STARI Lunchtime Seminar - Reducing Complexity in DTA Interpretation through Digital Innovation

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia This paper considers an area of complexity in international tax law – the interpretation of double taxation agreements (DTAs). In this paper we examine DTA interpretation complexity by focussing on individual residence articles in DTAs based on the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital (the OECD Model), which underpins more than 3,000 bilateral DTAs worldwide. Residence articles based on Article 4 of the OECD Model are ideal candidates for examining complexity in international tax, given the relevance of foreign case law to their interpretation. Establishing an individual’s tax residence in a contracting State to the DTA is a precondition for applying DTA articles and obtaining treaty protection from double taxation. Where an individual is a tax resident under the domestic law of both contracting States, Article 4 sets out a series of five tiebreaker tests which are sequentially applied to conclusively determine the individual’s residence for the purpose of the DTA. Although the text of residenc… Fee(s): Complimentary, Successful registrant will receive a confirmation email by 22 May 2026 from ccla@smu.edu.sg to confirm your registration.

Stance-Linked Provenance: How Voter Identity Disclosure Reshapes Voting and Suggestion Incorporation on Crowdsourcing Platforms

School of Computing and Information Systems Digital knowledge production on collaborative platforms is governed by the interplay between crowd evaluation and feedback, especially in the generative AI era, when ideas and suggestions can be produced at far greater speed and scale. This study examines how evaluator identity disclosure shapes users’ evaluation and ideators’ incorporation of crowd feedback. Leveraging a design change on TVTropes that shifted voting from anonymous to attributable, we find that identity disclosure reduces both positive and negative evaluations, suggesting lower evaluative participation. We also find that the incorporation of detractor feedback is reduced with identity disclosure, indicating that ideators are less receptive to opposing input when feedback is tied to revealed evaluative stance. These findings reveal a governance trade-off: while identity disclosure enhances accountability and transparency, it simultaneously reduces participation and limits learning from dissent.  This is a Pre-Conference talk for Twenty-second… Subtitle: Pre-Conference Talk by LIAW Shao Yi.

Securing Cloud-Native Systems: From Vulnerability Analysis to External and Insider Threat Detection

School of Computing and Information Systems Cloud-native systems have become the backbone of modern software infrastructure, but their dynamic and heterogeneous nature introduces significant security challenges. Existing approaches remain limited by insufficient understanding of infrastructure software defects, weak robustness of attack detection under evolving system behaviors, and the lack of realistic data for modeling complex insider threats. This dissertation bridges these gaps through a threat-driven perspective spanning infrastructure vulnerabilities, external attack detection, and insider threat analysis. It presents a large-scale empirical study of defects in cloud runtime systems, investigates the robustness of log-based attack detection under realistic system dynamics, and proposes an automated framework for generating high-fidelity insider threat data using LLM-driven multi-agent simulation. Extensive evaluations demonstrate the limitations of existing security techniques and highlight the importance of robustness, realism, and adaptabilit… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Defense by YU Jiongchi.

Aligned Multi-View Scripts for Universal Chart-to-Code Generation

School of Computing and Information Systems Chart-to-code generation converts a chart image into an executable plotting script, enabling faithful reproduction and editable visualizations. Existing methods are largely Python-centric, limiting practical use and overlooking a critical source of supervision: the same chart can be expressed by semantically equivalent scripts in different plotting languages. To fill this gap, we introduce Chart2NCode, a dataset of 176K charts paired with aligned scripts in Python, R, and LaTeX that render visually equivalent outputs, constructed via a metadata-to-template pipeline with rendering verification and human quality checks. Building on a LLaVA-style architecture, we further propose CharLuMA, a parameter-efficient adaptation module that augments the multimodal projector with a language-conditioned mixture of low-rank subspaces, allowing the model to share core chart understanding while specializing code generation to the target language through lightweight routing. Extensive experiments show consistent gains in exec… Subtitle: Pre-Conference Talk by ZHANG Zhihan. Contact: scisseminar@smu.edu.sg.

Jones Day Professorship of Comparative and Commercial Law Lecture 2026: Three Conceptions of Capitalism

This lecture seeks to contribute to the long-standing debates on these questions.   In the lecture, Professor Lucian A. Bebchuk will examine three rival conceptions that have had substantia traction in the “real world” of politics and business – those of  Friedmanesque Capitalism, which supports a corporate maximization of shareholder profits and a limited role for the government,  Managerial Stakeholderism, which advocates encouraging and relying on corporate leaders to use their discretion to serve also stakeholders not only shareholders but, and  Democratic Capitalism, which is deeply concerned about corporate externalities but seeks to address them through external governmental interventions and limiting corporate leaders’ ability to impede such interventions.  The lecture considers what each framework implies for citizens and voters, institutional investors, and… Fee(s): Complimentary.
