The development of deep learning programs, as a new programming paradigm, is observed to suffer from various defects. Emerging research works have been proposed to detect, debug, and repair deep learning bugs, which drive the need to construct the bug benchmarks. In this work, we present gDefects4DL, a dataset for general bugs of deep learning programs. Comparing to existing datasets, gDefects4DL collects bugs where the root causes and fix solutions can be well generalized to other projects. Our general bugs include deep learning program bugs such as (1) violation of deep learning API usage pattern (e.g., the standard to implement …

Detecting False Alarms From Automatic Static Analysis Tools: How Far Are We?, Hong Jin Kang, Khai Loong Aw, David Lo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Automatic static analysis tools (ASATs), such as Findbugs, have a high false alarm rate. The large number of false alarms produced poses a barrier to adoption. Researchers have proposed the use of machine learning to prune false alarms and present only actionable warnings to developers. The state-of-the-art study has identified a set of “Golden Features” based on metrics computed over the characteristics and history of the file, code, and warning. Recent studies show that machine learning using these features is extremely effective and that they achieve almost perfect performance. We perform a detailed analysis to better understand the strong performance …

Practitioners' Expectations On Automated Code Comment Generation, Xing Hu, Xin Xia, David Lo, Zhiyuan Wan, Qiuyuan Chen, Thomas Zimmermann
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Good comments are invaluable assets to software projects, as they help developers understand and maintain projects. However, due to some poor commenting practices, comments are often missing or inconsistent with the source code. Software engineering practitioners often spend a significant amount of time and effort reading and understanding programs without or with poor comments. To counter this, researchers have proposed various techniques to automatically generate code comments in recent years, which can not only save developers time writing comments but also help them better understand existing software projects. However, it is unclear whether these techniques can alleviate comment issues and …

Causality-Based Neural Network Repair, Bing Sun, Jun Sun, Long H. Pham, Jie Shi
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Neural networks have had discernible achievements in a wide range of applications. The wide-spread adoption also raises the concern of their dependability and reliability. Similar to traditional decision-making programs, neural networks can have defects that need to be repaired. The defects may cause unsafe behaviors, raise security concerns or unjust societal impacts. In this work, we address the problem of repairing a neural network for desirable properties such as fairness and the absence of backdoor. The goal is to construct a neural network that satisfies the property by (minimally) adjusting the given neural network's parameters (i.e., weights). Specifically, we propose …

Uipdroid: Unrooted Dynamic Monitor Of Android App Uis For Fine-Grained Permission Control, Mulin Duan, Lingxiao Jiang, Lwin Khin Shar, Debin Gao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Proper permission controls in Android systems are important for protecting users' private data when running applications installed on the devices. Currently Android systems require apps to obtain authorization from users at the first time when they try to access users' sensitive data, but every permission is only managed at the application level, allowing apps to (mis)use permissions granted by users at the beginning for different purposes subsequently without informing users. Based on privacy-by-design principles, this paper develops a new permission manager, named UIPDroid, that (1) enforces the users' basic right-to-know through user interfaces whenever an app uses permissions, and (2) …

Topic-Guided Conversational Recommender In Multiple Domains, Lizi Liao, Ryuichi Takanobu, Yunshan Ma, Xun Yang, Minlie Huang, Tat-Seng Chua
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Conversational systems have recently attracted significant attention. Both the research community and industry believe that it will exert huge impact on human-computer interaction, and specifically, the IR/RecSys community has begun to explore Conversational Recommendation. In real-life scenarios, such systems are often urgently needed in helping users accomplishing different tasks under various situations. However, existing works still face several shortcomings: (1) Most efforts are largely confined in single task setting. They fall short of hands in handling tasks across domains. (2) Aside from soliciting user preference from dialogue history, a conversational recommender naturally has access to the back-end data structure which …

Automated Identification Of Libraries From Vulnerability Data: Can We Do Better?, Stefanus A. Haryono, Hong Jin Kang, Abhishek Sharma, Asankhaya Sharma, Andrew E. Santosa, Ming Yi Ang, David Lo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Software engineers depend heavily on software libraries and have to update their dependencies once vulnerabilities are found in them. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) helps developers identify vulnerable libraries used by an application. A key challenge is the identification of libraries related to a given reported vulnerability in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), which may not explicitly indicate the affected libraries. Recently, researchers have tried to address the problem of identifying the libraries from an NVD report by treating it as an extreme multi-label learning (XML) problem, characterized by its large number of possible labels and severe data sparsity. As input, …
Supervised Representation Learning For Improving Prediction Performance In Medical Decision Support Applications, Phawis Thammasorn
Supervised Representation Learning For Improving Prediction Performance In Medical Decision Support Applications, Phawis Thammasorn
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Machine learning approaches for prediction play an integral role in modern-day decision supports system. An integral part of the process is extracting interest variables or features to describe the input data. Then, the variables are utilized for training machine-learning algorithms to map from the variables to the target output. After the training, the model is validated with either validation or testing data before making predictions with a new dataset. Despite the straightforward workflow, the process relies heavily on good feature representation of data. Engineering suitable representation eases the subsequent actions and copes with many practical issues that potentially prevent the …

Who Will Support My Project? Interactive Search Of Potential Crowdfunding Investors Through Insearch., Songheng Zhang, Yong Wang, Haotian Li, Wanyu Zhang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Crowdfunding provides project founders with a convenient way to reach online investors. However, it is challenging for founders to find the most potential investors and successfully raise money for their projects on crowdfunding platforms. A few machine learning based methods have been proposed to recommend investors’ interest in a specific crowdfunding project, but they fail to provide project founders with explanations in detail for these recommendations, thereby leading to an erosion of trust in predicted investors. To help crowdfunding founders find truly interested investors, we conducted semi-structured interviews with four crowdfunding experts and presentsinSearch, a visual analytic system. inSearch allows …
Static Inference Meets Deep Learning: A Hybrid Type Inference Approach For Python, Yun Peng, Cuiyun Gao, Zongjie Li, Bowei Gao, David Lo, Qirun Zhang, Michael R. Lyu
Static Inference Meets Deep Learning: A Hybrid Type Inference Approach For Python, Yun Peng, Cuiyun Gao, Zongjie Li, Bowei Gao, David Lo, Qirun Zhang, Michael R. Lyu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Type inference for dynamic programming languages such as Python is an important yet challenging task. Static type inference techniques can precisely infer variables with enough static constraints but are unable to handle variables with dynamic features. Deep learning (DL) based approaches are feature-agnostic, but they cannot guarantee the correctness of the predicted types. Their performance significantly depends on the quality of the training data (i.e., DL models perform poorly on some common types that rarely appear in the training dataset). It is interesting to note that the static and DL-based approaches offer complementary benefits. Unfortunately, to our knowledge, precise type …
Learning Transferable Perturbations For Image Captioning, Hanjie Wu, Yongtuo Liu, Hongmin Cai, Shengfeng He
Learning Transferable Perturbations For Image Captioning, Hanjie Wu, Yongtuo Liu, Hongmin Cai, Shengfeng He
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Present studies have discovered that state-of-the-art deep learning models can be attacked by small but well-designed perturbations. Existing attack algorithms for the image captioning task is time-consuming, and their generated adversarial examples cannot transfer well to other models. To generate adversarial examples faster and stronger, we propose to learn the perturbations by a generative model that is governed by three novel loss functions. Image feature distortion loss is designed to maximize the encoded image feature distance between original images and the corresponding adversarial examples at the image domain, and local-global mismatching loss is introduced to separate the mapping encoding representation …
Unified Route Planning For Shared Mobility: An Insertion-Based Framework, Yongxin Tong, Yuxiang Zeng, Zimu Zhou, Lei Chen, Ke. Xu
Unified Route Planning For Shared Mobility: An Insertion-Based Framework, Yongxin Tong, Yuxiang Zeng, Zimu Zhou, Lei Chen, Ke. Xu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
There has been a dramatic growth of shared mobility applications such as ride-sharing, food delivery, and crowdsourced parcel delivery. Shared mobility refers to transportation services that are shared among users, where a central issue is route planning. Given a set of workers and requests, route planning finds for each worker a route, i.e., a sequence of locations to pick up and drop off passengers/parcels that arrive from time to time, with different optimization objectives. Previous studies lack practicability due to their conflicted objectives and inefficiency in inserting a new request into a route, a basic operation called insertion. In addition, …
Learning Semantically Rich Network-Based Multi-Modal Mobile User Interface Embeddings, Meng Kiat Gary Ang, Ee-Peng Lim
Learning Semantically Rich Network-Based Multi-Modal Mobile User Interface Embeddings, Meng Kiat Gary Ang, Ee-Peng Lim
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Semantically rich information from multiple modalities - text, code, images, categorical and numerical data - co-exist in the user interface (UI) design of mobile applications. Moreover, each UI design is composed of inter-linked UI entities which support different functions of an application, e.g., a UI screen comprising a UI taskbar, a menu and multiple button elements. Existing UI representation learning methods unfortunately are not designed to capture multi-modal and linkage structure between UI entities. To support effective search and recommendation applications over mobile UIs, we need UI representations that integrate latent semantics present in both multi-modal information and linkages between …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Events are fundamental building blocks of realworld happenings. In this paper, we present a large-scale, multi-modal event knowledge graph named MMEKG. MMEKG unifies different modalities of knowledge via events, which complement and disambiguate each other. Specifically, MMEKG incorporates (i) over 990 thousand concept events with 644 relation types to cover most types of happenings, and (ii) over 863 million instance events connected through 934 million relations, which provide rich contextual information in texts and/or images. To collect billion-scale instance events and relations among them, we additionally develop an efficient yet effective pipeline for textual/visual knowledge extraction system. We also develop …

Prompt For Extraction? Paie: Prompting Argument Interaction For Event Argument Extraction, Yubo Ma, Zehao Wang, Yixin Cao, Mukai Li, Meiqi Chen, Kun Wang, Jing Shao
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
In this paper, we propose an effective yet efficient model PAIE for both sentence-level and document-level Event Argument Extraction (EAE), which also generalizes well when there is a lack of training data. On the one hand, PAIE utilizes prompt tuning for extractive objectives to take the best advantages of Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs). It introduces two span selectors based on the prompt to select start/end tokens among input texts for each role. On the other hand, it captures argument interactions via multi-role prompts and conducts joint optimization with optimal span assignments via a bipartite matching loss. Also, with a flexible …

Translate-Train Embracing Translationese Artifacts, Sicheng Yu, Qianru Sun, Hao Zhang, Jing Jiang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Translate-train is a general training approach to multilingual tasks. The key idea is to use the translator of the target language to generate training data to mitigate the gap between the source and target languages. However, its performance is often hampered by the artifacts in the translated texts (translationese). We discover that such artifacts have common patterns in different languages and can be modeled by deep learning, and subsequently propose an approach to conduct translate-train using Translationese Embracing the effect of Artifacts (TEA). TEA learns to mitigate such effect on the training data of a source language (whose original and …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The transfer of power stemming from the 2020 presidential election occurred during an unprecedented period in United States history. Uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic, ongoing societal tensions, and a fragile economy increased societal polarization, exacerbated by the outgoing president's offline rhetoric. As a result, online groups such as QAnon engaged in extra political participation beyond the traditional platforms. This research explores the link between offline political speech and online extra-representational participation by examining Twitter within the context of the January 6 insurrection. Using a mixed-methods approach of quantitative and qualitative thematic analyses, the study combines offline speech information with Twitter …

Unified And Incremental Simrank: Index-Free Approximation With Scheduled Principle (Extended Abstract), Fanwei Zhu, Yuan Fang, Kai Zhang, Kevin Chen-Chuan Chang, Hongtai Cao, Zhen Jiang, Minghui Wu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
SimRank is a popular link-based similarity measure on graphs. It enables a variety of applications with different modes of querying. In this paper, we propose UISim, a unified and incremental framework for all SimRank modes based on a scheduled approximation principle. UISim processes queries with incremental and prioritized exploration of the entire computation space, and thus allows flexible tradeoff of time and accuracy. On the other hand, it creates and shares common “building blocks” for online computation without relying on indexes, and thus is efficient to handle both static and dynamic graphs. Our experiments on various real-world graphs show that …
Context Modeling With Evidence Filter For Multiple Choice Question Answering, Sicheng Yu, Hao Zhang, Wei Jing, Jing Jiang
Context Modeling With Evidence Filter For Multiple Choice Question Answering, Sicheng Yu, Hao Zhang, Wei Jing, Jing Jiang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Multiple-Choice Question Answering (MCQA) is one of the challenging tasks in machine reading comprehension. The main challenge in MCQA is to extract "evidence" from the given context that supports the correct answer. In OpenbookQA dataset [1], the requirement of extracting "evidence" is particularly important due to the mutual independence of sentences in the context. Existing work tackles this problem by annotated evidence or distant supervision with rules which overly rely on human efforts. To address the challenge, we propose a simple yet effective approach termed evidence filtering to model the relationships between the encoded contexts with respect to different options …

Structure-Aware Visualization Retrieval, Haotian Li, Yong Wang, Aoyu Wu, Huan Wei, Huamin. Qu
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
With the wide usage of data visualizations, a huge number of Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG)-based visualizations have been created and shared online. Accordingly, there has been an increasing interest in exploring how to retrieve perceptually similar visualizations from a large corpus, since it can benefit various downstream applications such as visualization recommendation. Existing methods mainly focus on the visual appearance of visualizations by regarding them as bitmap images. However, the structural information intrinsically existing in SVG-based visualizations is ignored. Such structural information can delineate the spatial and hierarchical relationship among visual elements, and characterize visualizations thoroughly from a new perspective. …
Arseek: Identifying Api Resource Using Code And Discussion On Stack Overflow, Gia Kien Luong, Mohammad Hadi, Thung Ferdian, Fatemeh H. Fard, David Lo
Arseek: Identifying Api Resource Using Code And Discussion On Stack Overflow, Gia Kien Luong, Mohammad Hadi, Thung Ferdian, Fatemeh H. Fard, David Lo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
It is not a trivial problem to collect API-relevant examples, usages, and mentions on venues such as Stack Overflow. It requires efforts to correctly recognize whether the discussion refers to the API method that developers/tools are searching for. The content of the Stack Overflow thread, which consists of both text paragraphs describing the involvement of the API method in the discussion and the code snippets containing the API invocation, may refer to the given API method. Leveraging this observation, we develop ARSeek, a context-specific algorithm to capture the semantic and syntactic information of the paragraphs and code snippets in a …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Many recent models in software engineering introduced deep neural models based on the Transformer architecture or use transformerbased Pre-trained Language Models (PLM) trained on code. Although these models achieve the state of the arts results in many downstream tasks such as code summarization and bug detection, they are based on Transformer and PLM, which are mainly studied in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) field. The current studies rely on the reasoning and practices from NLP for these models in code, despite the differences between natural languages and programming languages. There is also limited literature on explaining how code is modeled. …

Arsearch: Searching For Api Related Resources From Stack Overflow And Github, Kien Luong, Ferdian Thung, David Lo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Stack Overflow and GitHub are two popular platforms containing API-related resources for developers to learn how to use APIs. The platforms are good sources for information about API such as code examples, usages, sentiment, bug reports, etc. However, it is difficult to collect the correct resources regarding a particular API due to the ambiguity of an API method name. An API method name mentioned in the text would only refer to one API, but the method name could match with different APIs. To help people in finding the correct resources for a particular API, we introduce ARSearch. ARSearch finds Stack …

Data Pricing In Machine Learning Pipelines, Zicun Cong, Xuan Luo, Jian Pei, Feida Zhu, Yong Zhang
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
Machine learning is disruptive. At the same time, machine learning can only succeed by collaboration among many parties in multiple steps naturally as pipelines in an eco-system, such as collecting data for possible machine learning applications, collaboratively training models by multiple parties and delivering machine learning services to end users. Data are critical and penetrating in the whole machine learning pipelines. As machine learning pipelines involve many parties and, in order to be successful, have to form a constructive and dynamic eco-system, marketplaces and data pricing are fundamental in connecting and facilitating those many parties. In this article, we survey …

Optimal In‐Place Suffix Sorting, Zhize Li, Jian Li, Hongwei Huo
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The suffix array is a fundamental data structure for many applications that involve string searching and data compression. Designing time/space-efficient suffix array construction algorithms has attracted significant attention and considerable advances have been made for the past 20 years. We obtain the \emph{first} in-place suffix array construction algorithms that are optimal both in time and space for (read-only) integer alphabets. Concretely, we make the following contributions: 1. For integer alphabets, we obtain the first suffix sorting algorithm which takes linear time and uses only $O(1)$ workspace (the workspace is the total space needed beyond the input string and the output …

Performance Comparison Of The Filesystem And Embedded Key-Value Databases, Jesse Hines, Nicholas Cunningham
Performance Comparison Of The Filesystem And Embedded Key-Value Databases, Jesse Hines, Nicholas Cunningham
Campus Research Month
A common scenario when developing local applications is storing many records and then retrieving them by ID. A developer can simply save the records as files or use an embedded database. Large numbers of files can slow down filesystems, but developers may want to avoid a dependency on an embedded database if it offers little benefit for their use case. We will compare the performance for the insert, update, get and delete operations and the space efficiency of storing records as files vs. using key-value embedded databases including RocksDB, LevelDB, Berkley DB, and SQLite.

Database Query Execution Through Virtual Reality, Logan Bateman, Marc Butler
Campus Research Month
Building database queries often requires technical knowledge of a query language. However, company employees, such as executives, managers, and others (outside of software research and development, generally) may not have the pre-required knowledge to accurately construct and execute database queries. This paper proposes an approach to constructing database queries using virtual reality. This approach utilizes natural hand or controller gestures which map to various components of building and visualizing database queries.

Realtime Visualization Of Kafka Architectures, Matthew Jensen, Miro Manestar
Campus Research Month
Apache Kafka specializes in the transfer of incredibly large amounts of data in real-time between devices. However, it can be difficult to comprehend the inner workings of Kafka. Often, to get real-time data, a user must run complicated commands from within the Kafka CLI. Our contribution is a tool that monitors Kafka consumers, producers, and topics, and displays the flow of events between them in a web-based dashboard. This dashboard serves to reduce the complexity of Kafka and enables users unfamiliar with the platform and protocol to better understand how their architecture is configured.
