Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Drone-based crowd tracking faces difficulties in accurately identifying and monitoring objects from an aerial perspective, largely due to their small size and close proximity to each other, which complicates both localization and tracking. To address these challenges, we present the Density-aware Tracking (DenseTrack) framework. DenseTrack capitalizes on crowd counting to precisely determine object locations, blending visual and motion cues to improve the tracking of small-scale objects. It specifically addresses the problem of cross-frame motion to enhance tracking accuracy and dependability. DenseTrack employs crowd density estimates as anchors for exact object localization within video frames. These estimates are merged with motion …

Zero-Shot Object Counting With Good Exemplars, Huilin Zhu, Jingling Yuan, Zhengwei Yang, Yu Guo, Zheng Wang, Xian Zhong, Shengfeng He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Zero-shot object counting (ZOC) aims to enumerate objects in images using only the names of object classes during testing, without the need for manual annotations. However, a critical challenge in current ZOC methods lies in their inability to identify high-quality exemplars effectively. This deficiency hampers scalability across diverse classes and undermines the development of strong visual associations between the identified classes and image content. To this end, we propose the Visual Association-based Zero-shot Object Counting (VA-Count) framework. VACount consists of an Exemplar Enhancement Module (EEM) and a Noise Suppression Module (NSM) that synergistically refine the process of class exemplar identification …

Onerestore : A Universal Restoration Framework For Composite Degradation, Yu Guo, Yuan Gao, Yuxu Lu, Huilin Zhu, Ryan Wen Liu, Shengfeng He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In real-world scenarios, image impairments often manifest as composite degradations, presenting a complex interplay of elements such as low light, haze, rain, and snow. Despite this reality, existing restoration methods typically target isolated degradation types, thereby falling short in environments where multiple degrading factors coexist. To bridge this gap, our study proposes a versatile imaging model that consolidates four physical corruption paradigms to accurately represent complex, composite degradation scenarios. In this context, we propose OneRestore, a novel transformer-based framework designed for adaptive, controllable scene restoration. The proposed framework leverages a unique cross-attention mechanism, merging degraded scene descriptors with image features, …

Graph Continual Learning With Debiased Lossless Memory Replay, Chaoxi Niu, Guansong Pang, Ling Chen
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Real-life graph data often expands continually, rendering the learning of graph neural networks (GNNs) on static graph data impractical. Graph continual learning (GCL) tackles this problem by continually adapting GNNs to the expanded graph of the current task while maintaining the performance over the graph of previous tasks. Memory replay-based methods, which aim to replay data of previous tasks when learning new tasks, have been explored as one principled approach to mitigate the forgetting of the knowledge learned from the previous tasks. In this paper we extend this methodology with a novel framework, called Debiased Lossless Memory replay (DeLoMe). Unlike …

Cluster-Wide Task Slowdown Detection In Cloud System, Feiyi Chen, Yingying Zhang, Lunting Fan, Yuxuan Liang, Guansong Pang, Qingsong Wen, Shuiguang Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Slow task detection is a critical problem in cloud operation and maintenance since it is highly related to user experience and can bring substantial liquidated damages. Most anomaly detection methods detect it from a single-task aspect. However, considering millions of concurrent tasks in large-scale cloud computing clusters, it becomes impractical and inefficient. Moreover, single-task slowdowns are very common and do not necessarily indicate a malfunction of a cluster due to its violent fluctuation nature in a virtual environment. Thus, we shift our attention to cluster-wide task slowdowns by utilizing the duration time distribution of tasks across a cluster, so that …

Fdi : Attack Neural Code Generation Systems Through User Feedback Channel, Zhensu Sun, Xiaoning Du, Xiapu Luo, Fu Song, David Lo, Li Li
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Neural code generation systems have recently attracted increasing attention to improve developer productivity and speed up software development. Typically, these systems maintain a pre-trained neural model and make it available to general users as a service (e.g., through remote APIs) and incorporate a feedback mechanism to extensively collect and utilize the users' reaction to the generated code, i.e., user feedback. However, the security implications of such feedback have not yet been explored. With a systematic study of current feedback mechanisms, we find that feedback makes these systems vulnerable to feedback data injection (FDI) attacks. We discuss the methodology of FDI …

Our objective is to understand the discourse around discussions on such an attack, how it is received by the community, and whether developers respond to the attack in a timely manner. We study two notable protestware cases i.e., colors.js and es5-ext. Results indicate that protestware discussions are spread more quickly on the GitHub platform, while security vulnerabilities are faster on social media. By establishing a taxonomy of protestware discussions, we identify posts that express stances and provide …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Early identification of security issues in software development is vital to minimize their unanticipated impacts. Code review is a widely used manual analysis method that aims to uncover security issues along with other coding issues in software projects. While some studies suggest that automated static application security testing tools (SASTs) could enhance security issue identification, there is limited understanding of SAST’s practical effectiveness in supporting secure code review. Moreover, most SAST studies rely on synthetic or fully vulnerable versions of the subject program, which may not accurately represent real-world code changes in the code review process. To address this gap, …

The SZZ algorithm is used to connect bug-fixing commits to the earlier commits that introduced bugs. This algorithm has many applications and many variants have been devised. However, there are some types of commits that cannot be traced by the SZZ algorithm, referred to as “ghost commits”. The evaluation of how these ghost commits impact the SZZ implementations remains limited. Moreover, these implementations have been evaluated on datasets created by software engineering researchers from information in bug trackers and version controlled histories. Since Oct 2013, the Linux kernel developers have started labelling bug-fixing patches with the commit identifiers of the …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Time Series Anomaly Detection (TSAD) finds widespread applications across various domains such as financial markets, industrial production, and healthcare. Its primary objective is to learn the normal patterns of time series data, thereby identifying deviations in test samples. Most existing TSAD methods focus on modeling data from the temporal dimension, while ignoring the semantic information in the spatial dimension. To address this issue, we introduce a novel approach, called Spatial-Temporal Normality learning (STEN). STEN is composed of a sequence Order prediction-based Temporal Normality learning (OTN) module that captures the temporal correlations within sequences, and a Distance prediction-based Spatial Normality learning …

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have been widely deployed in software to address various tasks (e.g., autonomous driving, medical diagnosis). However, they can also produce incorrect behaviors that result in financial losses and even threaten human safety. To reveal and repair incorrect behaviors in DNNs, developers often collect rich, unlabeled datasets from the natural world and label them to test DNN models. However, properly labeling a large number of datasets is a highly expensive and time-consuming task. To address the above-mentioned problem, we propose NSS, Neuron Sensitivity Guided Test Case Selection, which can reduce the labeling time by selecting valuable test …

Quantum Relaxation For Solving Multiple Knapsack Problems, Monit Sharma, Jin Yan, Hoong Chuin Lau, Rudy Raymond
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Combinatorial problems are a common challenge in business, requiring finding optimal solutions under specified constraints. While significant progress has been made with variational approaches such as QAOA, most problems addressed are unconstrained (such as Max-Cut). In this study, we investigate a hybrid quantum-classical method for constrained optimization problems, particularly those with knapsack constraints that occur frequently in financial and supply chain applications. Our proposed method relies firstly on relaxations to local quantum Hamiltonians, defined through commutative maps. Drawing inspiration from quantum random access code (QRAC) concepts, particularly Quantum Random Access Optimizer (QRAO), we explore QRAO's potential in solving large constrained …

Efficient Cascaded Multiscale Adaptive Network For Image Restoration, Yichen Zhou, Pan Zhou, Teck Khim Ng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Image restoration, encompassing tasks such as deblurring, denoising, and super-resolution, remains a pivotal area in computer vision. However, efficiently addressing the spatially varying artifacts of various low-quality images with local adaptiveness and handling their degradations at different scales poses significant challenges. To efficiently tackle these issues, we propose the novel Efficient Cascaded Multiscale Adaptive (ECMA) Network. ECMA employs Local Adaptive Module, LAM, which dynamically adjusts convolution kernels across local image regions to efficiently handle varying artifacts. Thus, LAM addresses the local adaptiveness challenge more efficiently than costlier mechanisms like self-attention, due to its less computationally intensive convolutions. To construct a …

Automated visualization recommendation facilitates the rapid creation of effective visualizations, which is especially beneficial for users with limited time and limited knowledge of data visualization. There is an increasing trend in leveraging machine learning (ML) techniques to achieve an end-to-end visualization recommendation. However, existing ML-based approaches implicitly assume that there is only one appropriate visualization for a specific dataset, which is often not true for real applications. Also, they often work like a black box, and are difficult for users to understand the reasons for recommending specific visualizations. To fill the research gap, we propose AdaVis, an adaptive and explainable …
