Ai Failures In The Eyes Of The Downstream Developer: A First Look At Concerns, Practices, And Challenges, Haoyu Gao, Mansooreh Zahedi, Wenxin Jiang, Hong Yi Lin, James C. Davis, Christoph Treude

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

With the advancement of AI models, more software systems are adopting AI as a component to facilitate automation. Pre-trained models (PTMs) have become a cornerstone of AI-based software, allowing for rapid integration and development with lower training cost. However, their adoption also introduces failure modes such as data leakage and biased outputs, that may require careful handling by downstream developers. While previous research has proposed taxonomies of these technical concerns and various mitigation strategies, how downstream developers address these issues during the development of general AI-based software when reusing PTMs remains unexplored. Understanding downstream developers’ perspectives is essential because they …

Logupdater: Automated Detection And Repair Of Specific Defects In Logging Statements, Renyi Zhong, Yichen Li, Jinxi Kuang, Wenwei Gu, Yintong Huo, Michael R. Lyu Jan 2027

Logupdater: Automated Detection And Repair Of Specific Defects In Logging Statements, Renyi Zhong, Yichen Li, Jinxi Kuang, Wenwei Gu, Yintong Huo, Michael R. Lyu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Developers write logging statements to monitor software runtime behaviors and system state. However, poorly constructed or misleading log messages can inadvertently obfuscate actual program execution patterns, thereby impeding effective software maintenance. Existing research on analyzing issues within logging statements is limited, primarily focusing on detecting a singular type of defect and relying on manual intervention for fixes rather than automated solutions.To address the limitation, we initiate a systematic study that pinpoints four specific types of defects in logging statements (i.e., statement code inconsistency, static dynamic inconsistency, temporal relation inconsistency, and readability issues) through the analysis of real-world log-centric changes. We …

A Web-Based Multi-Modal Ai Framework For Intelligent Content Moderation With Constructive Feedback, Marwah Zaid Mohammed Al-Helali, Naveen Palanichamy, Su-Cheng Haw, Subhashini Gopal Oct 2026

A Web-Based Multi-Modal Ai Framework For Intelligent Content Moderation With Constructive Feedback, Marwah Zaid Mohammed Al-Helali, Naveen Palanichamy, Su-Cheng Haw, Subhashini Gopal

Journal of Informatics and Web Engineering

Traditional content moderation systems primarily rely on strict measures that focus on removing offending or inappropriate content without offering users any form of educational feedback or guidance. This lack of constructive interaction often leads to a poor user experience, leaving users frustrated and uninformed regarding the reasons behind content removal. Moreover, such a system fails to encourage long-term positive behavioural changes within online communities, as users do not gain insights on how to improve their conduct. This paper proposes a new constructive Artificial Intelligence (AI) intervention system that integrates a number of AI models in order to conceptualize content moderation …

Are We Stuck? Modeling And Detecting Deadlocks In Multi-Autonomous Vehicle Systems, Mingfei Cheng, Xiaofei Xie, Lili Quan, Yuan Zhou

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Autonomous driving system (ADS) testing is essential to ensure the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles (AVs) prior to deployment. As ADSs are increasingly deployed in multi-AV traffic environments, it becomes crucial to assess their cooperative performance, particularly with respect to deadlock, a fundamental liveness issue in concurrent systems that can lead to traffic congestion and prolonged stalling. However, the analysis and testing of ADSs’ cooperative capabilities with respect to deadlock remain largely underexplored. In this work, we present the first systematic study of deadlock in multi-AV systems. We formalize deadlock in autonomous driving using a time-indexed wait-for relation grounded …

State-Aware Fuzzing Of Javascript Engines With Llm-Guided Instrumentation, Wai Kin Wong, Dongwei Xiao, Cheuk Tung Lai, Ping Fan Ke, Shuai Wang Oct 2026

State-Aware Fuzzing Of Javascript Engines With Llm-Guided Instrumentation, Wai Kin Wong, Dongwei Xiao, Cheuk Tung Lai, Ping Fan Ke, Shuai Wang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The security of the modern web depends on the correctness of JavaScript (JS) engines, yet these complex systems remain vulnerable to high-impact bugs. A critical limitation of state-of-the-art fuzzers is the coverage plateau: once a fuzzer saturates the control-flow graph, edge coverage loses its ability to guide discovery. Because complex engine behaviors, such as JIT optimization tiers and hidden class transitions, often share identical edge coverage, standard coverage metrics are blind to the distinct internal states required to trigger deep errors. To bridge this gap, we present StateLens, a framework that employs Large Language Models (LLM) to automate the discovery …
