Tommie Goh Visiting Professorship in Entrepreneurship and Business Public Lecture

Area Administration Retailers frequently offer customers the opportunity to customize in addition to buying ready-made products. Although prior research shows that customization can increase product evaluations, purchase intent, and willingness to pay, customers often do not opt into customization. Using a multi-method approach, we resolve this discrepancy by demonstrating that the Customization Journey is dynamic rather than static: an initial customization experience has a lasting impact on the customer journey. Nine years of transaction data from a retailer shows that customers who customize at least one product are more likely to customize again with the retailer; they also spend more, visit more often and buy more items. By randomly assigning some consumers to customize and others to choose among a matched set of products in a series of longitudinal experimental studies, we disentangle the effects of the customer’s inherent preference for customizing from their experience with customization. We find that an initial experien… Subtitle: Customization and the Customer Journey.

Operations Management Research Seminar

Area Administration The explosion in availability of data has enabled organizations to collect wealth of information for their business operations. In this talk, I will share my experience in using a data-driven approach for improving Operations decisions from two settings: Healthcare and Aviation. I will highlight the opportunities and challenges in a data driven research approach for operational decision making. In the first half of the talk, I will discuss the challenge of improving the efficiency of surgical procedures which account for approximately 60% of the operating cost of a hospital the United States. Hospitals spend several million dollars annually on instrument sterilization, instrument tray assembly, and instrument repurchase costs. However, in a large majority of hospitals, less than 20%–30% of reusable instruments supplied to a surgery are used on average.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) transmit monetary policy less directly than often assumed. Exploiting variation in ARM rate reset timing in Portugal---where over 90% of mortgages are indexed to Euribor---during the ECB’s 2022–2023 tightening, we show sizable household responses. After resets, renegotiations rise by 9 percentage points, transfers to new banks by 4, partial prepayments by 5, and full prepayments by 2. Transfers and renegotiations reduce spreads by 37–72 basis points, offsetting about one-fifth of the first-year payment increase implied by policy rates. Responses are concentrated immediately after resets, consistent with selective inattention, and are stronger among younger, more educated, and high-balance borrowers. Supply-side conditions amplify these effects: bank competition intensifies when interest rates are higher, with households at more flexible banks or in areas with greater broker presence switching and prepaying more. Our findings highlight that even in ARM-dominated mortgage market… Subtitle: Interest Rate Pass-Through With Adjustable Rate Mortgages.

Collaborative Freight Forwarding: A Game-Theoretic Perspective

School of Computing and Information Systems Freight forwarders act as intermediaries between shippers and carriers, purchasing capacity in advance and reselling it to shippers. By consolidating shipments, they profit from economies of scale but face the challenge that capacity must be procured months ahead while shipper demand remains uncertain. This often leads to over- or under-procurement, eroding profitability. Collaborative capacity sharing offers a solution to better align capacity with demand, but equitably allocating costs among partners remains complex. This dissertation employs game-theoretic approaches to design fair and stable cost-sharing mechanisms that incentivize cooperation. First, we formulate the Freight Forwarder Collaboration Problem (FFCP), an integer linear program that minimizes total shipping costs under collaboration. A two-step approach combining greedy heuristics and bounded optimization achieves optimal solutions while reducing computation time by up to 81%, enabling practical scalability. Second, in the static setting, wh… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Defense by TAN Pang Jin. Contact: scisseminars@smu.edu.sg.

Exploring research impact beyond traditional metrics: Open Syllabus on education

Library In 2024, the Financial Times created a one-off ranking of business schools that went beyond traditional citation counts, focusing instead on "rigour, resonance and relevance." To do this, they drew from platforms like Overton, Open Syllabus, Scite, and OpenAlex—alternatives to conventional sources like Web of Science or Scopus. What do these alternative platforms measure, and how do they work? Dr. Karaganis will introduce Open Syllabus, a global non-profit archive that collects syllabi from thousands of colleges and universities, maps the curriculum, and builds tools to make that data useful to students and educators. Karaganis will talk about Open Syllabus's role in developing teaching-based altmetrics for faculty, tools for curricular design, and resources to support student mobility. Discover what Open Syllabus offers and consider how it might complement traditional approaches to understanding research influence. Speaker Details: Joe Karaganis is the Director of Open Syllabus, a nonprofit curricular archive devoted to mapping the main activity of higher education: teaching.

No Experts, No Problem: Avoidance Learning from Bad Demonstrations

School of Computing and Information Systems This paper addresses the problem of learning avoidance behavior within the context of offline imitation learning. In contrast to conventional methodologies that prioritize the replication of expert or near-expert demonstrations, our work investigates a setting where expert (or desirable) data is absent, and the objective is to learn to eschew undesirable actions by leveraging demonstrations of such behavior (i.e. learning from negative examples). To address this challenge, we propose a novel training objective grounded in the maximum entropy principle. We further characterize the fundamental properties of this objective function, reformulating the learning process as a cooperative inverse Q-learning task. Moreover, we introduce an efficient strategy for the integration of unlabeled data (i.e. data of indeterminate quality) to facilitate unbiased and practical offline training. The efficacy of our method is evaluated across standard benchmark environments, where it consistently outperforms state-of-the-art b… Subtitle: Pre-Conference Talk by HOANG Minh Huy.

Defects4C: Benchmarking Large Language Model Repair Capability with C/C++ Bugs

School of Computing and Information Systems Automated Program Repair (APR) has achieved remarkable progress in Java, yet research on C/C++ repair remains limited due to the lack of suitable benchmarks. To bridge this gap, we present Defects4C, a comprehensive benchmark for C/C++ program repair built from real-world repositories. Defects4C provides millions of bug-related commits and hundreds of curated buggy and vulnerable functions with executable test cases, enabling systematic evaluation and model retraining. Leveraging this dataset, we evaluate 24 state-of-the-art foundation language models on C/C++ repair tasks, revealing key strengths, weaknesses, and future directions for LLM-based APR in various programming languages.

Symbolic Execution Engine For Dynamic Analysis Of System Software

School of Computing and Information Systems This dissertation tackles key problems associated with enabling the dynamic analysis of system software. Because system software interacts directly with hardware, its execution is tightly coupled with the underlying platform and dependent on specific hardware features. Therefore, there is a need to decouple such software from these hardware dependencies and provision the necessary system states for its execution, thereby enabling dynamic analysis. Analyzing such software, which is typically privileged, requires specialized tools. Moreover, we need a foothold to host the analyzer on the system, provide mechanisms to introspect the target, and manage system states. Furthermore, unlike generic tools, there is a lack of user-programmable analysis frameworks that can be customized to combine multiple analysis techniques. Addressing these challenges, we propose techniques that advance system software analysis. We present a symbolic execution engine as a framework for dynamic analysis of system software. It operate… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Defense by Pansilu Madhura Bhashana Pitigalaarachchi PITIGALA ARACHCHILLAGE. Contact: scisseminars@smu.edu.sg.

Scaling up Cooperative Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning

School of Computing and Information Systems Over the past decade, multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for enabling collaborative behaviors among autonomous agents within MAS to solve complex tasks. This dissertation discusses a critical scalability gap and addresses the question: How can we design multi-agent learning systems that simultaneously scale to large agent teams and extended temporal horizons while maintaining the generalizability for practical deployment? As a response, the dissertation makes four interconnected contributions that collectively advance the field from recognizing scalability limitations to implementing practical multi-agent frameworks: a comprehensive survey of scalable multi-agent reinforcement learning, a long-horizon multi-objective multi-agent reinforcement learning benchmark (MOSMAC), a hierarchical multi-agent learning framework with self-organizing neural networks (HiSOMA), and a hierarchical multi-agent learning framework integrating large language models (L2M2).
