Action-Sufficient State Representation Learning For Control With Structural Constraints, Biwei Huang, Chaochao Lu, Liu Leqi, Josã© Miguel Hernã¡Ndez-Lobato, Clark Glymour, Bernhard Schã¶Lkopf, Kun Zhang Jul 2022

Action-Sufficient State Representation Learning For Control With Structural Constraints, Biwei Huang, Chaochao Lu, Liu Leqi, Josã© Miguel Hernã¡Ndez-Lobato, Clark Glymour, Bernhard Schã¶Lkopf, Kun Zhang

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

Perceived signals in real-world scenarios are usually high-dimensional and noisy, and finding and using their representation that contains essential and sufficient information required by downstream decision-making tasks will help improve computational efficiency and generalization ability in the tasks. In this paper, we focus on partially observable environments and propose to learn a minimal set of state representations that capture sufficient information for decision-making, termed Action-Sufficient state Representations (ASRs). We build a generative environment model for the structural relationships among variables in the system and present a principled way to characterize ASRs based on structural constraints and the goal of maximizing …

Gradient-Free Method For Heavily Constrained Nonconvex Optimization, Wanli Shi, Hongchang Gao, Bin Gu Jul 2022

Gradient-Free Method For Heavily Constrained Nonconvex Optimization, Wanli Shi, Hongchang Gao, Bin Gu

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

Zeroth-order (ZO) method has been shown to be a powerful method for solving the optimization problem where explicit expression of the gradients is difficult or infeasible to obtain. Recently, due to the practical value of the constrained problems, a lot of ZO Frank-Wolfe or projected ZO methods have been proposed. However, in many applications, we may have a very large number of nonconvex white/black-box constraints, which makes the existing zeroth-order methods extremely inefficient (or even not working) since they need to inquire function value of all the constraints and project the solution to the complicated feasible set. In this paper, …

Identification Of Linear Non-Gaussian Latent Hierarchical Structure, Feng Xie, Biwei Huang, Zhengming Chen, Yangbo He, Zhi Geng, Kun Zhang Jul 2022

Identification Of Linear Non-Gaussian Latent Hierarchical Structure, Feng Xie, Biwei Huang, Zhengming Chen, Yangbo He, Zhi Geng, Kun Zhang

Machine Learning Faculty Publications

Traditional causal discovery methods mainly focus on estimating causal relations among measured variables, but in many real-world problems, such as questionnaire-based psychometric studies, measured variables are generated by latent variables that are causally related. Accordingly, this paper investigates the problem of discovering the hidden causal variables and estimating the causal structure, including both the causal relations among latent variables and those between latent and measured variables. We relax the frequently-used measurement assumption and allow the children of latent variables to be latent as well, and hence deal with a specific type of latent hierarchical causal structure. In particular, we define …

Fair, Equitable, And Just: A Socio-Technical Approach To Online Safety, Daricia Wilkinson Jul 2022

Fair, Equitable, And Just: A Socio-Technical Approach To Online Safety, Daricia Wilkinson

All Dissertations

Socio-technical systems have been revolutionary in reshaping how people maintain relationships, learn about new opportunities, engage in meaningful discourse, and even express grief and frustrations. At the same time, these systems have been central in the proliferation of harmful behaviors online as internet users are confronted with serious and pervasive threats at alarming rates. Although researchers and companies have attempted to develop tools to mitigate threats, the perception of dominant (often Western) frameworks as the standard for the implementation of safety mechanisms fails to account for imbalances, inequalities, and injustices in non-Western civilizations like the Caribbean. Therefore, in this dissertation …

A Mean-Field Markov Decision Process Model For Spatial Temporal Subsidies In Ride-Sourcing Markets, Zheng Zhu, Jintao Ke, Hai Wang Jul 2022

A Mean-Field Markov Decision Process Model For Spatial Temporal Subsidies In Ride-Sourcing Markets, Zheng Zhu, Jintao Ke, Hai Wang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Ride-sourcing services are increasingly popular because of their ability to accommodate on-demand travel needs. A critical issue faced by ride-sourcing platforms is the supply-demand imbalance, as a result of which drivers may spend substantial time on idle cruising and picking up remote passengers. Some platforms attempt to mitigate the imbalance by providing relocation guidance for idle drivers who may have their own self-relocation strategies and decline to follow the suggestions. Platforms then seek to induce drivers to system-desirable locations by offering them subsidies. This paper proposes a mean-field Markov decision process (MF-MDP) model to depict the dynamics in ride-sourcing markets …

An Empirical Study On Data Distribution-Aware Test Selection For Deep Learning Enhancement, Qiang Hu, Yuejun Guo, Maxime Cordy, Xiaofei Xie, Lei Ma, Mike Papadakis, Yves Le Traon Jul 2022

An Empirical Study On Data Distribution-Aware Test Selection For Deep Learning Enhancement, Qiang Hu, Yuejun Guo, Maxime Cordy, Xiaofei Xie, Lei Ma, Mike Papadakis, Yves Le Traon

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Similar to traditional software that is constantly under evolution, deep neural networks need to evolve upon the rapid growth of test data for continuous enhancement (e.g., adapting to distribution shift in a new environment for deployment). However, it is labor intensive to manually label all of the collected test data. Test selection solves this problem by strategically choosing a small set to label. Via retraining with the selected set, deep neural networks will achieve competitive accuracy. Unfortunately, existing selection metrics involve three main limitations: (1) using different retraining processes, (2) ignoring data distribution shifts, and (3) being insufficiently evaluated. To …

Ai-Enabled Adaptive Learning Using Automated Topic Alignment And Doubt Detection, Kar Way Tan, Siaw Ling Lo, Eng Lieh Ouh, Wei Leng Neo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Implementing adaptive learning is often a challenging task at higher learning institutions where the students come from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. In this work, we collected informal learning journals from learners. Using the journals, we trained two machine learning models, an automated topic alignment and a doubt detection model to identify areas of adjustment required for teaching and students who require additional attention. The models form the baseline for a quiz recommender tool to dynamically generate personalized quizzes for each learner as practices to reinforce learning. Our pilot deployment of our AI-enabled Adaptive Learning System showed that our approach delivers …

Review Of Some Existing Qml Frameworks And Novel Hybrid Classical-Quantum Neural Networks Realising Binary Classification For The Noisy Datasets, N. Schetakis, D. Aghamalyan, Paul Robert Griffin, M. Boguslavsky Jul 2022

Review Of Some Existing Qml Frameworks And Novel Hybrid Classical-Quantum Neural Networks Realising Binary Classification For The Noisy Datasets, N. Schetakis, D. Aghamalyan, Paul Robert Griffin, M. Boguslavsky

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

One of the most promising areas of research to obtain practical advantage is Quantum Machine Learning which was born as a result of cross-fertilisation of ideas between Quantum Computing and Classical Machine Learning. In this paper, we apply Quantum Machine Learning (QML) frameworks to improve binary classification models for noisy datasets which are prevalent in financial datasets. The metric we use for assessing the performance of our quantum classifiers is the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve AUC-ROC. By combining such approaches as hybrid-neural networks, parametric circuits, and data re-uploading we create QML inspired architectures and utilise them for …

Structured And Natural Responses Co-Generation For Conversational Search, Chenchen Ye, Lizi Liao, Fuli Feng, Wei Ji, Tat-Seng Chua Jul 2022

Structured And Natural Responses Co-Generation For Conversational Search, Chenchen Ye, Lizi Liao, Fuli Feng, Wei Ji, Tat-Seng Chua

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Generating fluent and informative natural responses while maintaining representative internal states for search optimization is critical for conversational search systems. Existing approaches either 1) predict structured dialog acts first and then generate natural response; or 2) map conversation context to natural responses directly in an end-to-end manner. Both kinds of approaches have shortcomings. The former suffers from error accumulation while the semantic associations between structured acts and natural responses are confined in single direction. The latter emphasizes generating natural responses but fails to predict structured acts. Therefore, we propose a neural co-generation model that generates the two concurrently. The key …

Multi-Level Cross-View Contrastive Learning For Knowledge-Aware Recommender System, Ding Zou, Wei Wei, Xian-Ling Mao, Ziyang Wang, Minghui Qiu, Feida Zhu, Xin Cao Jul 2022

Multi-Level Cross-View Contrastive Learning For Knowledge-Aware Recommender System, Ding Zou, Wei Wei, Xian-Ling Mao, Ziyang Wang, Minghui Qiu, Feida Zhu, Xin Cao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Knowledge graph (KG) plays an increasingly important role in recommender systems. Recently, graph neural networks (GNNs) based model has gradually become the theme of knowledge-aware recommendation (KGR). However, there is a natural deficiency for GNN-based KGR models, that is, the sparse supervised signal problem, which may make their actual performance drop to some extent. Inspired by the recent success of contrastive learning in mining supervised signals from data itself, in this paper, we focus on exploring the contrastive learning in KG-aware recommendation and propose a novel multi-level cross-view contrastive learning mechanism, named MCCLK. Different from traditional contrastive learning methods which …

What Makes The Story Forward?: Inferring Commonsense Explanations As Prompts For Future Event Generation, Li Lin, Yixin Cao, Lifu Huang, Shu Ang Li, Xuming Hu, Lijie Wen, Jianmin Wang Jul 2022

What Makes The Story Forward?: Inferring Commonsense Explanations As Prompts For Future Event Generation, Li Lin, Yixin Cao, Lifu Huang, Shu Ang Li, Xuming Hu, Lijie Wen, Jianmin Wang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Prediction over event sequences is critical for many real-world applications in Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing. Future Event Generation (FEG) is a challenging task in event sequence prediction because it requires not only fluent text generation but also commonsense reasoning to maintain the logical coherence of the entire event story. In this paper, we propose a novel explainable FEG framework, Coep. It highlights and integrates two types of event knowledge, sequential knowledge of direct event-event relations and inferential knowledge that reflects the intermediate character psychology between events, such as intents, causes, reactions, which intrinsically pushes the story forward.

A3gan: Attribute-Aware Anonymization Networks For Face De-Identification, Liming Zhai, Qing Guo, Xiaofei Xie, Lei Ma, Yi Estelle Wang, Yang Liu Jul 2022

A3gan: Attribute-Aware Anonymization Networks For Face De-Identification, Liming Zhai, Qing Guo, Xiaofei Xie, Lei Ma, Yi Estelle Wang, Yang Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Face de-identification (De-ID) removes face identity information in face images to avoid personal privacy leakage. Existing face De-ID breaks the raw identity by cutting out the face regions and recovering the corrupted regions via deep generators, which inevitably affect the generation quality and cannot control generation results according to subsequent intelligent tasks (e.g., facial expression recognition). In this work, for the first attempt, we think the face De-ID from the perspective of attribute editing and propose an attribute-aware anonymization network (A3GAN) by formulating face De-ID as a joint task of semantic suppression and controllable attribute injection. Intuitively, the semantic suppression …

Towards Aligning Slides And Video Snippets: Mitigating Sequence And Content Mismatches, Ziyuan Liu, Hady W. Lauw

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Slides are important form of teaching materials used in various courses at academic institutions. Due to their compactness, slides on their own may not stand as complete reference materials. To aid students’ understanding, it would be useful to supplement slides with other materials such as online videos. Given a deck of slides and a related video, we seek to align each slide in the deck to a relevant video snippet, if any. While this problem could be formulated as aligning two time series (each involving a sequence of text contents), we anticipate challenges in generating matches arising from differences in …

Dynamic Topic Models For Temporal Document Networks, Ce Zhang, Hady Wirawan Lauw Jul 2022

Dynamic Topic Models For Temporal Document Networks, Ce Zhang, Hady Wirawan Lauw

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Dynamic topic models explore the time evolution of topics in temporally accumulative corpora. While existing topic models focus on the dynamics of individual documents, we propose two neural topic models aimed at learning unified topic distributions that incorporate both document dynamics and network structure. For the first model, by adding a time dimension, we propose Time-Aware Optimal Transport, which measures the probability of a link between two differently timestamped documents using their semantic distance. Since the gradually evolving topological structure of network may also influence the establishment of a new link, for the second model, we further design a Temporal …

Cosm2ic: Optimizing Real-Time Multi-Modal Instruction Comprehension, Weerakoon Mudiyanselage Dulanga Kaveesha Weerakoon, Vigneshwaran Subbaraju, Minh Anh Tuan Tran, Archan Misra

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Supporting real-time, on-device execution of multi-modal referring instruction comprehension models is an important challenge to be tackled in embodied Human-Robot Interaction. However, state-of-the-art deep learning models are resource-intensive and unsuitable for real-time execution on embedded devices. While model compression can achieve a reduction in computational resources up to a certain point, further optimizations result in a severe drop in accuracy. To minimize this loss in accuracy, we propose the COSM2IC framework, with a lightweight Task Complexity Predictor, that uses multiple sensor inputs to assess the instructional complexity and thereby dynamically switch between a set of models of varying computational intensity …

Test Mimicry To Assess The Exploitability Of Library Vulnerabilities, Hong Jin Kang, Truong Giang Nguyen, Bach Le, Corina S. Pasareanu, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Modern software engineering projects often depend on open-source software libraries, rendering them vulnerable to potential security issues in these libraries. Developers of client projects have to stay alert of security threats in the software dependencies. While there are existing tools that allow developers to assess if a library vulnerability is reachable from a project, they face limitations. Call graphonly approaches may produce false alarms as the client project may not use the vulnerable code in a way that triggers the vulnerability, while test generation-based approaches faces difficulties in overcoming the intrinsic complexity of exploiting a vulnerability, where extensive domain knowledge …

Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm Based On Rbf Network For Solving The Stochastic Vehicle Routing Problem, Yunyun Niu, Jie Shao, Jianhua Xiao, Wen Song, Zhiguang Cao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Solving the multi-objective vehicle routing problem with stochastic demand (MO-VRPSD) is challenging due to its non-deterministic property and conflicting objectives. Most multi -objective evolutionary algorithm dealing with this problem update current population without any guidance from previous searching experience. In this paper, a multi -objective evolutionary algorithm based on artificial neural networks is proposed to tackle the MO-VRPSD. Particularly, during the evolutionary process, a radial basis function net-work (RBFN) is exploited to learn the potential knowledge of individuals, generate hypoth-esis and instantiate hypothesis. The RBFN evaluates individuals with different scores and generates new individuals with higher quality while taking into …

Using Constraint Programming And Graph Representation Learning For Generating Interpretable Cloud Security Policies, Mikhail Kazdagli, Mohit Tiwari, Akshat Kumar Jul 2022

Using Constraint Programming And Graph Representation Learning For Generating Interpretable Cloud Security Policies, Mikhail Kazdagli, Mohit Tiwari, Akshat Kumar

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Modern software systems rely on mining insights from business sensitive data stored in public clouds. A data breach usually incurs signifcant (monetary) loss for a commercial organization. Conceptually, cloud security heavily relies on Identity Access Management (IAM) policies that IT admins need to properly confgure and periodically update. Security negligence and human errors often lead to misconfguring IAM policies which may open a backdoor for attackers. To address these challenges, frst, we develop a novel framework that encodes generating optimal IAM policies using constraint programming (CP). We identify reducing dormant permissions of cloud users as an optimality criterion, which intuitively …

A Recommendation System Approach To Tune A Qubo Solver, Siong Thye Goh, Jianyuan Bo, Matthieu Parizy, Hoong Chuin Lau

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

There are two major challenges to solving constrained optimization problems using a QuadraticUnconstrained Binary Optimization or QUBO solver (QS). First, we need to tune both the underlyingproblem parameters and the algorithm parameters. Second, the solution returned from a QSmight not be feasible. While it is common to use automated tuners such as SMAC and Hyperopt totune the algorithm parameters, the initial search ranges input for the auto tuner affect the performanceof the QS. In this paper, we propose a framework that resembles the Algorithm Selection(AS) framework to tune algorithm parameters for an annealing-based QS. To cope with constraints,we focus on …

Are You Really Muted?: A Privacy Analysis Of Mute Buttons In Video Conferencing Apps, Yucheng Yang, Jack West, George K. Thiruvathukal, Neil Klingensmith, Kassem Fawaz

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

In the post-pandemic era, video conferencing apps (VCAs) have converted previously private spaces — bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens — into semi-public extensions of the office. And for the most part, users have accepted these apps in their personal space, without much thought about the permission models that govern the use of their personal data during meetings. While access to a device’s video camera is carefully controlled, little has been done to ensure the same level of privacy for accessing the microphone. In this work, we ask the question: what happens to the microphone data when a user clicks the …

Irrelevant Pixels Are Everywhere: Find And Exclude Them For More Efficient Computer Vision, Caleb Tung, Abhinav Goel, Xiao Hu, Nick Eliopoulos, Emmanuel Amobi, George K. Thiruvathukal, Vipin Chaudhary, Yung-Hisang Lu

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Computer vision is often performed using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). CNNs are compute-intensive and challenging to deploy on power-constrained systems such as mobile and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. CNNs are compute-intensive because they indiscriminately compute many features on all pixels of the input image. We observe that, given a computer vision task, images often contain pixels that are irrelevant to the task. For example, if the task is looking for cars, pixels in the sky are not very useful. Therefore, we propose that a CNN be modified to only operate on relevant pixels to save computation and energy. We propose a …

Special Section: Reevaluating Markets For Information, Robert John Kauffman, Thomas A. Weber

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

As the use of information as a productive and tradeable asset becomes more pervasive, its—often unintended—side-effects start showing. This prompts us to systematically recognize these effects and, once identified, to think about how to use them to our advantage or else mitigate them as much as may be economically and/or socially desirable. In this Special Section, we have assembled three research papers, which take a look at different interesting instances of this question, namely in the context of regulating peer-to-peer sharing markets, the substitution of knowledge workers (or their skills) by artificial intelligence (AI), and the difficulties in appropriating rents …

Technological innovation creates numerous opportunities for businesses, organizations, and societies. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, and big data provide opportunities for developing self-controlling systems emulating human intelligence. In some instances, these systems surpass the performance of humans. The relationship of innovative technology with the law is an important underpinning factor that is often overlooked. Law may encourage innovation but may also inhibit its development and application by adopting stringent regulatory provisions and liability regimes. This article examines the legal and regulatory issues related to new technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, and big data.
