Bias Testing And Mitigation In Llm-Based Code Generation, Dong Huang, Jie M. Zhang, Qingwen Bu, Xiaofei Xie, Junjie Chen, Heming Cui Dec 2025

Bias Testing And Mitigation In Llm-Based Code Generation, Dong Huang, Jie M. Zhang, Qingwen Bu, Xiaofei Xie, Junjie Chen, Heming Cui

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

As the adoption of LLMs becomes more widespread in software coding ecosystems, a pressing issue has emerged: does the generated code contain social bias and unfairness, such as those related to age, gender, and race? This issue concerns the integrity, fairness, and ethical foundation of software applications that depend on the code generated by these models but are underexplored in the literature. This paper presents a novel bias testing framework that is specifically designed for code generation tasks. Based on this framework, we conduct an extensive empirical study on the biases in code generated by five widely studied LLMs (i.e., …

Kpiroot+: An Efficient Integrated Framework For Anomaly Detection And Root Cause Analysis In Large-Scale Cloud Systems, Wenwei Gu, Renyi Zhong, Guangba Yu, Xinying Sun, Jinyang Liu, Yintong Huo, Zhuangbin Chen, Jianping Zhang, Jiazhen Gu, Yongqiang Yang, Michael R. Lyu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

To ensure the reliability of cloud systems, their runtime status reflecting the service quality is periodically monitored with monitoring metrics, i.e., KPIs (key performance indicators). When performance issues happen, root cause localization pinpoints the specific KPIs that are responsible for the degradation of overall service quality, facilitating prompt problem diagnosis and resolution. To this end, existing methods generally locate root-cause KPIs by identifying the KPIs that exhibit a similar anomalous trend to the overall service performance. While straightforward, solely relying on the similarity calculation may be ineffective when dealing with cloud systems with complicated interdependent services. Recent deep learning-based methods …

Genscore: Agent-Based Short-Answer Question Generation And Scoring In Software Engineering Courses, Nguyen Binh Duong Ta, Lwin Khin Shar Dec 2025

Genscore: Agent-Based Short-Answer Question Generation And Scoring In Software Engineering Courses, Nguyen Binh Duong Ta, Lwin Khin Shar

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Short-answer questions are commonly used in educational assessments, as they are often viewed as a more effective way than multiple-choice questions to determine whether students have achieved the intended learning outcomes. However, manually creating appropriate questions targeting different cognitive levels such as those defined by the Bloom’s Taxonomy, and grading text answers from students are not trivial tasks for instructors. Existing work on auto-question generation and scoring in computing education typically targets coding-based questions. However, in software engineering courses, assessments can extend beyond coding to understanding of processes, DevOps methodologies, system design, etc. This work aims to address the dual …

Reliable-Data-Split (Rds): Maximizing Model Potential With Reinforced Selection Strategy, Hoang D. Nguyen, Xuan-Son Vu, Quoc Tuan Truong, Duc-Trong Le

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The nexus between data characteristics and parametric models is fundamental for developing effective and reliable artificial intelligence (AI) systems. Mismatches in data properties for model development may lead to deleterious effects on AI model performance in machine learning practice. This paper proposes a Reliable Data Split (RDS) procedure to learn how to select data points that will generalise the target domain adequately by employing prior knowledge of the data generative process. We introduce a reinforced selection strategy using deep reinforcement learning with diverse black box predictors in maximising ensemble rewards as the proxy of model performance potential while maintaining an …

Research Collection College of Integrative Studies

In cities, the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being directed towards transforming different aspects of urban life. These applications take material form in urban spaces, with autonomous vehicles (AVs) providing a prominent example. AI systems rely on large volumes of data on their surroundings to refine the algorithms and enhance the accuracy of prediction for operational efficiency and safety. However, such algorithmic learning and execution can present challenges when dealing with the unpredictable, complex, and dynamic aspects of urban spaces. Nature is a paradigmatic example of such unpredictability, because natural phenomena usually defy consistent patterns and precise data-based modelling. …

Mando-Llm: Heterogeneous Graph Transformers With Large Language Models For Smart Contract Vulnerability Detection, Nhat Minh Nguyen, Huu Hoang Nguyen, Long Le Thanh, Zahra Ahmadi, Thanh Nam Doan, Daoyuan Wu, Lingxiao Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Detecting vulnerabilities in smart contracts is vital for the security and reliability of decentralized apps. To facilitate vulnerability detection, contract codes, including bug patterns, are represented as heterogeneous graphs with various nodes and edges, like control-flow and function-call graphs. However, existing graph learning techniques struggle with large, complex graphs. This paper presents MANDO-LLM, a novel framework that combines heterogeneous graph transformers (HGTs) with large language models (LLMs) for detecting vulnerabilities in smart contracts represented as heterogeneous contract graphs built upon control-flow and call graphs. MANDO-LLM uses LLMs to capture code features from control-flow and call data, customizes HGTs to learn …

Agentguard: An Active Threat Discovery System For Package Confusion Using Multi-Agent Collaboration, Wei Ma, Yu Li, Zhi Chen, Ye Liu, Lingxiao Jiang, Qiang Hu, Junyi Tao Dec 2025

Agentguard: An Active Threat Discovery System For Package Confusion Using Multi-Agent Collaboration, Wei Ma, Yu Li, Zhi Chen, Ye Liu, Lingxiao Jiang, Qiang Hu, Junyi Tao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The proliferation of open-source software (OSS) has made software supply chains prime targets for attacks like Package Confusion, where adversaries publish malicious packages with names deceptively similar to legitimate ones. Existing detection methods often rely on simple lexical similarity or passive analysis of known package pairs, struggle with high false positive rates (FPR), fail to proactively identify emerging threats, and are vulnerable to adversarial evasion. To overcome these limitations, we introduce AgentGuard, a novel framework for proactive, single-input package confusion detection. AgentGuard employs a multi-agent architecture that autonomously discovers potential confusion targets using fine-tuned word embedding model to hybird semantic …

Registration Is A Powerful Rotation-Invariance Learner For 3d Anomaly Detection, Yuyang Yu, Zhengwei Chen, Xuemiao Xu, Lei Zhang, Haoxin Yang, Yongwei Nie, Shengfeng He Dec 2025

Registration Is A Powerful Rotation-Invariance Learner For 3d Anomaly Detection, Yuyang Yu, Zhengwei Chen, Xuemiao Xu, Lei Zhang, Haoxin Yang, Yongwei Nie, Shengfeng He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

3D anomaly detection in point-cloud data is critical for industrial quality control, aiming to identify structural defects with high reliability. However, current memory bank-based methods often suffer from inconsistent feature transformations and limited discriminative capacity, particularly in capturing local geometric details and achieving rotation invariance. These limitations become more pronounced when registration fails, leading to unreliable detection results. We argue that point-cloud registration plays an essential role not only in aligning geometric structures but also in guiding feature extraction toward rotation-invariant and locally discriminative representations. To this end, we propose a registration-induced, rotation-invariant feature extraction framework that integrates the objectives …

Safe-Sora: Safe Text-To-Video Generation Via Graphical Watermarking, Zihan Su, Xuerui Qiu, Hongbin Xu, Tangyu Jiang, Jun-Hao Zhuang, Chun Yuan, Ming Li, Shengfeng He, Fei Yu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The explosive growth of generative video models has amplified the demand for reliable copyright preservation of AI-generated content. Despite its popularity in image synthesis, invisible generative watermarking remains largely underexplored in video generation. To address this gap, we propose Safe-Sora, the first framework to embed graphical watermarks directly into the video generation process. Motivated by the observation that watermarking performance is closely tied to the visual similarity between the watermark and cover content, we introduce a hierarchical coarse-to-fine adaptive matching mechanism. Specifically, the watermark image is divided into patches, each assigned to the most visually similar video frame, and further …

Stableguard: Towards Unified Copyright Protection And Tamper Localization In Latent Diffusion Models, Haoxin Yang, Bangzhen Liu, Xuemiao Xu, Cheng Xu, Yuyang Yu, Zikai Huang, Yi Wang, Shengfeng He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The advancement of diffusion models has enhanced the realism of AI-generated content but also raised concerns about misuse, necessitating robust copyright protection and tampering localization. Although recent methods have made progress toward unified solutions, their reliance on post hoc processing introduces considerable application inconvenience and compromises forensic reliability. We propose StableGuard, a novel framework that seamlessly integrates a binary watermark into the diffusion generation process, ensuring copyright protection and tampering localization in Latent Diffusion Models through an end-to-end design. We develop a Multiplexing Watermark VAE (MPW-VAE) by equipping a pretrained Variational Autoencoder (VAE) with a lightweight latent residual-based adapter, enabling …

Jury-And-Judge Chain-Of-Thought For Uncovering Toxic Data In 3d Visual Grounding, Kaixiang Huang, Qifeng Zhang, Jin Wang, Jingru Yang, Yang Zhou, Huan Yu, Guodong Lu, Shengfeng He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

3D Visual Grounding (3DVG) faces persistent challenges due to coarse scene-level observations and logically inconsistent annotations, which introduce ambiguities that compromise data quality and hinder effective model supervision. To address these challenges, we introduce Refer-Judge, a novel framework that harnesses the reasoning capabilities of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to identify and mitigate toxic data. At the core of Refer-Judge is a Jury-and-Judge Chain-of-Thought paradigm, inspired by the deliberative process of the judicial system. This framework targets the root causes of annotation noise: jurors collaboratively assess 3DVG samples from diverse perspectives, providing structured, multi-faceted evaluations. Judges then consolidate these insights …

Misodice: Multi-Agent Imitation From Mixed-Quality Demonstrations, The Viet Bui, Tien Mai, Hong Thanh Nguyen Dec 2025

Misodice: Multi-Agent Imitation From Mixed-Quality Demonstrations, The Viet Bui, Tien Mai, Hong Thanh Nguyen

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We study offline imitation learning (IL) in cooperative multi-agent settings, where demonstrations have unlabeled mixed quality - containing both expert and suboptimal trajectories. Our proposed solution is structured in two stages: trajectory labeling and multi-agent imitation learning, designed jointly to enable effective learning from heterogeneous, unlabeled data. In the first stage, we combine advances in large language models and preference-based reinforcement learning to construct a progressive labeling pipeline that distinguishes expert-quality trajectories. In the second stage, we introduce MisoDICE, a novel multi-agent IL algorithm that leverages these labels to learn robust policies while addressing the computational complexity of large joint …

Iostom: Offline Imitation Learning From Observations Via State Transition Occupancy Matching, Quang Anh Pham, Brahmanage Janaka Chathuranga Thilakarathna, Tien Mai, Akshat Kumar Dec 2025

Iostom: Offline Imitation Learning From Observations Via State Transition Occupancy Matching, Quang Anh Pham, Brahmanage Janaka Chathuranga Thilakarathna, Tien Mai, Akshat Kumar

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Offline Learning from Observations (LfO) focuses on enabling agents to imitate expert behavior using datasets that contain only expert state trajectories and separate transition data with suboptimal actions. This setting is both practical and critical in real-world scenarios where direct environment interaction or access to expert action labels is costly, risky, or infeasible. Most existing LfO methods attempt to solve this problem through state or state-action occupancy matching. They typically rely on pretraining a discriminator to differentiate between expert and non-expert states, which could introduce errors and instability—especially when the discriminator is poorly trained. While recent discriminator-free methods have emerged, …

No Experts, No Problem: Avoidance Learning From Bad Demonstrations, Minh Huy Hoang, Tien Mai, Pradeep Varakantham Dec 2025

No Experts, No Problem: Avoidance Learning From Bad Demonstrations, Minh Huy Hoang, Tien Mai, Pradeep Varakantham

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper addresses the problem of learning avoidance behavior within the context of offline imitation learning. In contrast to conventional methodologies that prioritize the replication of expert or near-expert demonstrations, our work investigates a setting where expert (or desirable) data is absent, and the objective is to learn to eschew undesirable actions by leveraging demonstrations of such behavior (i.e., learning from negative examples).To address this challenge, we propose a novel training objective grounded in the maximum entropy principle. We further characterize the fundamental properties of this objective function, reformulating the learning process as a cooperative inverse Q-learning task. Moreover, we …

Rising From Ashes: Generalized Federated Learning Via Dynamic Parameter Reset, Jiahao Wu, Ming Hu, Yanxin Yang, Xiaofei Xie, Zekai Chen, Chenyu Song, Mingsong Chen Dec 2025

Rising From Ashes: Generalized Federated Learning Via Dynamic Parameter Reset, Jiahao Wu, Ming Hu, Yanxin Yang, Xiaofei Xie, Zekai Chen, Chenyu Song, Mingsong Chen

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Although Federated Learning (FL) is promising for privacy-preserving collaborative model training, it suffers from low inference performance due to heterogeneous client data. Due to heterogeneous data across clients, FL training easily learns client-specific overfitting features. Existing FL methods adopt coarsegrained averaging, which can easily cause the global model to get stuck in local optima, leading to poor generalization. Specifically, this paper presents a novel FL framework, FedPhoenix, to address this issue. It stochastically resets partial parameters in each round to destroy some features of the global model, guiding FL training to learn multiple generalized features for inference rather than specific …

When Less Language Is More: Language-Reasoning Disentanglement Makes Llms Better Multilingual Reasoners, Weixiang Zhao, Jiahe Guo, Yang Deng, Tongtong Wu, Wenxuan Zhang, Yulin Hu, Xingyu Sui, Yanyan Zhao, Wanxiang Che, Bing Qin, Tat-Seng Chua, Ting Liu Dec 2025

When Less Language Is More: Language-Reasoning Disentanglement Makes Llms Better Multilingual Reasoners, Weixiang Zhao, Jiahe Guo, Yang Deng, Tongtong Wu, Wenxuan Zhang, Yulin Hu, Xingyu Sui, Yanyan Zhao, Wanxiang Che, Bing Qin, Tat-Seng Chua, Ting Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Multilingual reasoning remains a significant challenge for large language models (LLMs), with performance disproportionately favoring high-resource languages. Drawing inspiration from cognitive neuroscience, which suggests that human reasoning functions largely independently of language processing, we hypothesize that LLMs similarly encode reasoning and language as separable components that can be disentangled to enhance multilingual reasoning. To evaluate this, we perform a causal intervention by ablating language-specific representations at inference time. Experiments on 10 open-weight LLMs spanning 11 typologically diverse languages show that this language-specific ablation consistently boosts multilingual reasoning performance. Layer-wise analyses further confirm that language and reasoning representations can be effectively …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The prevention and treatment of crop diseases are crucial for the development of smart agriculture. The classification of crop diseases based on deep learning for early disease monitoring and control has become the mainstream direction of research. This paper proposes a novel deep learning model called ”CropCapsNet”, which combines Squeeze-and-Excitation Inception (SE-Inception) module and has improved capsule structure for crop disease classification. The network first extracts shallow features of input samples through double-layer convolution, then uses SE-Inception to achieve deep multi-scale feature acquisition, and finally outputs classification results through an improved capsule structure. SE-Inception adds Squeeze-and-Excitation(SE) attention after each multi-scale …

Does Generative Ai Facilitate Investor Trading? Early Evidence From Chatgpt Outages, Qiang Cheng, Pengkai Lin, Yue Zhao Nov 2025

Does Generative Ai Facilitate Investor Trading? Early Evidence From Chatgpt Outages, Qiang Cheng, Pengkai Lin, Yue Zhao

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

In this paper, we use ChatGPT outages to provide early evidence on whether investors rely on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to perform professional tasks and the associated impact on stock price informativeness. We document a significant decline in stock trading volume during ChatGPT outages. The effect is stronger for firms with corporate news released immediately before or during the outages and for firms with higher ownership held by transient institutional investors. We then document declines in short-run price impact and return variance during the outage periods, consistent with reduced informed trading. Lastly, we document a positive effect of GenAI-assisted trading …

Graph Perturbations For Robust Knowledge Discovery And Retrieval, Hanhua Xiao Nov 2025

Graph Perturbations For Robust Knowledge Discovery And Retrieval, Hanhua Xiao

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

Graph perturbation, rooted in classical perturbation theory, studies how small topology edits, i.e., adding or deleting edges, affects graph properties (e.g., density, centrality). This fundamental problem underpins applications like bioinformatics, privacy preservation and system defense. While much prior work targets perturbations that influence global graph statistics or model outputs, comparatively little addresses robustness for knowledge discovery and information retrieval. In these settings, graphs are attributed: nodes carry real-world semantics (e.g., locations, people) and edges encode interactions or relationships. This thesis proposes new formulations and algorithms that generate and leverage graph perturbations to make knowledge discovery and retrieval more robust. Specifically, …

The Agile Earth Observation Satellite scheduling selects and sequences satellite observations of possible targets on the Earth’s surface, each with a specific profit and multiple time windows. The objective is to maximize the collected profit of all observations completed under some operational constraints. The problem can be modeled as a variant of the Team Orienteering Problem with Time Windows (TOPTW). The key differences with the regular TOPTW are twofold: first, a time-dependent transition time is required for each pair of consecutive observations to adjust the camera’s look angles. Second, the time windows of each target vary during different observation cycles, …

Predict Social Economic Outcomes By Transferred Knowledge With Satellite Imagery, Yang Tang, Shih-Fen Cheng, Yunqiang Zhu, Yichen Yang, Zhiqiang Zou

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Traditional deep learning methods and econometric models have played a crucial role in the field of data mining, particularly in the prediction of socioeconomic outcomes. However, socio-economic information is unable to be directly extracted from remote sensing data. So, in this paper, we propose a method to leverage transfer learning to predict socioeconomic indicators (outcomes) through satellite imagery. Specifically, we use road network types as a proxy for socioeconomic factors, which is more effective and stable than using nightlight. We have extracted eleven distinct road topological features to generate reasonable road network types. Given the unique characteristics of road networks, …

Unified Molecule Pre-Training With Flexible 2d And 3d Modalities: Single And Paired Modality Integration, Tengwei Song, Min Wu, Yuan Fang Nov 2025

Unified Molecule Pre-Training With Flexible 2d And 3d Modalities: Single And Paired Modality Integration, Tengwei Song, Min Wu, Yuan Fang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Molecular representation learning plays a crucial role in advancing applications such as drug discovery and material design. Existing work leverages 2D and 3D modalities of molecular information for pre-training, aiming to capture comprehensive structural and geometric insights. However, these methods require paired 2D and 3D molecular data to train the model effectively and prevent it from collapsing into a single modality, posing limitations in scenarios where a certain modality is unavailable or computationally expensive to generate. To overcome this limitation, we propose FlexMol, a flexible molecule pre-training framework that learns unified molecular representations while supporting single-modality input. Specifically, inspired by …

Metacan: Improving Generalizability Of Few‑Shot Anomaly Detection With Meta‑Learning, Zhisheng Lv, Jianfeng Zhang, Songlei Jian, Chenlin Huang, Hongguang Zhang, Guansong Pang, Zhong Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Few-shot Anomaly Detection (AD) for images aims to detect anomalies with few-shot normal samples from the target dataset. It is a crucial task when only few samples can be obtained, and it is challenging since it needs to be generalized to different domains. Existing methods try to enhance the generalizability of AD by incorporating large vision-language models (LVLMs).However, how to transform category semantic information in LVLMs into anomaly information to improve the generalizability of AD remains a challenge facing existing methods.To address the challenge, we propose a few-shot AD method called MetaCAN, a novel category-to-anomaly network trained with AD meta-learning …
