Persistent Safety Set Guided Offline Safe Reinforcement Learning

School of Computing and Information Systems Offline safe reinforcement learning learns high-return policies that satisfy hard safety constraints using only a pre-collected dataset. This setting is challenging due to the inability to explore, and the risk of propagating value errors through unsafe state-space regions. To address this, first, we characterize the safe state region by developing a framework for learning control barrier functions (CBFs) using a novel generalized Bellman operator, yielding a persistent safety set, from which the agent can remain safe indefinitely. Second, we show that several existing safety set estimation methods (e.g. reachability-constrained RL) can be formulated within our CBF learning framework, highlighting its generality. We further propose a new CBF that ensures safety under environment dynamics uncertainty, unlike standard CBFs designed for deterministic settings. Third, we propose a new reward maximization algorithm that effectively exploits our learned persistent safety set for reward critic estimation.

Practical On-Device Deep Intelligence for Resource-Constrained Embedded and Wearable Devices

School of Computing and Information Systems Embedded and wearable devices increasingly rely on deep neural networks to support intelligent sensing directly on the device. However, practical on-device intelligence remains difficult across the deployment lifecycle. Before deployment, models must operate accurately under severe memory, computation, and energy constraints, while often supporting multiple sensing applications on a single device. After deployment, they must remain reliable as real-world data distributions change over time. This dissertation studies four connected challenges. First, highly constrained devices may not have sufficient capacity to run a single compressed model accurately. We therefore explore how multiple complementary tiny models can be coordinated and selectively executed to improve accuracy without proportionally increasing per-input computation or peak memory. Second, wearable devices require reusable intelligence across multiple applications. We investigate how a wearable foundation model can be compressed and specialized… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Defense by MA Xiao. Contact: scisseminars@smu.edu.sg.

Beyond Homogeneous Adversaries: Stackelberg Security Games with Mixed Quantal Response

School of Computing and Information Systems The quantal response (QR) model is widely used in Stackelberg security games (SSGs) to capture boundedly rational adversaries. Existing work on SSGs under QR, however, almost exclusively assumes a homogeneous attacker population, ignoring heterogeneity in attacker preferences and rationality. We study SSG with mixed quantal response attackers, where the follower population consists of multiple discrete attacker types, each following a type-specific QR model. The defender allocates limited resources across targets, while an attacker drawn from this heterogeneous population observes the defender's strategy and attacks a single target. This results in a highly non-convex equilibrium computation problem. We develop a polynomial-time approximation scheme for this setting when the number of attacker types is bounded, based on an exponential cone programming formulation combined with a carefully designed Branch-and-Bound procedure. Experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms standard gradient-based methods… Subtitle: Pre-Conference Talk by PHAM Hoang Giang. Contact: scisseminar@smu.edu.sg.

Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources Research Seminar

Area Administration While the work most people do today is, in many ways, easier and more comfortable than it was for previous generations, our day-to-day experience of the work environment can feel surprisingly difficult. In this presentation, I share three papers that each explore an intervention designed to help employees feel better—and work better—over the course of the workday. The first paper introduces a psychological intervention aimed at reducing work-related rumination during non-work hours. The second presents a physiological intervention designed to ease work-related anxiety. The third examines a technology-based intervention intended to smooth everyday social interactions at work. Together, these papers offer a range of approaches that can help employees thrive at work, without requiring changes to the work itself or to the broader work environment.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration We study how resolving local land-use uncertainty affects household reinvestment. Using a nationwide panel linking single-family properties to newly established conservation easements, we compare properties near easement boundaries to similar properties farther away. An event-study design with property and easement-by-year fixed effects reveals that properties within 100 meters of a newly formed easement experience a 1.5--2\% increase in assessed improvement value relative to properties 100--500 meters away, with effects attenuating with distance. This is mirrored by real investment behavior: proximate properties are about 1.6 percentage points more likely to exhibit changes in living area. Our findings constitute evidence for environmental certainty as a key driver of homeowner investment and indicate local spillovers from conservation.

STARI Lunchtime Seminar - The Role And Perspective of Environmental Taxes in Sustainable Development and the Green Economy

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia By 2050, the European Union aims to become the first climate-neutral continent in the world. To this end, the concept of the green economy has been developed, i.e. an economy that improves human wellbeing and social justice while significantly reducing environmental risks. It is also an important component in achieving the overarching goal of sustainable development. To achieve the desired goals, this concept requires extensive financial instruments to stimulate private investment and business activity. One possible solution is environmental taxes. They have a dual function: firstly, to increase tax revenues, and secondly, to change consumer purchasing habits. Growing environmental awareness is pushing policymakers to pursue sustainable economic practices with the dual aim of combining economic efficiency with reduced environmental impacts. Therefore, the main objective of this seminar is to:present the importance and role of environmental taxes in relation to sustainable development and the green economy; … Fee(s): Complimentary, Successful registrant will receive a confirmation email by 17 August 2026 from ccla@smu.edu.sg to confirm your registration.

STARI Lunchtime Seminar - GloBE as a Regular Corporate Income Tax System: Tax Base and Subject

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia This article investigates the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (GloBE Rules) not as a minimum tax but as a regular corporate income tax system. Drawing on the framework of analysis set out in the author's 2024 book, Corporate Tax Law, this article compares the GloBE Rules with the features of four archetypal corporate income tax systems—those of China, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States—with a focus on the first of three artificialities involving corporations: the artificiality of a corporation as an income-deriving subject. The article considers how entities subject to the GloBE Rules are identified and classified, examines specialist tax base issues arising from the artificial nature of the subject matter, and analyses the tax treatment of the subject entity's income. The analysis reveals that while many features of the GloBE Rules are broadly familiar to students of regular corporate income tax systems, a number of peculiarities emerge, including the unusually broad scope of entity cover… Fee(s): Public Standard Fee: SGD50 per pax excl. 9% GST (non-refundable) SMU Faculty and Students: Complimentary - please register here instead.
