Urban commuting data has long been a vital source of understanding population mobility behaviour and has been widely adopted for various applications such as transport infrastructure planning and urban anomaly detection. While individual-specific transaction records (such as smart card (tap-in, tap-out) data or taxi trip records) hold a wealth of information, these are often private data available only to the service provider (e.g., taxicab operator). In this work, we explore the utility in harnessing publicly available, albeit noisy, transportation datasets, such as noisy “Estimated Time of Arrival" (ETA) records (commonly available to commuters through transit Apps or electronic signages). We …

Deprecation of APIs in software libraries is common when library maintainers make changes to a library and will no longer support certain APIs in the future. When deprecation occurs, developers whose programs depend on the APIs need to replace the usages of the deprecated APIs sooner or later. Often times, software documentation specifies which new APIs the developers should use in place of a deprecated API. However, replacing the usages of a deprecated API remains a challenge since developers may not know exactly how to use the new APIs. The developers would first need to understand the API changes before …

Knowledge Base Question Answering With A Matching-Aggregation Model And Question-Specific Contextual Relations, Yunshi Lan, Shuohang Wang, Jing Jiang Oct 2019

Knowledge Base Question Answering With A Matching-Aggregation Model And Question-Specific Contextual Relations, Yunshi Lan, Shuohang Wang, Jing Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Making use of knowledge bases to answer questions (KBQA) is a key direction in question answering systems. Researchers have developed a diverse range of methods to address this problem, but there are still some limitations with the existing methods. Specifically, the existing neural network-based methods for KBQA have not taken advantage of the recent “matching-aggregation” framework for the sequence matching, and when representing a candidate answer entity, they may not choose the most useful context of the candidate for matching. In this paper, we explore the use of a “matching-aggregation” framework to match candidate answers with questions. We further make …

Parametric Timed Model Checking For Guaranteeing Timed Opacity, Étienne André, Jun Sun Oct 2019

Parametric Timed Model Checking For Guaranteeing Timed Opacity, Étienne André, Jun Sun

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Information leakage can have dramatic consequences on systems security. Among harmful information leaks, the timing information leakage is the ability for an attacker to deduce internal information depending on the system execution time. We address the following problem: given a timed system, synthesize the execution times for which one cannot deduce whether the system performed some secret behavior. We solve this problem in the setting of timed automata (TAs). We first provide a general solution, and then extend the problem to parametric TAs, by synthesizing internal timings making the TA secure. We study decidability, devise algorithms, and show that our …

Collaborative Online Ranking Algorithms For Multitask Learning, Guangxia Li, Peilin Zhao, Tao Mei, Peng Yang, Yulong Shen, Julian K. Y. Chang, Steven C. H. Hoi Oct 2019

Collaborative Online Ranking Algorithms For Multitask Learning, Guangxia Li, Peilin Zhao, Tao Mei, Peng Yang, Yulong Shen, Julian K. Y. Chang, Steven C. H. Hoi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

There are many applications in which it is desirable to rank or order instances that belong to several different but related problems or tasks. Although unique, the individual ranking problem often shares characteristics with other problems in the group. Conventional ranking methods treat each task independently without considering the latent commonalities. In this paper, we study the problem of learning to rank instances that belong to multiple related tasks from the multitask learning perspective. We consider a case in which the information that is learned for a task can be used to enhance the learning of other tasks and propose …

Industrial control systems are critical to the operation of industrial facilities, especially for critical infrastructures, such as refineries, power grids, and transportation systems. Similar to other information systems, a significant threat to industrial control systems is the attack from cyberspace-the offensive maneuvers launched by "anonymous" in the digital world that target computer-based assets with the goal of compromising a system's functions or probing for information. Owing to the importance of industrial control systems, and the possibly devastating consequences of being attacked, significant endeavors have been attempted to secure industrial control systems from cyberattacks. Among them are intrusion detection systems that …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Cloud is a computing paradigm for allowing data owners to outsource their data to enjoy on-demand services and mitigate the burden of local data storage. However, secure sharing of data via cloud remains an essential issue since the cloud service provider is untrusted. Fortunately, asymmetric-key encryption, such as identity-based encryption (IBE) and attribute-based encryption (ABE), provides a promising tool to offer data confidentiality and has been widely applied in cloud-based applications. In this paper, we summarize the common properties of most of IBE and ABE and introduce a cryptographic primitive called ElGamal type cryptosystem. This primitive can be used to …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

An Internet of Things (IoT) system generally contains thousands of heterogeneous devices which often operate in swarms-large, dynamic, and self-organizing networks. Remote attestation is an important cornerstone for the security of these IoT swarms, as it ensures the software integrity of swarm devices and protects them from attacks. However, current attestation schemes suffer from single point of failure verifier. In this paper, we propose an Efficient and Secure Distributed Remote Attestation (ESDRA) scheme for IoT swarms. We present the first many-to-one attestation scheme for device swarms, which reduces the possibility of single point of failure verifier. Moreover, we utilize distributed …

Mixed-Dish Recognition With Contextual Relation Networks, Lixi Deng, Jingjing Chen, Qianru Sun, Xiangnan He, Sheng Tang, Zhaoyan Ming, Yongdong Zhang, Tat-Seng Chua

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Mixed dish is a food category that contains different dishes mixed in one plate, and is popular in Eastern and Southeast Asia. Recognizing individual dishes in a mixed dish image is important for health related applications, e.g. calculating the nutrition values. However, most existing methods that focus on single dish classification are not applicable to mixed-dish recognition. The new challenge in recognizing mixed-dish images are the complex ingredient combination and severe overlap among different dishes. In order to tackle these problems, we propose a novel approach called contextual relation networks (CR-Nets) that encodes the implicit and explicit contextual relations among …

Tighter Security Proofs For Post-Quantum Key Encapsulation Mechanism In The Multi-Challenge Setting, Zhengyu Zhang, Puwen Wei, Haiyang Xue

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Due to the threat posed by quantum computers, a series of works investigate the security of cryptographic schemes in the quantum-accessible random oracle model (QROM) where the adversary can query the random oracle in superposition. In this paper, we present tighter security proofs of a generic transformations for key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) in the QROM in the multi-challenge setting, where the reduction loss is independent of the number of challenge ciphertexts. In particular, we introduce the notion of multi-challenge OW-CPA (mOW-CPA) security, which captures the one-wayness of the underlying public key encryption (PKE) under chosen plaintext attack in the multi-challenge …

Multi-Label Thoracic Disease Image Classification With Cross-Attention Networks, Congbo Ma, Hu Wang, Steven C. H. Hoi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Automated disease classification of radiology images has been emerging as a promising technique to support clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. Unlike generic image classification tasks, a real-world radiology image classification task is significantly more challenging as it is far more expensive to collect the training data where the labeled data is in nature multi-label; and more seriously samples from easy classes often dominate; training data is highly class-imbalanced problem exists in practice as well. To overcome these challenges, in this paper, we propose a novel scheme of Cross-Attention Networks (CAN) for automated thoracic disease classification from chest x-ray images, which …

Semi-Supervised Deep Quantization For Cross-Modal Search, Xin Wang, Wenwu Zhu, Chenghao Liu Oct 2019

Semi-Supervised Deep Quantization For Cross-Modal Search, Xin Wang, Wenwu Zhu, Chenghao Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The problem of cross-modal similarity search, which aims at making efficient and accurate queries across multiple domains, has become a significant and important research topic. Composite quantization, a compact coding solution superior to hashing techniques, has shown its effectiveness for similarity search. However, most existing works utilizing composite quantization to search multi-domain content only consider either pairwise similarity information or class label information across different domains, which fails to tackle the semi-supervised problem in composite quantization. In this paper, we address the semi-supervised quantization problem by considering: (i) pairwise similarity information (without class label information) across different domains, which captures …

Duplicate Pull Request Detection: When Time Matters, Qingye Wang, Bowen Xu, Xin Xia, Ting Wang, Shanping Li Oct 2019

Duplicate Pull Request Detection: When Time Matters, Qingye Wang, Bowen Xu, Xin Xia, Ting Wang, Shanping Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In open source communities (e.g., GitHub), developers frequently submit pull requests to fix bugs or add new features during development process. Since the process of pull request is uncoordinated and distributed, it causes massive duplication. Usually, only the first pull request qualified by reviewers can be merged to the main branch of the repository, and the others are regarded as duplication by maintainers. Since the duplication largely aggravates workloads of project reviewers and maintainers, the evolutionary process of open source repositories is delayed. To identify the duplicate pull requests automatically, Ren et al. proposed a state-of-the-art approach that models a …

Solargest: Ubiquitous And Battery-Free Gesture Recognition Using Solar Cells, Dong Ma, Guohao Lan, Mahbub Hassan, Wen Hu, B. Mushfika Upama, Ashraf Uddin, Youseef, Moustafa

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We design a system, SolarGest, which can recognize hand gestures near a solar-powered device by analyzing the patterns of the photocurrent. SolarGest is based on the observation that each gesture interferes with incident light rays on the solar panel in a unique way, leaving its distinguishable signature in harvested photocurrent. Using solar energy harvesting laws, we develop a model to optimize design and usage of SolarGest. To further improve the robustness of SolarGest under non-deterministic operating conditions, we combine dynamic time warping with Z-score transformation in a signal processing pipeline to pre-process each gesture waveform before it is analyzed for …

Weakly-Supervised Deep Anomaly Detection With Pairwise Relation Learning, Guansong Pang, Anton Van Den Hengel, Chuanhua Shen Oct 2019

Weakly-Supervised Deep Anomaly Detection With Pairwise Relation Learning, Guansong Pang, Anton Van Den Hengel, Chuanhua Shen

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper studies a rarely explored but critical anomaly detection problem: weakly-supervised anomaly detection with limited labeled anomalies and a large unlabeled data set. This problem is very important because it (i) enables anomalyinformed modeling which helps identify anomalies of interests and address the notorious high false positives in unsupervised anomaly detection, and (ii) eliminates the reliance on large-scale and complete labeled anomaly data in fullysupervised settings. However, the problem is especially challenging since we have only limited labeled data for a single class, and moreover, the seen anomalies often cannot cover all types of anomalies (i.e., unseen anomalies). We …

Deep Hashing By Discriminating Hard Examples, Cheng Yan, Guansong Pang, Xiao Bai, Chunhua Shen, Jun Zhou, Edwin Hancock Oct 2019

Deep Hashing By Discriminating Hard Examples, Cheng Yan, Guansong Pang, Xiao Bai, Chunhua Shen, Jun Zhou, Edwin Hancock

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper tackles a rarely explored but critical problem within learning to hash, i.e., to learn hash codes that effectively discriminate hard similar and dissimilar examples, to empower large-scale image retrieval. Hard similar examples refer to image pairs from the same semantic class that demonstrate some shared appearance but have different fine-grained appearance. Hard dissimilar examples are image pairs that come from different semantic classes but exhibit similar appearance. These hard examples generally have a small distance due to the shared appearance. Therefore, effective encoding of the hard examples can well discriminate the relevant images within a small Hamming distance, …

Nonuniform Timeslicing Of Dynamic Graphs Based On Visual Complexity, Yong Wang, Daniel Archambault, Hammad Haleem, Torsten Moeller, Yanhong Wu, Huamin Qu Oct 2019

Nonuniform Timeslicing Of Dynamic Graphs Based On Visual Complexity, Yong Wang, Daniel Archambault, Hammad Haleem, Torsten Moeller, Yanhong Wu, Huamin Qu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Uniform timeslicing of dynamic graphs has been used due to its convenience and uniformity across the time dimension. However, uniform timeslicing does not take the data set into account, which can generate cluttered timeslices with edge bursts and empty timeslices with few interactions. The graph mining filed has explored nonuniform timeslicing methods specifically designed to preserve graph features for mining tasks. In this paper, we propose a nonuni-form timeslicing approach for dynamic graph visualization. Our goal is to create timeslices of equal visual complexity. To this end, we adapt histogram equalization to create timeslices with a similar number of events, …
