Robustness And Cross-Lingual Transfer: An Exploration Of Out-Of-Distribution Scenario In Natural Language Processing, YU, SICHENG 2022 Singapore Management University

Robustness And Cross-Lingual Transfer: An Exploration Of Out-Of-Distribution Scenario In Natural Language Processing, Yu, Sicheng

Dissertations and Theses Collection (Open Access)

Most traditional machine learning or deep learning methods are based on the premise that training data and test data are independent and identical distributed, i.e., IID. However, it is just an ideal situation. In real-world applications, test set and training data often follow different distributions, which we refer to as the out of distribution, i.e., OOD, setting. As a result, models trained with traditional methods always suffer from an undesirable performance drop on the OOD test set. It's necessary to develop techniques to solve this problem for real applications. In this dissertation, we present four pieces of work in the …


Exploiting Reuse For Gpu Subgraph Enumeration, Wentiao GUO, Yuchen LI, Kian-Lee TAN 2022 National University of Singapore

Exploiting Reuse For Gpu Subgraph Enumeration, Wentiao Guo, Yuchen Li, Kian-Lee Tan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Subgraph enumeration is important for many applications such as network motif discovery, community detection, and frequent subgraph mining. To accelerate the execution, recent works utilize graphics processing units (GPUs) to parallelize subgraph enumeration. The performances of these parallel schemes are dominated by the set intersection operations which account for up to $95\%$ of the total processing time. (Un)surprisingly, a significant portion (as high as $99\%$) of these operations is actually redundant, i.e., the same set of vertices is repeatedly encountered and evaluated. Therefore, in this paper, we seek to salvage and recycle the results of such operations to avoid repeated …


Toward Intention Discovery For Early Malice Detection In Bitcoin, Ling CHENG, Feida ZHU, Yong WANG, Huiwen LIU 2022 Singapore Management University

Toward Intention Discovery For Early Malice Detection In Bitcoin, Ling Cheng, Feida Zhu, Yong Wang, Huiwen Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Bitcoin has been subject to illicit activities more often than probably any other financial assets, due to the pseudo-anonymous nature of its transacting entities. An ideal detection model is expected to achieve all the three properties of (I) early detection, (II) good interpretability, and (III) versatility for various illicit activities. However, existing solutions cannot meet all these requirements, as most of them heavily rely on deep learning without satisfying interpretability and are only available for retrospective analysis of a specific illicit type.First, we present asset transfer paths, which aim to describe addresses' early characteristics. Next, with a decision tree based …


Secure Deterministic Wallet And Stealth Address: Key-Insulated And Privacy-Preserving Signature Scheme With Publicly Derived Public Key, Zhen LIU, Guomin YANG, Duncan S. WONG, Khoa NGUYEN, Huaxiong WANG, Xiaorong KE, Yining LIU 2022 Singapore Management University

Secure Deterministic Wallet And Stealth Address: Key-Insulated And Privacy-Preserving Signature Scheme With Publicly Derived Public Key, Zhen Liu, Guomin Yang, Duncan S. Wong, Khoa Nguyen, Huaxiong Wang, Xiaorong Ke, Yining Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Deterministic Wallet (DW) and Stealth Address (SA) mechanisms have been widely adopted in the cryptocurrency community, due to their virtues on functionality and privacy protection, which come from a key derivation mechanism that allows an arbitrary number of derived keys to be generated from a master key. However, these algorithms suffer a vulnerability that, when one derived key is compromised somehow, the damage is not limited to the leaked derived key only, but to the master key and in consequence all derived keys are compromised. In this article, we introduce and formalize a new signature variant, called Key-Insulated and Privacy-Preserving …


Deep Learning-Based Text Recognition Of Agricultural Regulatory Document, Hua Leong FWA, Farn Haur CHAN 2022 Singapore Management University

Deep Learning-Based Text Recognition Of Agricultural Regulatory Document, Hua Leong Fwa, Farn Haur Chan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

In this study, an OCR system based on deep learning techniques was deployed to digitize scanned agricultural regulatory documents comprising of certificates and labels. Recognition of the certificates and labels is challenging as they are scanned images of the hard copy form and the layout and size of the text as well as the languages vary between the various countries (due to diverse regulatory requirements). We evaluated and compared between various state-of-the-art deep learningbased text detection and recognition model as well as a packaged OCR library – Tesseract. We then adopted a two-stage approach comprising of text detection using Character …


Eeg-Video Emotion-Based Summarization: Learning With Eeg Auxiliary Signals, Wai-Cheong L. LEW, Di WANG, Kai Keng ANG, Joo-Hwee LIM, Chai QUEK, Ah-hwee TAN 2022 Nanyang Technological University

Eeg-Video Emotion-Based Summarization: Learning With Eeg Auxiliary Signals, Wai-Cheong L. Lew, Di Wang, Kai Keng Ang, Joo-Hwee Lim, Chai Quek, Ah-Hwee Tan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Video summarization is the process of selecting a subset of informative keyframes to expedite storytelling with limited loss of information. In this paper, we propose an EEG-Video Emotion-based Summarization (EVES) model based on a multimodal deep reinforcement learning (DRL) architecture that leverages neural signals to learn visual interestingness to produce quantitatively and qualitatively better video summaries. As such, EVES does not learn from the expensive human annotations but the multimodal signals. Furthermore, to ensure the temporal alignment and minimize the modality gap between the visual and EEG modalities, we introduce a Time Synchronization Module (TSM) that uses an attention mechanism …


Performance Evaluation Of Aggregation-Based Group Recommender Systems For Ephemeral Groups, Edgar CEH-VARELA, Huiping CAO, Hady Wirawan LAUW 2022 Singapore Management University

Performance Evaluation Of Aggregation-Based Group Recommender Systems For Ephemeral Groups, Edgar Ceh-Varela, Huiping Cao, Hady Wirawan Lauw

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Recommender Systems (RecSys) provide suggestions in many decision-making processes. Given that groups of people can perform many real-world activities (e.g., a group of people attending a conference looking for a place to dine), the need for recommendations for groups has increased. A wide range of Group Recommender Systems (GRecSys) has been developed to aggregate individual preferences to group preferences. We analyze 175 studies related to GRecSys. Previous works evaluate their systems using different types of groups (sizes and cohesiveness), and most of such works focus on testing their systems using only one type of item, called Experience Goods (EG). As …


Does Social Media Accelerate Product Recalls? Evidence From The Pharmaceutical Industry, Yang GAO, Wenjing DUAN, Huaxia RUI 2022 Singapore Management University

Does Social Media Accelerate Product Recalls? Evidence From The Pharmaceutical Industry, Yang Gao, Wenjing Duan, Huaxia Rui

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Social media has become a vital platform for voicing product-related experiences that may not only reveal product defects but also impose pressure on firms to act more promptly than before. This study scrutinizes the rarely-studied relationship between these voices and the speed of product recalls in the context of the pharmaceutical industry where social media pharmacovigilance is becoming increasingly important for the detection of drug safety signals. Using Federal Drug Administration (FDA) drug enforcement reports and social media data crawled from online forums and Twitter, we investigate whether social media can accelerate the product recall process in the context of …

Towards A Conceptual Model For Developing A Career Prediction System For Students’ Subject Selection At Secondary School Level, Moses Kamondo Tuhame, Gilbert Maiga, Annabella Habinka, Barbara Kayondo 2022 Makerere University

Towards A Conceptual Model For Developing A Career Prediction System For Students’ Subject Selection At Secondary School Level, Moses Kamondo Tuhame, Gilbert Maiga, Annabella Habinka, Barbara Kayondo

African Conference on Information Systems and Technology

Career choice prediction has been a complex phenomenon both in developed and developing countries. Though various theories that describe career prediction have emerged, their practical implementation in the form of a system has been hampered by the shortfalls that come along with each of them. However, there is no existing theoretically based holistic model that merges various theories that can inform the development of such a system in the developing world context. This paper, therefore, aims at proposing a holistic conceptual model that integrates a number of variables to inform the development of a career prediction system in the developing …

We develop and apply a deep learning-based computer vision pipeline to automatically identify crew members in archival photographic imagery taken on-board the International Space Station. Our approach is able to quickly tag thousands of images from public and private photo repositories without human supervision with high degrees of accuracy, including photographs where crew faces are partially obscured. Using the results of our pipeline, we carry out a large-scale network analysis of the crew, using the imagery data to provide novel insights into the social interactions among crew during their missions.
