Revisiting The Identification Of The Co-Evolution Of Production And Test Code, Weifeng Sun, Meng Yan, Zhongxin Liu, Xin Xia, Yan Lei, David Lo Sep 2023

Revisiting The Identification Of The Co-Evolution Of Production And Test Code, Weifeng Sun, Meng Yan, Zhongxin Liu, Xin Xia, Yan Lei, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Many software processes advocate that the test code should co-evolve with the production code. Prior work usually studies such co-evolution based on production-test co-evolution samples mined from software repositories. A production-test co-evolution sample refers to a pair of a test code change and a production code change where the test code change triggers or is triggered by the production code change. The quality of the mined samples is critical to the reliability of research conclusions. Existing studies mined production-test co-evolution samples based on the following assumption: if a test class and its associated production class change together in one commit, …

Autodebloater: Automated Android App Debloating, Jiakun Liu, Xing Hu, Thung Ferdian, Shahar Maoz, Eran Toch, Debin Gao, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Android applications are getting bigger with an increasing number of features. However, not all the features are needed by a specific user. The unnecessary features can increase the attack surface and cost additional resources (e.g., storage and memory). Therefore, it is important to remove unnecessary features from Android applications. However, it is difficult for the end users to fully explore the apps to identify the unnecessary features, and there is no off-the-shelf tool available to assist users to debloat the apps by themselves. In this work, we propose AutoDebloater to debloat Android applications automatically for end users. AutoDebloater is a …

Real: A Representative Error-Driven Approach For Active Learning, Cheng Chen, Yong Wang, Lizi Liao, Yueguo Chen, Xiaoyong Du Sep 2023

Real: A Representative Error-Driven Approach For Active Learning, Cheng Chen, Yong Wang, Lizi Liao, Yueguo Chen, Xiaoyong Du

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Given a limited labeling budget, active learning (al) aims to sample the most informative instances from an unlabeled pool to acquire labels for subsequent model training. To achieve this, al typically measures the informativeness of unlabeled instances based on uncertainty and diversity. However, it does not consider erroneous instances with their neighborhood error density, which have great potential to improve the model performance. To address this limitation, we propose Real, a novel approach to select data instances with Representative Errors for Active Learning. It identifies minority predictions as pseudo errors within a cluster and allocates an adaptive sampling budget for …

Adavis: Adaptive And Explainable Visualization Recommendation For Tabular Data, Songheng Zhang, Yong Wang, Haotian Li, Huamin Qu Sep 2023

Adavis: Adaptive And Explainable Visualization Recommendation For Tabular Data, Songheng Zhang, Yong Wang, Haotian Li, Huamin Qu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Automated visualization recommendation facilitates the rapid creation of effective visualizations, which is especially beneficial for users with limited time and limited knowledge of data visualization. There is an increasing trend in leveraging machine learning (ML) techniques to achieve an end-to-end visualization recommendation. However, existing ML-based approaches implicitly assume that there is only one appropriate visualization for a specific dataset, which is often not true for real applications. Also, they often work like a black box, and are difficult for users to understand the reasons for recommending specific visualizations. To fill the research gap, we propose AdaVis, an adaptive and explainable …

The Power Of Identity Cues In Text-Based Customer Service: Evidence From Twitter, Yang Gao, Huaxia Rui, Shujing Sun Sep 2023

The Power Of Identity Cues In Text-Based Customer Service: Evidence From Twitter, Yang Gao, Huaxia Rui, Shujing Sun

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Text-based customer service is emerging as an important channel through which companies can assist customers. However, the use of few identity cues may cause customers to feel limited social presence and even suspect the human identity of agents, especially in the current age of advanced algorithms. Does such a lack of social presence affect service interactions? We studied this timely question by evaluating the impact of customers’ perceived social presence on service outcomes and customers’ attitudes toward agents. Our identification strategy hinged on Southwest Airlines’ sudden requirement to include a first name in response to service requests on Twitter, which …

Bayesian Optimization With Switching Cost: Regret Analysis And Lookahead Variants, Peng Liu, Haowei Wang, Wei Qiyu Aug 2023

Bayesian Optimization With Switching Cost: Regret Analysis And Lookahead Variants, Peng Liu, Haowei Wang, Wei Qiyu

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Bayesian Optimization (BO) has recently received increasing attention due to its efficiency in optimizing expensive-to-evaluate functions. For some practical problems, it is essential to consider the path-dependent switching cost between consecutive sampling locations given a total traveling budget. For example, when using a drone to locate cracks in a building wall or search for lost survivors in the wild, the search path needs to be efficiently planned given the limited battery power of the drone. Tackling such problems requires a careful cost-benefit analysis of candidate locations and balancing exploration and exploitation. In this work, we formulate such a problem as …

Learning To Send Reinforcements: Coordinating Multi-Agent Dynamic Police Patrol Dispatching And Rescheduling Via Reinforcement Learning, Waldy Joe, Hoong Chuin Lau Aug 2023

Learning To Send Reinforcements: Coordinating Multi-Agent Dynamic Police Patrol Dispatching And Rescheduling Via Reinforcement Learning, Waldy Joe, Hoong Chuin Lau

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We address the problem of coordinating multiple agents in a dynamic police patrol scheduling via a Reinforcement Learning (RL) approach. Our approach utilizes Multi-Agent Value Function Approximation (MAVFA) with a rescheduling heuristic to learn dispatching and rescheduling policies jointly. Often, police operations are divided into multiple sectors for more effective and efficient operations. In a dynamic setting, incidents occur throughout the day across different sectors, disrupting initially-planned patrol schedules. To maximize policing effectiveness, police agents from different sectors cooperate by sending reinforcements to support one another in their incident response and even routine patrol. This poses an interesting research challenge …

Document-Level Relation Extraction Via Separate Relation Representation And Logical Reasoning, Heyan Huang, Changsen Yuan, Qian Liu, Yixin Cao Aug 2023

Document-Level Relation Extraction Via Separate Relation Representation And Logical Reasoning, Heyan Huang, Changsen Yuan, Qian Liu, Yixin Cao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Document-level relation extraction (RE) extends the identification of entity/mentions’ relation from the single sentence to the long document. It is more realistic and poses new challenges to relation representation and reasoning skills. In this article, we propose a novel model, SRLR, using Separate Relation Representation and Logical Reasoning considering the indirect relation representation and complex reasoning of evidence sentence problems. Specifically, we first expand the judgment of relational facts from the entity-level to the mention-level, highlighting fine-grained information to capture the relation representation for the entity pair. Second, we propose a logical reasoning module to identify evidence sentences and conduct …

The Future Of Cryptocurrency And Blockchain Technology In Finance, Wanyi Wong, Alan @ Ali Madjelisi Megargel Aug 2023

The Future Of Cryptocurrency And Blockchain Technology In Finance, Wanyi Wong, Alan @ Ali Madjelisi Megargel

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Cryptocurrencies have been all the rage in recent years, with many being drawn to their appeal as speculative investment assets. Its proponents also champion the secure and decentralised nature of the technology it is based on, called the blockchain. Given the secure nature of blockchain technology, the idea of adopting cryptocurrencies as legal tender currency has also been mooted and experimented with – with the most famous example being the Central American nation of El Salvador’s bold move to adopting the cryptocurrency Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021. In theory, this would provide a solution to the high transaction …

Decoding The Underlying Meaning Of Multimodal Hateful Memes, Ming Shan Hee, Wen Haw Chong, Roy Ka-Wei Lee Aug 2023

Decoding The Underlying Meaning Of Multimodal Hateful Memes, Ming Shan Hee, Wen Haw Chong, Roy Ka-Wei Lee

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Recent studies have proposed models that yielded promising performance for the hateful meme classification task. Nevertheless, these proposed models do not generate interpretable explanations that uncover the underlying meaning and support the classification output. A major reason for the lack of explainable hateful meme methods is the absence of a hateful meme dataset that contains ground truth explanations for benchmarking or training. Intuitively, having such explanations can educate and assist content moderators in interpreting and removing flagged hateful memes. This paper address this research gap by introducing Hateful meme with Reasons Dataset (HatReD), which is a new multimodal hateful meme …

Generalization Through Diversity: Improving Unsupervised Environment Design, Wenjun Li, Pradeep Varakantham, Dexun Li Aug 2023

Generalization Through Diversity: Improving Unsupervised Environment Design, Wenjun Li, Pradeep Varakantham, Dexun Li

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Agent decision making using Reinforcement Learning (RL) heavily relies on either a model or simulator of the environment (e.g., moving in an 8x8 maze with three rooms, playing Chess on an 8x8 board). Due to this dependence, small changes in the environment (e.g., positions of obstacles in the maze, size of the board) can severely affect the effectiveness of the policy learned by the agent. To that end, existing work has proposed training RL agents on an adaptive curriculum of environments (generated automatically) to improve performance on out-of-distribution (OOD) test scenarios. Specifically, existing research has employed the potential for the …

Camper: An Effective Framework For Privacy-Aware Deep Entity Resolution, Yuxiang Guo, Lu Chen, Zhengjie Zhou, Baihua Zheng, Ziquan Fang, Zhikun Zhang, Yuren Mao, Yunjun Gao Aug 2023

Camper: An Effective Framework For Privacy-Aware Deep Entity Resolution, Yuxiang Guo, Lu Chen, Zhengjie Zhou, Baihua Zheng, Ziquan Fang, Zhikun Zhang, Yuren Mao, Yunjun Gao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Entity Resolution (ER) is a fundamental problem in data preparation. Standard deep ER methods have achieved state-of-the-art efectiveness, assuming that relations from diferent organizations are centrally stored. However, due to privacy concerns, it can be difcult to centralize data in practice, rendering standard deep ER solutions inapplicable. Despite eforts to develop rule-based privacy-preserving ER methods, they often neglect subtle matching mechanisms and have poor efectiveness as a result. To bridge efectiveness and privacy, in this paper, we propose CampER, an efective framework for privacy-aware deep entity resolution. Specifcally, we frst design a training pair self-generation strategy to overcome the absence …

Multi-View Graph Contrastive Learning For Solving Vehicle Routing Problems, Yuan Jiang, Zhiguang Cao, Yaoxin Wu, Jie Zhang Aug 2023

Multi-View Graph Contrastive Learning For Solving Vehicle Routing Problems, Yuan Jiang, Zhiguang Cao, Yaoxin Wu, Jie Zhang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Recently, neural heuristics based on deep learning have reported encouraging results for solving vehicle routing problems (VRPs), especially on independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) instances, e.g. uniform. However, in the presence of a distribution shift for the testing instances, their performance becomes considerably inferior. In this paper, we propose a multi-view graph contrastive learning (MVGCL) approach to enhance the generalization across different distributions, which exploits a graph pattern learner in a self-supervised fashion to facilitate a neural heuristic equipped with an active search scheme. Specifically, our MVGCL first leverages graph contrastive learning to extract transferable patterns from VRP graphs to …

Proxy Hunting: Understanding And Characterizing Proxy-Based Upgradeable Smart Contracts In Blockchains, William E Iii Bodell, Sajad Meisami, Yue Duan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Upgradeable smart contracts (USCs) have become a key trend in smart contract development, bringing flexibility to otherwise immutable code. However, they also introduce security concerns. On the one hand, they require extensive security knowledge to implement in a secure fashion. On the other hand, they provide new strategic weapons for malicious activities. Thus, it is crucial to fully understand them, especially their security implications in the real-world. To this end, we conduct a large-scale study to systematically reveal the status quo of USCs in the wild. To achieve our goal, we develop a complete USC taxonomy to comprehensively characterize the …

Context-Aware Event Forecasting Via Graph Disentanglement, Yunshan Ma, Chenchen Ye, Zijian Wu, Xiang Wang, Yixin Cao, Tat-Seng Chua Aug 2023

Context-Aware Event Forecasting Via Graph Disentanglement, Yunshan Ma, Chenchen Ye, Zijian Wu, Xiang Wang, Yixin Cao, Tat-Seng Chua

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Event forecasting has been a demanding and challenging task throughout the entire human history. It plays a pivotal role in crisis alarming and disaster prevention in various aspects of the whole society. The task of event forecasting aims to model the relational and temporal patterns based on historical events and makes forecasting to what will happen in the future. Most existing studies on event forecasting formulate it as a problem of link prediction on temporal event graphs. However, such pure structured formulation suffers from two main limitations: 1) most events fall into general and high-level types in the event ontology, …

Semantically Constitutive Entities In Knowledge Graphs, Chong Cher Chia, Maksim Tkachenko, Hady Wirawan Lauw Aug 2023

Semantically Constitutive Entities In Knowledge Graphs, Chong Cher Chia, Maksim Tkachenko, Hady Wirawan Lauw

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Knowledge graphs are repositories of facts about a world. In this work, we seek to distill the set of entities or nodes in a knowledge graph into a specified number of constitutive nodes, whose embeddings would be retained. Intuitively, the remaining accessory nodes could have their original embeddings “forgotten”, and yet reconstitutable from those of the retained constitutive nodes. The constitutive nodes thus represent the semantically constitutive entities, which retain the core semantics of the knowledge graph. We propose a formulation as well as algorithmic solutions to minimize the reconstitution errors. The derived constitutive nodes are validated empirically both in …

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The heterogeneous vehicle routing problem with time windows (HVRPTW) employs various vehicles with different capacities to serve upcoming pickup and delivery orders. We introduce a HVRPTW variant for reflecting the practical needs of crowd-shipping by considering the mass-rapid-transit stations, as the additional terminal points. A mixed integer linear programming model is formulated. An Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search based meta-heuristic is also developed by utilizing a basic probabilistic selection strategy, i.e. roulette wheel, and Simulated Annealing. The proposed approach is empirically evaluated on a new set of benchmark instances. The computational results revealed that ALNS shows its clear advantage on the …

Sparsity Brings Vulnerabilities: Exploring New Metrics In Backdoor Attacks, Jianwen Tian, Kefan Qiu, Debin Gao, Zhi Wang, Xiaohui Kuang, Gang Zhao Aug 2023

Sparsity Brings Vulnerabilities: Exploring New Metrics In Backdoor Attacks, Jianwen Tian, Kefan Qiu, Debin Gao, Zhi Wang, Xiaohui Kuang, Gang Zhao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Nowadays, using AI-based detectors to keep pace with the fast iterating of malware has attracted a great attention. However, most AI-based malware detectors use features with vast sparse subspaces to characterize applications, which brings significant vulnerabilities to the model. To exploit this sparsityrelated vulnerability, we propose a clean-label backdoor attack consisting of a dissimilarity metric-based candidate selection and a variation ratio-based trigger construction. The proposed backdoor is verified on different datasets, including a Windows PE dataset, an Android dataset with numerical and boolean feature values, and a PDF dataset. The experimental results show that the attack can slash the accuracy …

Balancing Utility And Fairness In Submodular Maximization, Yanhao Wang, Yuchen Li, Francesco Bonchi, Ying Wang Aug 2023

Balancing Utility And Fairness In Submodular Maximization, Yanhao Wang, Yuchen Li, Francesco Bonchi, Ying Wang

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Submodular function maximization is a fundamental combinatorial optimization problem with plenty of applications – including data summarization, influence maximization, and recommendation. In many of these problems, the goal is to find a solution that maximizes the average utility over all users, for each of whom the utility is defined by a monotone submodular function. However, when the population of users is composed of several demographic groups, another critical problem is whether the utility is fairly distributed across different groups. Although the utility and fairness objectives are both desirable, they might contradict each other, and, to the best of our knowledge, …

Multi-Granularity Detector For Vulnerability Fixes, Truong Giang Nguyen, Cong, Thanh Le, Hong Jin Kang, Ratnadira Widyasari, Chengran Yang, Zhipeng Zhao, Bowen Xu, Jiayuan Zhou, Xin Xia, Ahmed E. Hassan, David Lo, David Lo

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

With the increasing reliance on Open Source Software, users are exposed to third-party library vulnerabilities. Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools have been created to alert users of such vulnerabilities. SCA requires the identification of vulnerability-fixing commits. Prior works have proposed methods that can automatically identify such vulnerability-fixing commits. However, identifying such commits is highly challenging, as only a very small minority of commits are vulnerability fixing. Moreover, code changes can be noisy and difficult to analyze. We observe that noise can occur at different levels of detail, making it challenging to detect vulnerability fixes accurately. To address these challenges and …

Numgpt: Improving Numeracy Ability Of Generative Pre-Trained Models, Zhihua Jin, Xin Jiang, Xiangbo Wang, Qun Liu, Yong Wang, Xiaozhe Ren, Huamin Qu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Existing generative pre-trained language models (e.g., GPT) focus on modeling the language structure and semantics of general texts. However, those models do not consider the numerical properties of numbers and cannot perform robustly on numerical reasoning tasks (e.g., math word problems and measurement estimation). In this paper, we propose NumGPT, a generative pre-trained model that explicitly models the numerical properties of numbers in texts. Specifically, it leverages a prototype-based numeral embedding to encode the mantissa of the number and an individual embedding to encode the exponent of the number. A numeral-aware loss function is designed to integrate numerals into the …

A Certificateless Designated Verifier Sanitizable Signature, Yonghua Zhan, Bixia Yi, Yang Yang, Renjie He, Rui Shi Aug 2023

A Certificateless Designated Verifier Sanitizable Signature, Yonghua Zhan, Bixia Yi, Yang Yang, Renjie He, Rui Shi

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Sanitizable Signature is a digital signature variant that enables modification operations, allowing sanitizers to alter the signed data in a regulated manner without requiring any interaction with the original signer. It is widely used in scenarios such as healthcare data privacy protection, social networks, secure routing, etc. In existing sanitizable signature schemes, anyone can verify the validity and authenticity of the sanitized message, which results in costly certificate management overhead or complicated key escrow problems. To address these challenges, a designated verifier certificateless sanitizable signature scheme is proposed. This scheme introduces the concept of a designated verifier into sanitizable signatures, …

Evolve Path Tracer: Early Detection Of Malicious Addresses In Cryptocurrency, Ling Cheng, Feida Zhu, Yong Wang, Ruicheng Liang, Huiwen Liu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

With the boom of cryptocurrency and its concomitant financial risk concerns, detecting fraudulent behaviors and associated malicious addresses has been drawing significant research effort. Most existing studies, however, rely on the full history features or full-fledged address transaction networks, both of which are unavailable in the problem of early malicious address detection and therefore failing them for the task. To detect fraudulent behaviors of malicious addresses in the early stage, we present Evolve Path Tracer, which consists of Evolve Path Encoder LSTM, Evolve Path Graph GCN, and Hierarchical Survival Predictor. Specifically, in addition to the general address features, we propose …

Deep Weakly-Supervised Anomaly Detection, Guansong Pang, Chunhua Shen, Huidong Jin, Anton Van Den Hengel Aug 2023

Deep Weakly-Supervised Anomaly Detection, Guansong Pang, Chunhua Shen, Huidong Jin, Anton Van Den Hengel

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Recent semi-supervised anomaly detection methods that are trained using small labeled anomaly examples and large unlabeled data (mostly normal data) have shown largely improved performance over unsupervised methods. However, these methods often focus on fitting abnormalities illustrated by the given anomaly examples only (i.e., seen anomalies), and consequently they fail to generalize to those that are not, i.e., new types/classes of anomaly unseen during training. To detect both seen and unseen anomalies, we introduce a novel deep weakly-supervised approach, namely Pairwise Relation prediction Network (PReNet), that learns pairwise relation features and anomaly scores by predicting the relation of any two …

Single-View View Synthesis With Self-Rectified Pseudo-Stereo, Yang Zhou, Hanjie Wu, Wenxi Liu, Zheng Xiong, Jing Qin, Shengfeng He Aug 2023

Single-View View Synthesis With Self-Rectified Pseudo-Stereo, Yang Zhou, Hanjie Wu, Wenxi Liu, Zheng Xiong, Jing Qin, Shengfeng He

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Synthesizing novel views from a single view image is a highly ill-posed problem. We discover an effective solution to reduce the learning ambiguity by expanding the single-view view synthesis problem to a multi-view setting. Specifically, we leverage the reliable and explicit stereo prior to generate a pseudo-stereo viewpoint, which serves as an auxiliary input to construct the 3D space. In this way, the challenging novel view synthesis process is decoupled into two simpler problems of stereo synthesis and 3D reconstruction. In order to synthesize a structurally correct and detail-preserved stereo image, we propose a self-rectified stereo synthesis to amend erroneous …
