfit personalization and outfit compatibility, any of which is challenging due to the huge learning space resulted from large number of items, users, and possible outfit options. To specify the user preference on outfits and regulate the outfit compatibility modeling, we propose to incorporate coordination knowledge in fashion. Inspired by the fact that users …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
As an emerging sensing data collection paradigm, mobile crowdsensing (MCS) enjoys good scalability and low deployment cost but raises privacy concerns. In this paper, we propose a privacy-preserving MCS system called CROWDFL by seamlessly integrating federated learning (FL) into MCS. At a high level, in order to protect participants' privacy and fully explore participants' computing power, participants in CROWDFL locally process sensing data via FL paradigm and only upload encrypted training models to the server. To this end, we design a secure aggregation algorithm (SecAgg) through the threshold Paillier cryptosystem to aggregate training models in an encrypted form. Also, to …

Cryptocurrencies have been all the rage in recent years, with many being drawn to their appeal as speculative investment assets. Its proponents also champion the secure and decentralised nature of the technology it is based on, called the blockchain. Given the secure nature of blockchain technology, the idea of adopting cryptocurrencies as legal tender currency has also been mooted and experimented with – with the most famous example being the Central American nation of El Salvador’s bold move to adopting the cryptocurrency Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021. In theory, this would provide a solution to the high transaction …

Event forecasting has been a demanding and challenging task throughout the entire human history. It plays a pivotal role in crisis alarming and disaster prevention in various aspects of the whole society. The task of event forecasting aims to model the relational and temporal patterns based on historical events and makes forecasting to what will happen in the future. Most existing studies on event forecasting formulate it as a problem of link prediction on temporal event graphs. However, such pure structured formulation suffers from two main limitations: 1) most events fall into general and high-level types in the event ontology, …

Decoding The Underlying Meaning Of Multimodal Hateful Memes, Ming Shan Hee, Wen Haw Chong, Roy Ka-Wei Lee
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recent studies have proposed models that yielded promising performance for the hateful meme classification task. Nevertheless, these proposed models do not generate interpretable explanations that uncover the underlying meaning and support the classification output. A major reason for the lack of explainable hateful meme methods is the absence of a hateful meme dataset that contains ground truth explanations for benchmarking or training. Intuitively, having such explanations can educate and assist content moderators in interpreting and removing flagged hateful memes. This paper address this research gap by introducing Hateful meme with Reasons Dataset (HatReD), which is a new multimodal hateful meme …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Advancements in reinforcement learning (RL) have demonstrated superhuman performance in complex tasks such as Starcraft, Go, Chess etc. However, knowledge transfer from Artificial "Experts" to humans remain a significant challenge. A promising avenue for such transfer would be the use of curricula. Recent methods in curricula generation focuses on training RL agents efficiently, yet such methods rely on surrogate measures to track student progress, and are not suited for training robots in the real world (or more ambitiously humans). In this paper, we introduce a method named Parameterized Environment Response Model (PERM) that shows promising results in training RL agents …

Learning To Send Reinforcements: Coordinating Multi-Agent Dynamic Police Patrol Dispatching And Rescheduling Via Reinforcement Learning, Waldy Joe, Hoong Chuin Lau
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We address the problem of coordinating multiple agents in a dynamic police patrol scheduling via a Reinforcement Learning (RL) approach. Our approach utilizes Multi-Agent Value Function Approximation (MAVFA) with a rescheduling heuristic to learn dispatching and rescheduling policies jointly. Often, police operations are divided into multiple sectors for more effective and efficient operations. In a dynamic setting, incidents occur throughout the day across different sectors, disrupting initially-planned patrol schedules. To maximize policing effectiveness, police agents from different sectors cooperate by sending reinforcements to support one another in their incident response and even routine patrol. This poses an interesting research challenge …
Multi-View Graph Contrastive Learning For Solving Vehicle Routing Problems, Yuan Jiang, Zhiguang Cao, Yaoxin Wu, Jie Zhang
Multi-View Graph Contrastive Learning For Solving Vehicle Routing Problems, Yuan Jiang, Zhiguang Cao, Yaoxin Wu, Jie Zhang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recently, neural heuristics based on deep learning have reported encouraging results for solving vehicle routing problems (VRPs), especially on independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) instances, e.g. uniform. However, in the presence of a distribution shift for the testing instances, their performance becomes considerably inferior. In this paper, we propose a multi-view graph contrastive learning (MVGCL) approach to enhance the generalization across different distributions, which exploits a graph pattern learner in a self-supervised fashion to facilitate a neural heuristic equipped with an active search scheme. Specifically, our MVGCL first leverages graph contrastive learning to extract transferable patterns from VRP graphs to …

Document-Level Relation Extraction Via Separate Relation Representation And Logical Reasoning, Heyan Huang, Changsen Yuan, Qian Liu, Yixin Cao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Document-level relation extraction (RE) extends the identification of entity/mentions’ relation from the single sentence to the long document. It is more realistic and poses new challenges to relation representation and reasoning skills. In this article, we propose a novel model, SRLR, using Separate Relation Representation and Logical Reasoning considering the indirect relation representation and complex reasoning of evidence sentence problems. Specifically, we first expand the judgment of relational facts from the entity-level to the mention-level, highlighting fine-grained information to capture the relation representation for the entity pair. Second, we propose a logical reasoning module to identify evidence sentences and conduct …
Hyperbolic Graph Topic Modeling Network With Continuously Updated Topic Tree, Ce Zhang, Rex Ying, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Hyperbolic Graph Topic Modeling Network With Continuously Updated Topic Tree, Ce Zhang, Rex Ying, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Connectivity across documents often exhibits a hierarchical network structure. Hyperbolic Graph Neural Networks (HGNNs) have shown promise in preserving network hierarchy. However, they do not model the notion of topics, thus document representations lack semantic interpretability. On the other hand, a corpus of documents usually has high variability in degrees of topic specificity. For example, some documents contain general content (e.g., sports), while others focus on specific themes (e.g., basketball and swimming). Topic models indeed model latent topics for semantic interpretability, but most assume a flat topic structure and ignore such semantic hierarchy. Given these two challenges, we propose a …

Semantically Constitutive Entities In Knowledge Graphs, Chong Cher Chia, Maksim Tkachenko, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Knowledge graphs are repositories of facts about a world. In this work, we seek to distill the set of entities or nodes in a knowledge graph into a specified number of constitutive nodes, whose embeddings would be retained. Intuitively, the remaining accessory nodes could have their original embeddings “forgotten”, and yet reconstitutable from those of the retained constitutive nodes. The constitutive nodes thus represent the semantically constitutive entities, which retain the core semantics of the knowledge graph. We propose a formulation as well as algorithmic solutions to minimize the reconstitution errors. The derived constitutive nodes are validated empirically both in …

Waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) or e-waste describes end-of-life electronic products that are discarded. Due to their toxic and negative impacts to humans' health, many publications have been proposed to handle, however, studies related to e-waste collection and transportation to waste disposal sites are not widely studied so far. This study proposes a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model to solve the e-waste collecting problem by formulating it as the heterogeneous vehicle routing problem with multiple time windows (HVRPMTW). The model is validated with newly developed benchmark instances that are solved by commercial software, CPLEX. The model is …

The heterogeneous vehicle routing problem with time windows (HVRPTW) employs various vehicles with different capacities to serve upcoming pickup and delivery orders. We introduce a HVRPTW variant for reflecting the practical needs of crowd-shipping by considering the mass-rapid-transit stations, as the additional terminal points. A mixed integer linear programming model is formulated. An Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search based meta-heuristic is also developed by utilizing a basic probabilistic selection strategy, i.e. roulette wheel, and Simulated Annealing. The proposed approach is empirically evaluated on a new set of benchmark instances. The computational results revealed that ALNS shows its clear advantage on the …

Single-View View Synthesis With Self-Rectified Pseudo-Stereo, Yang Zhou, Hanjie Wu, Wenxi Liu, Zheng Xiong, Jing Qin, Shengfeng He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Synthesizing novel views from a single view image is a highly ill-posed problem. We discover an effective solution to reduce the learning ambiguity by expanding the single-view view synthesis problem to a multi-view setting. Specifically, we leverage the reliable and explicit stereo prior to generate a pseudo-stereo viewpoint, which serves as an auxiliary input to construct the 3D space. In this way, the challenging novel view synthesis process is decoupled into two simpler problems of stereo synthesis and 3D reconstruction. In order to synthesize a structurally correct and detail-preserved stereo image, we propose a self-rectified stereo synthesis to amend erroneous …
