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 …
Affinity Uncertainty-Based Hard Negative Mining In Graph Contrastive Learning, Chaoxi Niu, Guansong Pang, Ling Chen
Affinity Uncertainty-Based Hard Negative Mining In Graph Contrastive Learning, Chaoxi Niu, Guansong Pang, Ling Chen
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Hard negative mining has shown effective in enhancing self-supervised contrastive learning (CL) on diverse data types, including graph CL (GCL). The existing hardness-aware CL methods typically treat negative instances that are most similar to the anchor instance as hard negatives, which helps improve the CL performance, especially on image data. However, this approach often fails to identify the hard negatives but leads to many false negatives on graph data. This is mainly due to that the learned graph representations are not sufficiently discriminative due to oversmooth representations and/or non-independent and identically distributed (non-i.i.d.) issues in graph data. To tackle this …

Throughout history, static paintings have captivated viewers within display frames, yet the possibility of making these masterpieces vividly interactive remains intriguing. This research paper introduces 3DArtmator, a novel approach that aims to represent artforms in a highly interpretable stylized space, enabling 3D-aware animatable reconstruction and editing. Our rationale is to transfer the interpretability and 3D controllability of the latent space in a 3D-aware GAN to a stylized sub-space of a customized GAN, revitalizing the original artforms. To this end, the proposed two-stage optimization framework of 3DArtmator begins with discovering an anchor in the original latent space that accurately mimics the …

The costly human effort required to prepare the training data of machine learning (ML) models hinders their practical development and usage in software engineering (ML4Code), especially for those with limited budgets. Therefore, efficiently training models of code with less human effort has become an emergent problem. Active learning is such a technique to address this issue that allows developers to train a model with reduced data while producing models with desired performance, which has been well studied in computer vision and natural language processing domains. Unfortunately, there is no such work that explores the effectiveness of active learning for code …

Hrgcn: Heterogeneous Graph-Level Anomaly Detection With Hierarchical Relation-Augmented Graph Neural Networks, Jiaxi Li, Guansong Pang, Ling Chen, Mohammad-Reza Namazi-Rad
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This work considers the problem of heterogeneous graph-level anomaly detection. Heterogeneous graphs are commonly used to represent behaviours between different types of entities in complex industrial systems for capturing as much information about the system operations as possible. Detecting anomalous heterogeneous graphs from a large set of system behaviour graphs is crucial for many real-world applications like online web/mobile service and cloud access control. To address the problem, we propose HRGCN, an unsupervised deep heterogeneous graph neural network, to model complex heterogeneous relations between different entities in the system for effectively identifying these anomalous behaviour graphs. HRGCN trains a hierarchical …
Reinforced Adaptation Network For Partial Domain Adaptation, Keyu Wu, Min Wu, Zhenghua Chen, Ruibing Jin, Wei Cui, Zhiguang Cao, Xiaoli Li
Reinforced Adaptation Network For Partial Domain Adaptation, Keyu Wu, Min Wu, Zhenghua Chen, Ruibing Jin, Wei Cui, Zhiguang Cao, Xiaoli Li
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Domain adaptation enables generalized learning in new environments by transferring knowledge from label-rich source domains to label-scarce target domains. As a more realistic extension, partial domain adaptation (PDA) relaxes the assumption of fully shared label space, and instead deals with the scenario where the target label space is a subset of the source label space. In this paper, we propose a Reinforced Adaptation Network (RAN) to address the challenging PDA problem. Specifically, a deep reinforcement learning model is proposed to learn source data selection policies. Meanwhile, a domain adaptation model is presented to simultaneously determine rewards and learn domain-invariant feature …
Improving Rumor Detection By Promoting Information Campaigns With Transformer-Based Generative Adversarial Learning, Jing Ma, Jun Li, Wei Gao, Yang Yang, Kam-Fai Wong
Improving Rumor Detection By Promoting Information Campaigns With Transformer-Based Generative Adversarial Learning, Jing Ma, Jun Li, Wei Gao, Yang Yang, Kam-Fai Wong
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Rumors can cause devastating consequences to individuals and our society. Analysis shows that the widespread of rumors typically results from deliberate promotion of information aiming to shape the collective public opinions on the concerned event. In this paper, we combat such chaotic phenomenon with a countermeasure by mirroring against how such chaos is created to make rumor detection more robust and effective. Our idea is inspired by adversarial learning method originated from Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN). We propose a GAN-style approach, where a generator is designed to produce uncertain or conflicting voices, further polarizing the original conversational threads to boost …

Learning Relation Prototype From Unlabeled Texts For Long-Tail Relation Extraction, Yixin Cao, Jun Kuang, Ming Gao, Aoying Zhou, Yonggang Wen, Tat-Seng Chua
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Relation Extraction (RE) is a vital step to complete Knowledge Graph (KG) by extracting entity relations from texts. However, it usually suffers from the long-tail issue. The training data mainly concentrates on a few types of relations, leading to the lack of sufficient annotations for the remaining types of relations. In this paper, we propose a general approach to learn relation prototypes from unlabeled texts, to facilitate the long-tail relation extraction by transferring knowledge from the relation types with sufficient training data. We learn relation prototypes as an implicit factor between entities, which reflects the meanings of relations as well …

Getting access to labeled datasets in certain sensitive application domains can be challenging. Hence, one may resort to transfer learning to transfer knowledge learned from a source domain with sufficient labeled data to a target domain with limited labeled data. However, most existing transfer learning techniques only focus on one-way transfer which may not benefit the source domain. In addition, there is the risk of a malicious adversary corrupting a number of domains, which can consequently result in inaccurate prediction or privacy leakage. In this paper, we construct a secure and Verif iable collaborative T ransfer L earning scheme, VerifyTL, …
How To Find Actionable Static Analysis Warnings: A Case Study With Findbugs, Rahul Yedida, Hong Jin Kang, Huy Tu, Xueqi Yang, David Lo, Tim Menzies
How To Find Actionable Static Analysis Warnings: A Case Study With Findbugs, Rahul Yedida, Hong Jin Kang, Huy Tu, Xueqi Yang, David Lo, Tim Menzies
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Automatically generated static code warnings suffer from a large number of false alarms. Hence, developers only take action on a small percent of those warnings. To better predict which static code warnings should ot be ignored, we suggest that analysts need to look deeper into their algorithms to find choices that better improve the particulars of their specific problem. Specifically, we show here that effective predictors of such warnings can be created by methods that ocally adjust the decision boundary (between actionable warnings and others). These methods yield a new high water-mark for recognizing actionable static code warnings. For eight …
Mitigating Popularity Bias In Recommendation With Unbalanced Interactions: A Gradient Perspective, Weijieying Ren, Lei Wang, Kunpeng Liu, Ruocheng Guo, Ee-Peng Lim, Yanjie Fu
Mitigating Popularity Bias In Recommendation With Unbalanced Interactions: A Gradient Perspective, Weijieying Ren, Lei Wang, Kunpeng Liu, Ruocheng Guo, Ee-Peng Lim, Yanjie Fu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recommender systems learn from historical user-item interactions to identify preferred items for target users. These observed interactions are usually unbalanced following a long-tailed distribution. Such long-tailed data lead to popularity bias to recommend popular but not personalized items to users. We present a gradient perspective to understand two negative impacts of popularity bias in recommendation model optimization: (i) the gradient direction of popular item embeddings is closer to that of positive interactions, and (ii) the magnitude of positive gradient for popular items are much greater than that of unpopular items. To address these issues, we propose a simple yet efficient …

Learning Improvement Heuristics For Solving Routing Problems, Yaoxin Wu, Wen Song, Zhiguang Cao, Jie Zhang, Andrew Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recent studies in using deep learning to solve routing problems focus on construction heuristics, the solutions of which are still far from optimality. Improvement heuristics have great potential to narrow this gap by iteratively refining a solution. However, classic improvement heuristics are all guided by hand-crafted rules which may limit their performance. In this paper, we propose a deep reinforcement learning framework to learn the improvement heuristics for routing problems. We design a self-attention based deep architecture as the policy network to guide the selection of next solution. We apply our method to two important routing problems, i.e. travelling salesman …

Self-Supervised Video Representation Learning By Uncovering Spatio-Temporal Statistics, Jiangliu Wang, Jianbo Jiao, Linchao Bao, Shengfeng He, Wei Liu, Yun-Hui Liu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
This paper proposes a novel pretext task to address the self-supervised video representation learning problem. Specifically, given an unlabeled video clip, we compute a series of spatio-temporal statistical summaries, such as the spatial location and dominant direction of the largest motion, the spatial location and dominant color of the largest color diversity along the temporal axis, etc. Then a neural network is built and trained to yield the statistical summaries given the video frames as inputs. In order to alleviate the learning difficulty, we employ several spatial partitioning patterns to encode rough spatial locations instead of exact spatial Cartesian coordinates. …

Food retrieval is an important task to perform analysis of food-related information, where we are interested in retrieving relevant information about the queried food item such as ingredients, cooking instructions, etc. In this paper, we investigate cross-modal retrieval between food images and cooking recipes. The goal is to learn an embedding of images and recipes in a common feature space, such that the corresponding image-recipe embeddings lie close to one another. Two major challenges in addressing this problem are 1) large intra-variance and small inter-variance across cross-modal food data; and 2) difficulties in obtaining discriminative recipe representations. To address these …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
To improve the classification performance of support vector machines (SVMs) on imbalanced datasets, cost-sensitive learning methods have been proposed, e.g., DEC (Different Error Costs) and FSVM-CIL (Fuzzy SVM for Class Imbalance Learning). They relocate the hyperplane by adjusting the costs associated with misclassifying samples. However, the error costs are determined either empirically or by performing an exhaustive search in the parameter space. Both strategies can not guarantee effectiveness and efficiency simultaneously. In this paper, we propose ATEC, a solution that can efficiently find a preferable hyperplane by automatically tuning the error cost for between-class samples. ATEC distinguishes itself from all …

Orthogonal Inductive Matrix Completion, Antoine Ledent, Rrodrigo Alves, Marius Kloft
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We propose orthogonal inductive matrix completion (OMIC), an interpretable approach to matrix completion based on a sum of multiple orthonormal side information terms, together with nuclear-norm regularization. The approach allows us to inject prior knowledge about the singular vectors of the ground-truth matrix. We optimize the approach by a provably converging algorithm, which optimizes all components of the model simultaneously. We study the generalization capabilities of our method in both the distribution-free setting and in the case where the sampling distribution admits uniform marginals, yielding learning guarantees that improve with the quality of the injected knowledge in both cases. As …

Deep neural networks (DNNs) are continuously expanding their application to various domains due to their high performance. Nevertheless, a well-trained DNN after deployment could oftentimes raise errors during practical use in the operational environment due to the mismatching between distributions of the training dataset and the potential unknown noise factors in the operational environment, e.g., weather, blur, noise, etc. Hence, it poses a rather important problem for the DNNs' real-world applications: how to repair the deployed DNNs for correcting the failure samples under the deployed operational environment while not harming their capability of handling normal or clean data with limited …

Counterfactual Zero-Shot And Open-Set Visual Recognition, Zhongqi Yue, Tan Wang, Qianru Sun, Xian-Sheng Hua, Hanwang Zhang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We present a novel counterfactual framework for both Zero-Shot Learning (ZSL) and Open-Set Recognition (OSR), whose common challenge is generalizing to the unseen-classes by only training on the seen-classes. Our idea stems from the observation that the generated samples for unseen-classes are often out of the true distribution, which causes severe recognition rate imbalance between the seen-class (high) and unseen-class (low). We show that the key reason is that the generation is not Counterfactual Faithful, and thus we propose a faithful one, whose generation is from the sample-specific counterfactual question: What would the sample look like, if we set its …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Modeling the structure of culinary recipes is the core of recipe representation learning. Current approaches mostly focus on extracting the workflow graph from recipes based on text descriptions. Process images, which constitute an important part of cooking recipes, has rarely been investigated in recipe structure modeling. We study this recipe structure problem from a multi-modal learning perspective, by proposing a prerequisite tree to represent recipes with cooking images at a step-level granularity. We propose a simple-yet-effective two-stage framework to automatically construct the prerequisite tree for a recipe by (1) utilizing a trained classifier to detect pairwise prerequisite relations that fuses …

This paper reviews the NTIRE 2020 challenge on video quality mapping (VQM), which addresses the issues of quality mapping from source video domain to target video domain. The challenge includes both a supervised track (track 1) and a weakly-supervised track (track 2) for two benchmark datasets. In particular, track 1 offers a new Internet video benchmark, requiring algorithms to learn the map from more compressed videos to less compressed videos in a supervised training manner. In track 2, algorithms are required to learn the quality mapping from one device to another when their quality varies substantially and weaklyaligned video pairs …
Adaptive Loss-Aware Quantization For Multi-Bit Networks, Zhongnan Qu, Zimu Zhou, Yun Cheng, Lothar Thiele
Adaptive Loss-Aware Quantization For Multi-Bit Networks, Zhongnan Qu, Zimu Zhou, Yun Cheng, Lothar Thiele
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
We investigate the compression of deep neural networks by quantizing their weights and activations into multiple binary bases, known as multi-bit networks (MBNs), which accelerate the inference and reduce the storage for the deployment on low-resource mobile and embedded platforms. We propose Adaptive Loss-aware Quantization (ALQ), a new MBN quantization pipeline that is able to achieve an average bitwidth below one-bit without notable loss in inference accuracy. Unlike previous MBN quantization solutions that train a quantizer by minimizing the error to reconstruct full precision weights, ALQ directly minimizes the quantizationinduced error on the loss function involving neither gradient approximation nor …
Rotation Invariant Convolutions For 3d Point Clouds Deep Learning, Zhiyuan Zhang, Binh-Son Hua, David W. Rosen, Sai-Kit Yeung
Rotation Invariant Convolutions For 3d Point Clouds Deep Learning, Zhiyuan Zhang, Binh-Son Hua, David W. Rosen, Sai-Kit Yeung
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Recent progresses in 3D deep learning has shown that it is possible to design special convolution operators to consume point cloud data. However, a typical drawback is that rotation invariance is often not guaranteed, resulting in networks that generalizes poorly to arbitrary rotations. In this paper, we introduce a novel convolution operator for point clouds that achieves rotation invariance. Our core idea is to use low-level rotation invariant geometric features such as distances and angles to design a convolution operator for point cloud learning. The well-known point ordering problem is also addressed by a binning approach seamlessly built into the …

Automating Intention Mining, Qiao Huang, Xin Xia, David Lo, Gail C. Murphy
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Developers frequently discuss aspects of the systems they are developing online. The comments they post to discussions form a rich information source about the system. Intention mining, a process introduced by Di Sorbo et al., classifies sentences in developer discussions to enable further analysis. As one example of use, intention mining has been used to help build various recommenders for software developers. The technique introduced by Di Sorbo et al. to categorize sentences is based on linguistic patterns derived from two projects. The limited number of data sources used in this earlier work introduces questions about the comprehensiveness of intention …

Apibot: Question Answering Bot For Api Documentation, Yuan Tian, Ferdian Thung, Abhishek Sharma, David Lo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
As the carrier of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) knowledge, API documentation plays a crucial role in how developers learn and use an API. It is also a valuable information resource for answering API-related questions, especially when developers cannot find reliable answers to their questions online/offline. However, finding answers to API-related questions from API documentation might not be easy because one may have to manually go through multiple pages before reaching the relevant page, and then read and understand the information inside the relevant page to figure out the answers. To deal with this challenge, we develop APIBot, a bot that …

Second-Order Online Active Learning And Its Applications, Shuji Hao, Jing Lu, Peilin Zhao, Chi Zhang, Steven C. H. Hoi, Chunyan Miao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The goal of online active learning is to learn predictive models from a sequence of unlabeled data given limited label querybudget. Unlike conventional online learning tasks, online active learning is considerably more challenging because of two reasons.Firstly, it is difficult to design an effective query strategy to decide when is appropriate to query the label of an incoming instance givenlimited query budget. Secondly, it is also challenging to decide how to update the predictive models effectively whenever the true labelof an instance is queried. Most existing approaches for online active learning are often based on a family of first-order online …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In a distributed computing environment, peers collaboratively learn to classify concepts of interest from each other. When external changes happen and their concepts drift, the peers should adapt to avoid increase in misclassification errors. The problem of adaptation becomes more difficult when the changes are asynchronous, i.e., when peers experience drifts at different times. We address this problem by developing an ensemble approach, PINE, that combines reactive adaptation via drift detection, and proactive handling of upcoming changes via early warning and adaptation across the peers. With empirical study on simulated and real-world data sets, we show that PINE handles asynchronous …
