Learning Transferable Deep Convolutional Neural Networks For The Classification Of Bacterial Virulence Factors, Dandan Zheng, Guansong Pang, Bo Liu, Lihong Chen, Jian Yang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Motivation: Identification of virulence factors (VFs) is critical to the elucidation of bacterial pathogenesis and prevention of related infectious diseases. Current computational methods for VF prediction focus on binary classification or involve only several class(es) of VFs with sufficient samples. However, thousands of VF classes are present in real-world scenarios, and many of them only have a very limited number of samples available.Results: We first construct a large VF dataset, covering 3446 VF classes with 160 495 sequences, and then propose deep convolutional neural network models for VF classification. We show that (i) for common VF classes with sufficient samples, …

Short-Term Repositioning For Empty Vehicles On Ride-Sourcing Platforms, Hai Wang, Zhengli Wang May 2020

Short-Term Repositioning For Empty Vehicles On Ride-Sourcing Platforms, Hai Wang, Zhengli Wang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Motivation Ride sourcing companies, such as Uber, Lyft, and Didi, have been able to leverage on internet-based platforms to connect passengers and drivers. These platforms facilitate passengers and drivers’ mobility data on smartphones in real time, which enables a convenient matching between demand and supply. The imbalance of demand (i.e., passenger requests) and supply (i.e., drivers) on the platforms causes many unserved passenger requests and empty vehicles with idle drivers to exist at the same time, which poses a challenging problem for the platform. To address these challenges, some platforms display heat maps of surge-pricing multipliers or real-time demand to …

Hierarchical Multiagent Reinforcement Learning For Maritime Traffic Management, Arambam James Singh, Akshat Kumar, Hoong Chuin Lau May 2020

Hierarchical Multiagent Reinforcement Learning For Maritime Traffic Management, Arambam James Singh, Akshat Kumar, Hoong Chuin Lau

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Increasing global maritime traffic coupled with rapid digitization and automation in shipping mandate developing next generation maritime traffic management systems to mitigate congestion, increase safety of navigation, and avoid collisions in busy and geographically constrained ports (such as Singapore's). To achieve these objectives, we model the maritime traffic as a large multiagent system with individual vessels as agents, and VTS (Vessel Traffic Service) authority as a regulatory agent. We develop a hierarchical reinforcement learning approach where vessels first select a high level action based on the underlying traffic flow, and then select the low level action that determines their future …

Learning Expensive Coordination: An Event-Based Deep Rl Approach, Runsheng Yu, Xinrun Wang, Rundong Wang, Youzhi Zhang, Bo An, Zhen Yu Shi, Hanjiang Lai May 2020

Learning Expensive Coordination: An Event-Based Deep Rl Approach, Runsheng Yu, Xinrun Wang, Rundong Wang, Youzhi Zhang, Bo An, Zhen Yu Shi, Hanjiang Lai

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Existing works in deep Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) mainly focus on coordinating cooperative agents to complete certain tasks jointly. However, in many cases of the real world, agents are self-interested such as employees in a company and clubs in a league. Therefore, the leader, i.e., the manager of the company or the league, needs to provide bonuses to followers for efficient coordination, which we call expensive coordination. The main difficulties of expensive coordination are that i) the leader has to consider the long-term effect and predict the followers’ behaviors when assigning bonuses, and ii) the complex interactions between followers make …

Non-Autoregressive Dialog State Tracking, Hung Le, Richard Socher, Steven C. H. Hoi May 2020

Non-Autoregressive Dialog State Tracking, Hung Le, Richard Socher, Steven C. H. Hoi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Recent efforts in Dialogue State Tracking (DST) for task-oriented dialogues have progressed toward open-vocabulary or generation-based approaches where the models can generate slot value candidates from the dialogue history itself. These approaches have shown good performance gain, especially in complicated dialogue domains with dynamic slot values. However, they fall short in two aspects: (1) they do not allow models to explicitly learn signals across domains and slots to detect potential dependencies among (domain, slot) pairs; and (2) existing models follow auto-regressive approaches which incur high time cost when the dialogue evolves over multiple domains and multiple turns. In this paper, …

Learning Discriminative Neural Sentiment Units For Semi-Supervised Target-Level Sentiment Classification, Jingjing Zhao, Yao Yang, Guansong Pang, Lei Lv, Hong Shang, Zhongqian Sun, Wei Yang May 2020

Learning Discriminative Neural Sentiment Units For Semi-Supervised Target-Level Sentiment Classification, Jingjing Zhao, Yao Yang, Guansong Pang, Lei Lv, Hong Shang, Zhongqian Sun, Wei Yang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Target-level sentiment classification aims at assigning sentiment polarities to opinion targets in a sentence, for which it is significantly more challenging to obtain large-scale labeled data than sentence/document-level sentiment classification due to the intricate contexts and relations of the target words. To address this challenge, we propose a novel semi-supervised approach to learn sentiment-aware representations from easily accessible unlabeled data specifically for the finegrained sentiment learning. This is very different from current popular semi-supervised solutions that use the unlabeled data via pretraining to generate generic representations for various types of downstream tasks. Particularly, we show for the first time that …

A Matheuristic Algorithm For Solving The Vehicle Routing Problem With Cross-Docking, Aldy Gunawan, Audrey Tedja Widjaja, Pieter Vansteenwegen, Vincent F. Yu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper studies the integration of the vehicle routing problem with cross-docking, namely VRPCD. The aim is to find a set of routes to deliver single products from a set of suppliers to a set of customers through a cross-dock facility, such that the operational and transportation costs are minimized, without violating the vehicle capacity and time horizon constraints. A two-phase matheuristic approach that uses the routes of the local optima of an adaptive large neighborhood search (ALNS) as columns in a set-partitioning formulation of the VRPCD is designed. This matheuristic outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms in solving a subset of …

A Cue Adaptive Decoder For Controllable Neural Response Generation, Weichao Wang, Shi Feng, Wei Gao, Daling Wang, Yifei Zhang Apr 2020

A Cue Adaptive Decoder For Controllable Neural Response Generation, Weichao Wang, Shi Feng, Wei Gao, Daling Wang, Yifei Zhang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In open-domain dialogue systems, dialogue cues such as emotion, persona, and emoji can be incorporated into conversation models for strengthening the semantic relevance of generated responses. Existing neural response generation models either incorporate dialogue cue into decoder’s initial state or embed the cue indiscriminately into the state of every generated word, which may cause the gradients of the embedded cue to vanish or disturb the semantic relevance of generated words during back propagation. In this paper, we propose a Cue Adaptive Decoder (CueAD) that aims to dynamically determine the involvement of a cue at each generation step in the decoding. …

Two Can Play That Game: An Adversarial Evaluation Of A Cyber-Alert Inspection System, Ankit Shah, Arunesh Sinha, Rajesh Ganesan, Sushil Jajodia, Hasan Cam

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Cyber-security is an important societal concern. Cyber-attacks have increased in numbers as well as in the extent of damage caused in every attack. Large organizations operate a Cyber Security Operation Center (CSOC), which forms the first line of cyber-defense. The inspection of cyber-alerts is a critical part of CSOC operations (defender or blue team). Recent work proposed a reinforcement learning (RL) based approach for the defender’s decision-making to prevent the cyber-alert queue length from growing large and overwhelming the defender. In this article, we perform a red team (adversarial) evaluation of this approach. With the recent attacks on learning-based decision-making …

Multi-Level Head-Wise Match And Aggregation In Transformer For Textual Sequence Matching, Shuohang Wang, Yunshi Lan, Yi Tay, Jing Jiang, Jingjing Liu Feb 2020

Multi-Level Head-Wise Match And Aggregation In Transformer For Textual Sequence Matching, Shuohang Wang, Yunshi Lan, Yi Tay, Jing Jiang, Jingjing Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Transformer has been successfully applied to many natural language processing tasks. However, for textual sequence matching, simple matching between the representation of a pair of sequences might bring in unnecessary noise. In this paper, we propose a new approach to sequence pair matching with Transformer, by learning head-wise matching representations on multiple levels. Experiments show that our proposed approach can achieve new state-of-the-art performance on multiple tasks that rely only on pre-computed sequence-vectorrepresentation, such as SNLI, MNLI-match, MNLI-mismatch, QQP, and SQuAD-binary

Gdface: Gated Deformation For Multi-View Face Image Synthesis, Xuemiao Xu, Keke Li, Cheng Xu, Shengfeng He Feb 2020

Gdface: Gated Deformation For Multi-View Face Image Synthesis, Xuemiao Xu, Keke Li, Cheng Xu, Shengfeng He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Photorealistic multi-view face synthesis from a single image is an important but challenging problem. Existing methods mainly learn a texture mapping model from the source face to the target face. However, they fail to consider the internal deformation caused by the change of poses, leading to the unsatisfactory synthesized results for large pose variations. In this paper, we propose a Gated Deformable Face Synthesis Network to model the deformation of faces that aids the synthesis of the target face image. Specifically, we propose a dual network that consists of two modules. The first module estimates the deformation of two views …

Bounding Regret In Empirical Games, Steven Jecmen, Arunesh Sinha, Zun Li, Long Tran-Thanh Feb 2020

Bounding Regret In Empirical Games, Steven Jecmen, Arunesh Sinha, Zun Li, Long Tran-Thanh

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Empirical game-theoretic analysis refers to a set of models and techniques for solving large-scale games. However, there is a lack of a quantitative guarantee about the quality of output approximate Nash equilibria (NE). A natural quantitative guarantee for such an approximate NE is the regret in the game (i.e. the best deviation gain). We formulate this deviation gain computation as a multi-armed bandit problem, with a new optimization goal unlike those studied in prior work. We propose an efficient algorithm Super-Arm UCB (SAUCB) for the problem and a number of variants. We present sample complexity results as well as extensive …

Solving Online Threat Screening Games Using Constrained Action Space Reinforcement Learning, Sanket Shah, Arunesh Sinha, Pradeep Varakantham, Andrew Perrault, Millind Tambe

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Large-scale screening for potential threats with limited resources and capacity for screening is a problem of interest at airports, seaports, and other ports of entry. Adversaries can observe screening procedures and arrive at a time when there will be gaps in screening due to limited resource capacities. To capture this game between ports and adversaries, this problem has been previously represented as a Stackelberg game, referred to as a Threat Screening Game (TSG). Given the significant complexity associated with solving TSGs and uncertainty in arrivals of customers, existing work has assumed that screenees arrive and are allocated security resources at …

Stochastically Robust Personalized Ranking For Lsh Recommendation Retrieval, Dung D. Le, Hady W. Lauw Feb 2020

Stochastically Robust Personalized Ranking For Lsh Recommendation Retrieval, Dung D. Le, Hady W. Lauw

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) has become one of the most commonly used approximate nearest neighbor search techniques to avoid the prohibitive cost of scanning through all data points. For recommender systems, LSH achieves efficient recommendation retrieval by encoding user and item vectors into binary hash codes, reducing the cost of exhaustively examining all the item vectors to identify the topk items. However, conventional matrix factorization models may suffer from performance degeneration caused by randomly-drawn LSH hash functions, directly affecting the ultimate quality of the recommendations. In this paper, we propose a framework named SRPR, which factors in the stochasticity of …

Topic Modeling On Document Networks With Adjacent-Encoder, Ce Zhang, Hady W. Lauw Feb 2020

Topic Modeling On Document Networks With Adjacent-Encoder, Ce Zhang, Hady W. Lauw

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Oftentimes documents are linked to one another in a network structure,e.g., academic papers cite other papers, Web pages link to other pages. In this paper we propose a holistic topic model to learn meaningful and unified low-dimensional representations for networked documents that seek to preserve both textual content and network structure. On the basis of reconstructing not only the input document but also its adjacent neighbors, we develop two neural encoder architectures. Adjacent-Encoder, or AdjEnc, induces competition among documents for topic propagation, and reconstruction among neighbors for semantic capture. Adjacent-Encoder-X, or AdjEnc-X, extends this to also encode the network structure …

Deepdualmapper: A Gated Fusion Network For Automatic Map Extraction Using Aerial Images And Trajectories, Hao Wu, Hanyuan Zhang, Xinyu Zhang, Weiwei Sun, Baihua Zheng, Yuning Jiang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Automatic map extraction is of great importance to urban computing and location-based services. Aerial image and GPS trajectory data refer to two different data sources that could be leveraged to generate the map, although they carry different types of information. Most previous works on data fusion between aerial images and data from auxiliary sensors do not fully utilize the information of both modalities and hence suffer from the issue of information loss. We propose a deep convolutional neural network called DeepDualMapper which fuses the aerial image and trajectory data in a more seamless manner to extract the digital map. We …

The coding of medical diagnosis and treatment has always been a challenging issue. Translating a patient’s complex symptoms, and a clinician’s efforts to address them, into a clear and unambiguous classification code was difficult even in simpler times. Now, however, hospitals and health insurance companies want very detailed information on what was wrong with a patient and the steps taken to treat them— for clinical record-keeping, for hospital operations review and planning, and perhaps most importantly, for financial reimbursement purposes.

Teacher-Student Networks With Multiple Decoders For Solving Math Word Problem, Jipeng Zhang, Roy Ka-Wei Lee, Ee-Peng Lim, Wei Qin, Lei Wang, Jie Shao, Qianru Sun Jan 2020

Teacher-Student Networks With Multiple Decoders For Solving Math Word Problem, Jipeng Zhang, Roy Ka-Wei Lee, Ee-Peng Lim, Wei Qin, Lei Wang, Jie Shao, Qianru Sun

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Math word problem (MWP) is challenging due to the limitation in training data where only one “standard” solution is available. MWP models often simply fit this solution rather than truly understand or solve the problem. The generalization of models (to diverse word scenarios) is thus limited. To address this problem, this paper proposes a novel approach, TSN-MD, by leveraging the teacher network to integrate the knowledge of equivalent solution expressions and then to regularize the learning behavior of the student network. In addition, we introduce the multiple-decoder student network to generate multiple candidate solution expressions by which the final answer …

Harmony Search Algorithm For Time-Dependent Vehicle Routing Problem With Time Windows, Yun-Chia Liang, Vanny Minanda, Aldy Gunawan, Angela Hsiang-Ling Chen

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a combinatorial problem where a certain set of nodes must be visited within a certain amount of time as well as the vehicle’s capacity. There are numerous variants of VRP such as VRP with time windows, where each node has opening and closing time, therefore, the visiting time must be during that interval. Another variant takes time-dependent constraint into account. This variant fits real-world scenarios, where at different period of time, the speed on the road varies depending on the traffic congestion. In this study, three objectives – total traveling time, total traveling distance, and …

Few-shot classification (FSC) is challenging due to the scarcity of labeled training data (e.g. only one labeled data point per class). Meta-learning has shown to achieve promising results by learning to initialize a classification model for FSC. In this paper we propose a novel semi-supervised meta-learning method called learning to self-train (LST) that leverages unlabeled data and specifically meta-learns how to cherry-pick and label such unsupervised data to further improve performance. To this end, we train the LST model through a large number of semi-supervised few-shot tasks. On each task, we train a few-shot model to predict pseudo labels for …
