Rumor verification on social media aims to identify the truth value of a rumor, which is important to decreasethe detrimental public effects. A rumor might arouse heated discussions and replies, conveying differentstances of users that could be helpful in identifying the rumor. Thus, several works have been proposedto verify a rumor by modelling its entire stance sequence in the time domain. However, these works ignorethat such a stance sequence could be decomposed into controversies with different intensities, which could beused to cluster the stance sequences with the same consensus. In addition, the existing stance extractors fail toconsider both the impact …

Human social interactions occur in group settings of varying sizes and locations, depending on the type of social activity. The ability to distinguish group formations based on their purposes transforms how group detection mechanisms function. Not only should such tools support the effective detection of serendipitous encounters, but they can derive categories of relation types among users. Determining who is involved, what activity is performed, and when and where the activity occurs are critical to understanding group processes in greater depth, including supporting goal-oriented applications (e.g., performance, productivity, and mental health) that require sensing social factors. In this work, we …
Experience Report: Identifying Common Misconceptions And Errors Of Novice Programmers With Chatgpt, Hua Leong Fwa
Experience Report: Identifying Common Misconceptions And Errors Of Novice Programmers With Chatgpt, Hua Leong Fwa
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Identifying the misconceptions of novice programmers is pertinent for informing instructors of the challenges faced by their students in learning computer programming. In the current literature, custom tools, test scripts were developed and, in most cases, manual effort to go through the individual codes were required to identify and categorize the errors latent within the students' code submissions. This entails investment of substantial effort and time from the instructors. In this study, we thus propose the use of ChatGPT in identifying and categorizing the errors. Using prompts that were seeded only with the student's code and the model code solution …

Creative And Correct: Requesting Diverse Code Solutions From Ai, Scott Blyth, Markus Wagner, Christoph Treude
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
AI foundation models have the capability to produce a wide array of responses to a single prompt, a feature that is highly beneficial in software engineering to generate diverse code solutions. However, this advantage introduces a significant trade-off between diversity and correctness. In software engineering tasks, diversity is key to exploring design spaces and fostering creativity, but the practical value of these solutions is heavily dependent on their correctness. Our study systematically investigates this trade-off using experiments with HumanEval tasks, exploring various parameter settings and prompting strategies. We assess the diversity of code solutions using similarity metrics from the code …
Enhancing Source Code Representations For Deep Learning With Static Analysis, Xueting Guan, Christoph Treude
Enhancing Source Code Representations For Deep Learning With Static Analysis, Xueting Guan, Christoph Treude
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Deep learning techniques applied to program analysis tasks such as code classification, summarization, and bug detection have seen widespread interest. Traditional approaches, however, treat programming source code as natural language text, which may neglect significant structural or semantic details. Additionally, most current methods of representing source code focus solely on the code, without considering beneficial additional context. This paper explores the integration of static analysis and additional context such as bug reports and design patterns into source code representations for deep learning models. We use the Abstract Syntax Tree-based Neural Network (ASTNN) method and augment it with additional context information …
Impact Of Government Outsourcing Contracts On High-Tech Vendors: An Empirical Study, Yi Dong, Nan Hu, Yonghua Ji, Chenkai Ni, Jing Xie
Impact Of Government Outsourcing Contracts On High-Tech Vendors: An Empirical Study, Yi Dong, Nan Hu, Yonghua Ji, Chenkai Ni, Jing Xie
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Outsourcing is an important strategic decision of high-tech firms. However, while the research has extensively studied the implications of outsourcing to high-tech clients, its impact on high-tech vendors remains underexplored. This study empirically estimates the impact of government outsourcing contracts on high-tech vendors. Employing the earnings-return analyses framework, we find that, for high-tech vendors engaged in government outsourcing contracts, the stock market places a higher value on each unit of unexpected earnings compared to other firms. Additionally, this impact becomes stronger for contracts with longer terms, for contracts outsourced by the U.S. government or by countries with better political and …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is a research field at the intersection between machine learning and logic programming, focusing on developing a formal framework for inductively learning relational descriptions in the form of logic programs from examples and background knowledge. As an emerging method of ILP, Meta-Interpretive Learning (MIL) leverages the specialization of a set of higher-order metarules to learn logic programs. In MIL, the input includes a set of examples, background knowledge, and a set of metarules, while the output is a logic program. MIL executes a depth-first traversal search, where its program search space expands polynomially with the number …

Hypergraphs With Attention On Reviews For Explainable Recommendation, Theis E. Jendal, Trung Hoang Le, Hady Wirawan Lauw, Matteo Lissandrini, Peter Dolog, Katja Hose
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Given a recommender system based on reviews, the challenges are how to effectively represent the review data and how to explain the produced recommendations. We propose a novel review-specific Hypergraph (HG) model, and further introduce a model-agnostic explainability module. The HG model captures high-order connections between users, items, aspects, and opinions while maintaining information about the review. The explainability module can use the HG model to explain a prediction generated by any model. We propose a path-restricted review-selection method biased by the user preference for item reviews and propose a novel explanation method based on a review graph. Experiments on …

Application Of Collaborative Learning Paradigms Within Software Engineering Education: A Systematic Mapping Study, Rita Garcia, Christoph Treude, Andrew Valentine
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Collaboration is used in Software Engineering (SE) to develop software. Industry seeks SE graduates with collaboration skills to contribute to productive software development. SE educators can use Collaborative Learning (CL) to help students develop collaboration skills. This paper uses a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) to examine the application of the CL educational theory in SE Education. The SMS identified 14 papers published between 2011 and 2022. We used qualitative analysis to classify the papers into four CL paradigms: Conditions, Effect, Interactions, and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). We found a high interest in CSCL, with a shift in student interaction research …

Win: Weight-Decay-Integrated Nesterov Acceleration For Faster Network Training, Pan Zhou, Xingyu Xie, Zhouchen Lin, Kim-Chuan Toh, Shuicheng Yan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Training deep networks on large-scale datasets is computationally challenging. This work explores the problem of “how to accelerate adaptive gradient algorithms in a general manner", and proposes an effective Weight-decay-Integrated Nesterov acceleration (Win) to accelerate adaptive algorithms. Taking AdamW and Adam as examples, per iteration, we construct a dynamical loss that combines the vanilla training loss and a dynamic regularizer inspired by proximal point method, and respectively minimize the first- and second-order Taylor approximations of dynamical loss to update variable. This yields our Win acceleration that uses a conservative step and an aggressive step to update, and linearly combines these …

We present the hardware design and software pipeline for an ultra-low power device, in the form factor of a wearable badge, that supports energy efficient sensing, processing and wireless transfer of human voice commands and interactions. The proposed system, called PA2BLO, is envisioned to support both: (a) real-time, scalable, authorized voice based interaction and control of devices and appliances, and (b) longitudinal, low-power logging of natural voice interactions. PA2BLO in-troduces two key novel capabilities. First, it includes a low power, low-complexity voice authentication module that is able to reliably authenticate an authorized user only using low sampling rate (500 Hz) …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Fault localization is a critical process that involves identifying specific program elements responsible for program failures. Manually pinpointing these elements, such as classes, methods, or statements, which are associated with a fault is laborious and time-consuming. To overcome this challenge, various fault localization tools have been developed. These tools typically generate a ranked list of suspicious program elements. However, this information alone is insufficient. A prior study emphasized that automated fault localization should offer a rationale. In this study, we investigate the step-by-step reasoning for explainable fault localization. We explore the potential of Large Language Models (LLM) in assisting developers …

Screening Through A Broad Pool: Towards Better Diversity For Lexically Constrained Text Generation, Changsen Yuan, Heyan Huang, Yixin Cao, Qianwen Cao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Lexically constrained text generation (CTG) is to generate text that contains given constrained keywords. However, the text diversity of existing models is still unsatisfactory. In this paper, we propose a lightweight dynamic refinement strategy that aims at increasing the randomness of inference to improve generation richness and diversity while maintaining a high level of fluidity and integrity. Our basic idea is to enlarge the number and length of candidate sentences in each iteration, and choose the best for subsequent refinement. On the one hand, different from previous works, which carefully insert one token between two words per action, we insert …

Iterative Graph Self-Distillation, Hanlin Zhang, Shuai Lin, Weiyang Liu, Pan Zhou, Jian Tang, Xiaodan Liang, Eric Xing
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recently, there has been increasing interest in the challenge of how to discriminatively vectorize graphs. To address this, we propose a method called Iterative Graph Self-Distillation (IGSD) which learns graph-level representation in an unsupervised manner through instance discrimination using a self-supervised contrastive learning approach. IGSD involves a teacher-student distillation process that uses graph diffusion augmentations and constructs the teacher model using an exponential moving average of the student model. The intuition behind IGSD is to predict the teacher network representation of the graph pairs under different augmented views. As a natural extension, we also apply IGSD to semi-supervised scenarios by …
Towards Understanding Convergence And Generalization Of Adamw, Pan Zhou, Xingyu Xie, Zhouchen Lin, Shuicheng Yan
Towards Understanding Convergence And Generalization Of Adamw, Pan Zhou, Xingyu Xie, Zhouchen Lin, Shuicheng Yan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
AdamW modifies Adam by adding a decoupled weight decay to decay network weights per training iteration. For adaptive algorithms, this decoupled weight decay does not affect specific optimization steps, and differs from the widely used ℓ2-regularizer which changes optimization steps via changing the first- and second-order gradient moments. Despite its great practical success, for AdamW, its convergence behavior and generalization improvement over Adam and ℓ2-regularized Adam (ℓ2-Adam) remain absent yet. To solve this issue, we prove the convergence of AdamW and justify its generalization advantages over Adam and ℓ2-Adam. Specifically, AdamW provably converges but minimizes a dynamically regularized loss that …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We consider the problem of formally verifying almost-sure (a.s.) asymptotic stability in discrete-time nonlinear stochastic control systems. While verifying stability in deterministic control systems is extensively studied in the literature, verifying stability in stochastic control systems is an open problem. The few existing works on this topic either consider only specialized forms of stochasticity or make restrictive assumptions on the system, rendering them inapplicable to learning algorithms with neural network policies. In this work, we present an approach for general nonlinear stochastic control problems with two novel aspects: (a) instead of classical stochastic extensions of Lyapunov functions, we use ranking …

Self-Admitted Technical Debts Identification: How Far Are We?, Hao Gu, Shichao Zhang, Qiao Huang, Zhifang Liao, Jiakun Liu, David Lo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Self-admitted technical debt (SATD) is a kind of technical debt that is already acknowledged by the developers and needs additional work or resources to address in the future. In recent years, though many methods have been proposed to detect SATDs, these methods have mainly focused on Java-type code comments published by Maldonado et al. It is unclear whether these methods trained on Maldonado's code comments dataset can find SATD in other programming languages or other software artifacts, such as issue trackers, pull requests, and commit messages effectively. In order to answer the above confusion and investigate how far our community …

Deep Learning (DL) technologies have been widely adopted to tackle various tasks. In this process, through software dependencies, a multi-layer DL supply chain (SC) is formed, with DL frameworks acting as the root, DL packages acting as the bridge nodes, and downstream DL projects acting as the periphery. However, most Open Source Software (OSS) projects may fail. Considering the crucial position of DL packages in the DL SC, to foster the sustainable development of DL SCs and DL packages, we aim to forecast the long-term sustainability of DL packages. Here, sustained activity is adopted as the main proxy of sustainability, …

Gsword: Gpu-Accelerated Sampling For Subgraph Counting, Chang Ye, Yuchen Li, Shixuan Sun, Wentian Guo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Subgraph counting is a fundamental component for many downstream applications such as graph representation learning and query optimization. Since obtaining the exact count is often intractable, there have been a plethora of approximation methods on graph sampling techniques. Nonetheless, the state-of-the-art sampling methods still require massive samples to produce accurate approximations on large data graphs. We propose gSWORD, a GPU framework that leverages the massive parallelism of GPUs to accelerate iterative sampling algorithms for subgraph counting. Despite the embarrassingly parallel nature of the samples, there are unique challenges in accelerating subgraph counting due to its irregular computation logic. To address …

The study discusses a method for monitoring the internal condition of choke valves to predict sand erosion using flow coefficient (Cv). The method calculates the Cv of the choke valve by utilizing eight parameters and compares it to the newly manufactured value to generate warnings. However, the availability of spot-check well test data can significantly impact the model's efficiency if tests are performed infrequently. To address this issue, the Extended Cv monitoring method is proposed in this paper. The main purpose of this study is to develop a model for estimating Cv value in the absence of well test data. …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Automatic segmentation of medical images plays an important role in the diagnosis of diseases. On single-modal data, convolutional neural networks have demonstrated satisfactory performance. However, multi-modal data encompasses a greater amount of information rather than single-modal data. Multi-modal data can be effectively used to improve the segmentation accuracy of regions of interest by analyzing both spatial and temporal information. In this study, we propose a dual-path segmentation model for multi-modal medical images, named TranSiam. Taking into account that there is a significant diversity between the different modalities, TranSiam employs two parallel CNNs to extract the features which are specific to …

Simulated Annealing With Reinforcement Learning For The Set Team Orienteering Problem With Time Windows, Vincent F. Yu, Nabila Y. Salsabila, Shih-W Lin, Aldy Gunawan
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This research investigates the Set Team Orienteering Problem with Time Windows (STOPTW), a new variant of the well-known Team Orienteering Problem with Time Windows and Set Orienteering Problem. In the STOPTW, customers are grouped into clusters. Each cluster is associated with a profit attainable when a customer in the cluster is visited within the customer's time window. A Mixed Integer Linear Programming model is formulated for STOPTW to maximizing total profit while adhering to time window constraints. Since STOPTW is an NP-hard problem, a Simulated Annealing with Reinforcement Learning (SARL) algorithm is developed. The proposed SARL incorporates the core concepts …

Non-Monotonic Generation Of Knowledge Paths For Context Understanding, Pei-Chi Lo, Ee-Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Knowledge graphs can be used to enhance text search and access by augmenting textual content with relevant background knowledge. While many large knowledge graphs are available, using them to make semantic connections between entities mentioned in the textual content remains to be a difficult task. In this work, we therefore introduce contextual path generation (CPG) which refers to the task of generating knowledge paths, contextual path, to explain the semantic connections between entities mentioned in textual documents with given knowledge graph. To perform CPG task well, one has to address its three challenges, namely path relevance, incomplete knowledge graph, and …

Non-Binary Evaluation Of Next-Basket Food Recommendation, Yue Liu, Palakorn Achananuparp, Ee-Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Next-basket recommendation (NBR) is a recommendation task that predicts a basket or a set of items a user is likely to adopt next based on his/her history of basket adoption sequences. It enables a wide range of novel applications and services from predicting next basket of items for grocery shopping to recommending food items a user is likely to consume together in the next meal. Even though much progress has been made in the algorithmic NBR research over the years, little research has been done to broaden knowledge about the evaluation of NBR methods, which is largely based on the …

Fixing Your Own Smells: Adding A Mistake-Based Familiarization Step When Teaching Code Refactoring, Ivan Wei Han Tan, Christopher M. Poskitt
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Programming problems can be solved in a multitude of functionally correct ways, but the quality of these solutions (e.g. readability, maintainability) can vary immensely. When code quality is poor, symptoms emerge in the form of 'code smells', which are specific negative characteristics (e.g. duplicate code) that can be resolved by applying refactoring patterns. Many undergraduate computing curricula train students on this software engineering practice, often doing so via exercises on unfamiliar instructor-provided code. Our observation, however, is that this makes it harder for novices to internalise refactoring as part of their own development practices. In this paper, we propose a …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Enabling efficient and accurate deep neural network (DNN) inference on microcontrollers is non-trivial due to the constrained on-chip resources. Current methodologies primarily focus on compressing larger models yet at the expense of model accuracy. In this paper, we rethink the problem from the inverse perspective by constructing small/weak models directly and improving their accuracy. Thus, we introduce DiTMoS, a novel DNN training and inference framework with a selectorclassifiers architecture, where the selector routes each input sample to the appropriate classifier for classification. DiTMoS is grounded on a key insight: a composition of weak models can exhibit high diversity and the …

Active Discovering New Slots For Task-Oriented Conversation, Yuxia Wu, Tianhao Dai, Zhedong Zheng, Lizi Liao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Existing task-oriented conversational systems heavily rely on domain ontologies with pre-defined slots and candidate values. In practical settings, these prerequisites are hard to meet, due to the emerging new user requirements and ever-changing scenarios. To mitigate these issues for better interaction performance, there are efforts working towards detecting out-of-vocabulary values or discovering new slots under unsupervised or semi-supervised learning paradigms. However, overemphasizing on the conversation data patterns alone induces these methods to yield noisy and arbitrary slot results. To facilitate the pragmatic utility, real-world systems tend to provide a stringent amount of human labeling quota, which offers an authoritative way …

Taxi drivers often take much time to navigate the streets to look for passengers, which leads to high vacancy rates and wasted resources. Empty taxi cruising remains a big concern for taxi companies. Analyzing the pick-up point selection behavior can solve this problem effectively, providing suggestions for taxi management and dispatch. Many studies have been devoted to analyzing and recommending hotspot regions of pick-up points, which can make it easier for drivers to pick-up passengers. However, the selection of pick-up points is complex and affected by multiple factors, such as convenience and traffic management. Most existing approaches cannot produce satisfactory …

Digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs) have a significant stride in the applications of medicine and the biochemistry in recent years. DMFBs based on micro-electrode-dot-array (MEDA) architecture, as the next-generation DMFBs, aim to overcome drawbacks of conventional DMFBs, such as droplet size restriction, low accuracy, and poor sensing ability. Since the potential market value of MEDA biochips is vast, it is of paramount importance to explore approaches to protect the intellectual property (IP) of MEDA biochips during the development process. In this paper, an IP authentication strategy based on the multi-PUF applied to MEDA biochips is presented, called bioMPUF, consisting of Delay …

Conditional Neural Heuristic For Multiobjective Vehicle Routing Problems, Mingfeng Fan, Yaoxin Wu, Zhiguang Cao, Wen Song, Guillaume Sartoretti, Huan Liu, Guohua Wu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Existing neural heuristics for multiobjective vehicle routing problems (MOVRPs) are primarily conditioned on instance context, which failed to appropriately exploit preference and problem size, thus holding back the performance. To thoroughly unleash the potential, we propose a novel conditional neural heuristic (CNH) that fully leverages the instance context, preference, and size with an encoder–decoder structured policy network. Particularly, in our CNH, we design a dual-attention-based encoder to relate preferences and instance contexts, so as to better capture their joint effect on approximating the exact Pareto front (PF). We also design a size-aware decoder based on the sinusoidal encoding to explicitly …
