Mitigating Regression Faults Induced By Feature Evolution In Deep Learning Systems, Hanmo Yu, Zan Wang, Xuyang Chen, Junjie Chen, Jun Sun, Shuang Liu, Zishuo Dong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Deep learning (DL) systems have been widely utilized across various domains. However, the evolution of DL systems can result in regression faults. In addition to the evolution of DL systems through the incorporation of new data, feature evolution, such as the addition of new features, is also common and can introduce regression faults. In this work, we first investigate the underlying factors that are correlated with regression faults in feature evolution scenarios, i.e., redundancy and contribution shift. Based on our investigation, we propose a novel mitigation approach called FeaProtect, which aims to minimize the impact of these two factors. To …
Crow: Eliminating Backdoors From Large Language Models Via Internal Consistency Regularization, Nay Myat Min, Long H. Pham, Yige Li, Jun Sun
Crow: Eliminating Backdoors From Large Language Models Via Internal Consistency Regularization, Nay Myat Min, Long H. Pham, Yige Li, Jun Sun
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Large Language Models (LLMs) are vulnerable to backdoor attacks that manipulate outputs via hidden triggers. Existing defense methods—designed for vision/text classification tasks—fail for text generation. We propose Internal Consistency Regularization (CROW), a defense leveraging the observation that backdoored models exhibit unstable layer-wise hidden representations when triggered, while clean models show smooth transitions. CROW enforces consistency across layers via adversarial perturbations and regularization during finetuning, neutralizing backdoors without requiring clean reference models or trigger knowledge—only a small clean dataset. Experiments across Llama-2 (7B, 13B), CodeLlama (7B, 13B), and Mistral-7B demonstrate CROW’s effectiveness: it achieves significant reductions in attack success rates across …

Llmscan: Causal Scan For Llm Misbehavior Detection, Mengdi Zhang, Kai Kiat Goh, Peixin Zhang, Jun Sun, Lin Xin Rose, Hongyu Zhang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Despite the success of Large Language Models (LLMs) across various fields, their potential to generate untruthful and harmful responses poses significant risks, particularly in critical applications. This highlights the urgent need for systematic methods to detect and prevent such misbehavior. While existing approaches target specific issues such as harmful responses, this work introduces LLMSCAN, an innovative LLM monitoring technique based on causality analysis, offering a comprehensive solution. LLMSCAN systematically monitors the inner workings of an LLM through the lens of causal inference, operating on the premise that the LLM’s ‘brain’ behaves differently when generating harmful or untruthful responses. By analyzing …
An On-The-Fly Synthesis Framework For Ltl Over Finite Traces, Shengping Xiao, Yongkang Li, Shufang Zhu, Jun Sun, Jianwen Li, Geguang Pu, Moshe Vardi
An On-The-Fly Synthesis Framework For Ltl Over Finite Traces, Shengping Xiao, Yongkang Li, Shufang Zhu, Jun Sun, Jianwen Li, Geguang Pu, Moshe Vardi
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We present an on-the-fly synthesis framework for Linear Temporal Logic over finite traces (LTLf) based on top-down deterministic automata construction. Existing approaches rely on constructing a complete Deterministic Finite Automaton (DFA) corresponding to the LTLf specification, a process with doubly exponential complexity relative to formula size in the worst case. In this case, the synthesis cannot be conducted until the entire DFA is constructed. This inefficiency is the main bottleneck of existing approaches. To address this challenge, we first present a method for converting LTLf into Transition-based DFA (TDFA) by directly leveraging LTLf semantics, incorporating intermediate results as direct components …

Efficient Prompt Tuning For Hierarchical Ingredient Recognition, Yinxuan Gui, Bin Zhu, Jingjing Chen, Chong-Wah Ngo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Fine-grained ingredient recognition presents a significant challenge due to the diverse appearances of ingredients, resulting from different cutting and cooking methods. While existing approaches have shown promising results, they still require extensive training costs and focus solely on fine-grained ingredient recognition. In this paper, we address these limitations by introducing an efficient prompt-tuning framework that adapts pretrained visual-language models (VLMs), such as CLIP, to the ingredient recognition task without requiring full model finetuning. Additionally, we introduce three-level ingredient hierarchies to enhance both training performance and evaluation robustness. Specifically, we propose a hierarchical ingredient recognition task, designed to evaluate model performance …

Dual-Target Disjointed Cross-Domain Recommendation Mediated Via Latent User Preferences, Dinh Hieu Do, Hady Wirawan Lauw
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Users often navigate multiple platforms online, each characterized by its own set of scarce data. Recommender systems face a significant challenge in such fragmented environments. This paper proposes a novel approach to enhance recommendation systems by leveraging connections across distinct yet conceptually similar datasets from multiple platforms. We introduce a unique scenario of dual-target overlapping-free cross-platform recommendation, presenting a bridging mechanism to mutually improve across platforms and learn latent user preferences. Our approach addresses the data sparsity prevalent in each platform and enhances recommendation quality by harnessing redundant, rich, and similar domain data. Experiments validate the effectiveness of our method, …

Foodlmm: A Versatile Food Assistant Using Large Multi-Modal Model, Yuehao Yin, Huiyan Qi, Bin Zhu, Jingjing Chen, Yu-Gang Jiang, Chong-Wah Ngo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Large Multi-modal Models (LMMs) have made impressive progress in many vision-language tasks. Nevertheless, the performance of general LMMs in specific domains is still far from satisfactory. This paper proposes FoodLMM, a versatile food assistant based on LMMs with various capabilities, including food recognition, ingredient recognition, recipe generation, nutrition estimation, food segmentation and multi-round conversation. To facilitate FoodLMM to deal with tasks beyond pure text output, we introduce a series of novel task-specific tokens and heads, enabling the model to predict food nutritional values and multiple segmentation masks. We adopt a two-stage training strategy. In the first stage, we utilize multiple …

Unveiling Knowledge Boundary Of Large Language Models For Trustworthy Information Access, Yang Deng, Moxin Li, Liang Pang, Wenxuan Zhang, Wai Lam
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Large Language Models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for generating content and facilitating information seeking across diverse domains. While their integration into conversational systems opens new avenues for interactive information-seeking experiences, their effectiveness is constrained by their knowledge boundaries—the limits of what they know and their ability to provide reliable, truthful, and contextually appropriate information. Understanding these boundaries is essential for maximizing the utility of LLMs for real-time information seeking while ensuring their reliability and trustworthiness. In this tutorial, we will explore the taxonomy of knowledge boundary in LLMs, addressing their handling of uncertainty, response calibration, and mitigation of …

Query understanding in CIS involves accurately interpreting user intent through context-aware interactions. This includes resolving ambiguities, refining queries, and adapting to evolving information needs. LLM enhance this process by interpreting nuanced language and adapting dynamically, improving the relevance and precision of search results in real-time. In this tutorial, we explore advanced techniques to enhance query understanding in LLM-based CIS systems. We delve into LLM-driven methods for developing robust evaluation metrics to assess query understanding quality in multi-turn interactions, strategies for building more interactive systems, and applications like proactive query management and query reformulation. We also discuss key challenges in integrating …

Hps: Hard Preference Sampling For Human Preference Alignment, Xiandong Zou, Wanyu Lin, Yuchen Li, Pan Zhou
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Aligning Large Language Model (LLM) responses with human preferences is vital for building safe and controllable AI systems. While preference optimization methods based on PlackettLuce (PL) and Bradley-Terry (BT) models have shown promise, they face challenges such as poor handling of harmful content, inefficient use of dispreferred responses, and, specifically for PL, high computational costs. To address these issues, we propose Hard Preference Sampling (HPS), a novel framework for robust and efficient human preference alignment. HPS introduces a training loss that prioritizes the most preferred response while rejecting all dispreferred and harmful ones. It emphasizes “hard” dispreferred responses — those …

Repairing Adversarial Texts Through Perturbation, Guoliang Dong, Jingyi Wang, Jun Sun, Sudipta Chattopadhyay, Xinyu Wang, Ting Dai, Jie Shi, Jin Song Dong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
It is known that neural networks are subject to attacks through adversarial perturbations. Worse yet, such attacks are impossible to eliminate, i.e., the adversarial perturbation is still possible after applying mitigation methods such as adversarial training. Multiple approaches have been developed to detect and reject such adversarial inputs. Rejecting suspicious inputs however may not be always feasible or ideal. First, normal inputs may be rejected due to false alarms generated by the detection algorithm. Second, denial-of-service attacks may be conducted by feeding such systems with adversarial inputs. To address this, in this work, we focus on the text domain and …

Sanitizable Cross-Domain Access Control With Policy-Driven Dynamic Authorization, Jianfei Sun, Guowen Xu, Hongwei Li, Tianwei Zhang, Cong Wu, Xuehuan Yang, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The increasing demand for secure and efficient data sharing has underscored the importance of developing robust cryptographic schemes. However, many existing endeavors have overlooked the following critical issues: (1) unauthorized access resulting from malicious information leakage by senders; (2) absence of constraints on write and read permissions for participants; (3) and inflexibility of strategies to dynamically designate ciphertexts to multiple recipients. In this paper, we present SCPA, a cross-domain access control scheme imbued with sanitization features and propelled by policy-driven dynamic authorization, tailored for cloud-based data sharing. This scheme not only facilitates access controls, including regulations for no-read and no-write …

Understanding The Bad Development Practices Of Android Custom Permissions In The Wild, Xiaohan Zhang, Zhiyuan Yu, Xinghua Li, Cen Zhang, Cong Sun, Ning Zhang, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Android system provides application developers with the ability to define custom permissions, which serve to moderate the sharing of resources and interactions with other applications. However, poor development practices of developers can render the permission mechanism ineffective, weakening the system protection. This paper presents a comprehensive examination of the problematic practices surrounding custom permissions employed by developers, referred to as Bad Practices of Custom Permissions (BPCP issues). To accomplish this, we conducted an empirical study and identified nine common BPCP issue patterns that can lead to various adverse consequences, such as installation failures, crashes, or even component hijacking. To automatically …
Unambiguous Granularity Distillation For Asymmetric Image Retrieval, Hongrui Zhang, Yi Xie, Haoquan Zhang, Cheng Xu, Xuandi Luo, Donglei Chen, Xuemiao Xu, Huaidong Zhang, Pheng Ann Heng, Shengfeng He
Unambiguous Granularity Distillation For Asymmetric Image Retrieval, Hongrui Zhang, Yi Xie, Haoquan Zhang, Cheng Xu, Xuandi Luo, Donglei Chen, Xuemiao Xu, Huaidong Zhang, Pheng Ann Heng, Shengfeng He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Previous asymmetric image retrieval methods based on knowledge distillation have primarily focused on aligning the global features of two networks to transfer global semantic information from the gallery network to the query network. However, these methods often fail to effectively transfer local semantic information, limiting the fine-grained alignment of feature representation spaces between the two networks. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel approach called Layered-Granularity Localized Distillation (GranDist). GranDist constructs layered feature representations that balance the richness of contextual information with the granularity of local features. As we progress through the layers, the contextual information becomes more detailed, …

Runtime Anomaly Detection For Drones: An Integrated Rule-Mining And Unsupervised Learning Approach, Ivan Wei Han Tan, Wei Minn, Christopher M. Poskitt, Lwin Khin Shar, Lingxiao Jiang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly referred to as drones, have witnessed a remarkable surge in popularity due to their versatile applications. These cyber-physical systems depend on multiple sensor inputs, such as cameras, GPS receivers, accelerometers, and gyroscopes, with faults potentially leading to physical instability and serious safety concerns. To mitigate such risks, anomaly detection has emerged as a crucial safeguarding mechanism, capable of identifying the physical manifestations of emerging issues and allowing operators to take preemptive action at runtime. Recent anomaly detection methods based on LSTM neural networks have shown promising results, but three challenges persist: the need for models …
Diversity Optimization For Travelling Salesman Problem Via Deep Reinforcement Learning, Qi Li, Zhiguang Cao, Yining Ma, Yaoxin Wu, Yue-Jiao Gong
Diversity Optimization For Travelling Salesman Problem Via Deep Reinforcement Learning, Qi Li, Zhiguang Cao, Yining Ma, Yaoxin Wu, Yue-Jiao Gong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Existing neural methods for the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) mostly aim at finding a single optimal solution. To discover diverse yet high-quality solutions for Multi-Solution TSP (MSTSP), we propose a novel deep reinforcement learning based neural solver, which is primarily featured by an encoder-decoder structured policy. Concretely, on the one hand, a Relativization Filter (RF) is designed to enhance the robustness of the encoder to affine transformations of the instances, so as to potentially improve the quality of the found solutions. On the other hand, a Multi-Attentive Adaptive Active Search (MA3S) is tailored to allow the decoders to strike a …

An Efficient Diffusion-Based Non-Autoregressive Solver For Traveling Salesman Problem, Mingzhao Wang, You Zhou, Zhiguang Cao, Yubin Xiao, Xuan Wu, Wei Pang, Yuan Jiang, Hui Yang, Peng Zhao, Yuanshu Li
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recent advances in neural models have shown considerable promise in solving Traveling Salesman Problems (TSPs) without relying on much hand-crafted engineering. However, while non-autoregressive (NAR) approaches benefit from faster inference through parallelism, they typically deliver solutions of inferior quality compared to autoregressive ones. To enhance the solution quality while maintaining fast inference, we propose DEITSP, a diffusion model with efficient iterations tailored for TSP that operates in a NAR manner. Firstly, we introduce a one-step diffusion model that integrates the controlled discrete noise addition process with self-consistency enhancement, enabling optimal solution prediction through simultaneous denoising of multiple solutions. Secondly, we …

Milpbench: A Large-Scale Benchmark Test Suite For Mixed Integer Linear Programming Problems, Huigen Ye, Yaoyang Cheng, Hua Xu, Zhiguang Cao, Hanzhang Qin
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) is a cornerstone of optimization with applications across numerous domains. However, the development and evaluation of MILP-solving algorithms are hindered by existing benchmark datasets, which are often limited in scale, lack diversity, and are poorly structured, making them inadequate for systematic testing across different solving approaches, especially for machine learning (ML)-based methods. To address these issues, we introduce MILPBench, a large-scale benchmark suite comprising 100,000 MILP instances organized into 60 well-categorized classes. Using structural properties and embedding similarity metrics, we developed a novel classification framework to ensure both intra-class homogeneity and inter-class diversity. In addition to …
Robust Relevance Feedback For Interactive Known-Item Video Search, Zhixin Ma, Chong-Wah Ngo
Robust Relevance Feedback For Interactive Known-Item Video Search, Zhixin Ma, Chong-Wah Ngo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Known-item search (KIS) involves only a single search target, making relevance feedback-typically a powerful technique for efficiently identifying multiple positive examples to infer user intent-inapplicable. PicHunter addresses this issue by asking users to select the top-k most similar examples to the unique search target from a displayed set. Under ideal conditions, when the user's perception aligns closely with the machine's perception of similarity, consistent and precise judgments can elevate the target to the top position within a few iterations. However, in practical scenarios, expecting users to provide consistent judgments is often unrealistic, especially when the underlying embedding features used for …
Retrieval Augmented Generation For Dynamic Graph Modeling, Yuxia Wu, Lizi Liao, Yuan Fang
Retrieval Augmented Generation For Dynamic Graph Modeling, Yuxia Wu, Lizi Liao, Yuan Fang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Modeling dynamic graphs, such as those found in social networks, recommendation systems, and e-commerce platforms, is crucial for capturing evolving relationships and delivering relevant insights over time. Traditional approaches primarily rely on graph neural networks with temporal components or sequence generation models, which often focus narrowly on the historical context of target nodes. This limitation restricts the ability to adapt to new and emerging patterns in dynamic graphs. To address this challenge, we propose a novel framework, Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Dy namic Graph modeling (RAG4DyG ), which enhances dynamic graph predictions by incorporating contextually and temporally relevant examples from broader …

Cradle: Empowering Foundation Agents Towards General Computer Control, Weihao Tan, Et. Al.
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Despite their success in specific scenarios, existing foundation agents still struggle to generalize across various virtual scenarios, mainly due to the dramatically different encapsulations of environments with manually designed observation and action spaces. To handle this issue, we propose the General Computer Control (GCC) setting to restrict foundation agents to interact with software through the most unified and standardized interface, i.e., using screenshots as input and keyboard and mouse actions as output. We introduce Cradle, a modular and flexible LMM-powered framework, as a preliminary attempt towards GCC. Enhanced by six key modules, Information Gathering, Self-Reflection, Task Inference, Skill Curation, Action …
