Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration Most foreign exchange transactions route through the U.S. dollar, even when the parties want to exchange two other currencies. Vehicle routing concentrates volume in dollar markets and lowers their trading costs, but a cross-currency trade pays fees and price impact on two dollar legs, while a dedicated pool for cross-currencies may attract too little volume to be economical. We ask whether a single liquidity pool containing the dollar and multiple non-dollar currencies can lower aggregate trading costs. The pool designer chooses the capital weights across currencies and the fee on each pair. With competitive liquidity provision and aggregate fee revenue set optimally, the weights determine aggregate trading costs and each pair’s price impact; the division of fees across pairs determines how those costs are shared by traders. We characterize the optimal cost of a pool and derive a closed-form condition under which it improves on vehicle routing. The condition combines return correlations and the composition o… Subtitle: Dethroning the Dollar? Optimal Multi-Asset Market Making.

Situated Social Learning:How Can Agents Learn Alongside Other Agents?

School of Computing and Information Systems Much of what humans know is learnt from others, by copying them, being taught and learning together. Most AI systems instead learn from individual experience or from existing human data, which reveals little about how social abilities develop. This thesis asks how social learning can develop in situated agents, which, like children, learn through interacting in a shared environment. Such agents face a chicken-and-egg problem: learning from others requires understanding them, yet agents have no reason to develop that understanding until it helps them learn. Existing work largely sidesteps this by building the social part in, or studies only the simplest form, imitating an expert. For imitation (completed), we show across environments from gridworlds to simulated robot locomotion that learning from others is closely linked to modelling them, and that general-purpose learning signals can help drive the emergence of both. For teaching (in progress), we introduce environments based on how animals teach, such as a… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Proposal by HILLIER Dylan Alexander Slavin. Contact: scisseminars@smu.edu.sg.

From Suspicious Nodes to Multi-Agent Failures: Learning to Detect, Generalize, and Diagnose Unusual Behaviors

School of Computing and Information Systems Detecting unusual behavior is essential for safeguarding interconnected systems, from social and financial networks to large language model (LLM)–based multi-agent systems. This thesis addresses limited anomaly supervision, generalization across graph domains, and failure diagnosis through four complementary studies. First, TAM enables unsupervised graph anomaly detection by modeling one-class homophily and exploiting the structural and contextual consistency of normal nodes without requiring labels. Second, GGAD addresses semi-supervised detection by generating informative pseudo-anomalies and combining anomaly-aware representation learning with a one-class objective, effectively using limited normal labels. Third, AnomalyGFM supports zero-shot and few-shot graph anomaly detection through residual representations, normality and abnormality prototypes, and localized subgraph inference. It transfers patterns learned from a source graph to unseen target graphs with no or limited target labels. Finally, Verif… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Defense by QIAO Hezhe.

STARI Lunchtime Seminar - Australia's Public Country-by-Country Reporting Regime: What It Means for Groups Operating in Asia

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia Australia now has one of the most demanding public CbCR regimes in the world, and its reach extends well beyond Australian-headquartered groups. Singapore-headquartered multinationals with Australian operations are caught, and the first disclosures are now coming through. I would set out the scope and mechanics of the regime, compare it with the EU Directive and the GRI 207 standard so that groups facing overlapping obligations can see where the requirements diverge, and offer some thoughts on the regulatory design choices Australia has made and whether they achieve what was intended.

Advancing Multi-Turn Conversational Decision-Making: From Supervised Prediction to Long-Term Policy Optimization

School of Computing and Information Systems Multi-turn conversational agents support users in a wide range of practical situations, from finding personalized recommendations and negotiating agreements to seeking emotional support and getting answers to their questions. Their effectiveness depends on making decisions that meet users’ evolving needs and guide conversations toward successful outcomes. Two broad approaches support this decision-making. Supervised prediction learns from dialogue examples, but high-quality data is limited, and its objectives often focus on the next decision without directly considering the outcome of the whole conversation. Long-term planning and policy learning consider how decisions affect future outcomes. However, planning can require substantial computation before responding, while learning effective strategies can depend on collecting many costly interactions. This dissertation addresses these challenges in two parts. The first addresses the scarcity of high-quality supervision by drawing on similar and useful examples… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Proposal by DAO Quang Huy.

Operations Management Research Seminar

Area Administration We empirically test a theory of AI over/under-reliance in a delegated and AI-assisted decision making environment that endogenizes institutional incentives for decision makers (DMs) to rely on algorithmic recommendations - because algorithms produce case-specific and auditable reference points for managerial judgments of decisions and outcomes, they provide the conditions for managers to blame DMs for algorithm overrides, and DMs to exercise their discretion (to override algorithms) defensively. We develop a model that captures these dynamics and provide empirical support for its key behavioral mechanisms and predictions. We find that DMs are able to reap (some) benefits from their private knowledge in the absence of organizational context, but when decisions are judged by a manager, they often fail to override an algorithm when they have more precise evidence to the contrary, i.e. they lower performance in the very informational state that in many settings provides the most compelling reason for keeping the… Subtitle: Managerial Blame and Defensive Adherence: How Organizations Create AI Over-Reliance.

BFI Business & Policy Insights Series featuring Mishcon de Reya LLP

Business Families Institute The Business Families Institute at Singapore Management University (BFI@SMU) invites you to join us for the BFI Business and Policy Insights Series - a curated forum for business families, founders, and next-generation leaders navigating an increasingly complex landscape. Mishcon de Reya will share a focused, practical look at the Private Trust Company (PTC). PTCs are increasingly adopted by sophisticated business-owning and high net worth families who want greater control and oversight over how their family trusts are managed. The session is designed around commonly asked questions such as: when does a PTC make sense, and when might it not be the right fit? What changes in terms of decision-making, oversight, and family dynamics when a family moves to this model? And what does a PTC model look like in practice? To bring this to life the session includes real life case studies following multi-jurisdictional families through the key decisions, trade-offs, and lessons of establishing a PTC structure.

Reliable Multi-Agent Policy Learning from Limited and Imperfect Feedback

School of Computing and Information Systems Learning to act as a team is challenging when guidance is limited or imperfect. Demonstrations may show useful behavior without explaining each agent’s contribution, while comparative judgments identify better outcomes without specifying every action. When learning relies on previously collected data, incomplete coverage further complicates the relationship between a learned policy and the behavior it will produce. Safety requirements add a separate need to account for the costs of collective decisions. This dissertation investigates cooperative policy learning from demonstrations, trajectory-level preferences, and offline data with explicit reward and cost signals. It studies structured value representations that connect local decisions to team objectives, methods for extracting executable policies from learned values, and distribution-aware optimization under expected-cost constraints. These approaches provide complementary perspectives on how the available feedback can support effective coordinated behavi… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Proposal by BUI The Viet.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration Solar geoengineering reflects incoming sunlight, offering an inexpensive and fastacting way to lower global temperatures without removing carbon from the atmosphere. A meaningful program would cost only $10 to $20 billion per year, within the technical and fiscal reach of multiple climate-vulnerable countries. The asset pricing consequences of this possibility have been largely overlooked in the climate finance literature. In this paper, we develop a macro-finance framework in which geoengineering acts as a put option on climate damages, funded by a growing “ecological debt” of masked warming. If the program ever stops, temperatures snap back in a catastrophic termination shock. We show that the anticipation of geoengineering initially subsidizes fossil fuel firms by suppressing the carbon tax, but ultimately transforms them into toxic assets as ecological debt deepens. Geoengineering and carbon dioxide removal switch from substitutes to complements once termination risk is present. Geoengineering also reshap… Subtitle: The Geoengineering Put: Ecological Debt, Termination Risk, and Asset Prices.

Should we balance? A preliminary study into the maintainability of formal specifications as Linux kernel source code evolves

School of Computing and Information Systems Today there is a renewed interest in formal verification of software, in part to thoroughly check that AI-generated code does what it was intended to do, and in part in recognition that critical code bases are becoming increasingly complex and a better understanding of their behavior is needed. Still, verifying a single code instance is not sufficient. It is also necessary to ensure that the code remains verifiable as it evolves. In this talk, we consider the latter problem in the context of a function used in the Linux kernel task scheduler. We find that simple changes in the code require only minor adjustments to the specifications and the verification process. More complex changes, however, can trigger situations that challenge the underlying SMT solvers used to make verification tractable. But we find that code inducing such challenging situations may also harbor bugs. The talk is based on the joint work with Keisuke Nishimura and Jean-Pierre Lozi presented at SAS 2024.

STARI Lunchtime Seminar - Inland Revenue’s Growing Use of Artificial Intelligence in Tax Administration – Should We Be Concerned?

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia New Zealand’s Inland Revenue, like many sophisticated revenue authorities globally, is actively embracing the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance its digital platforms, increase the levels of taxpayer compliance, and create greater efficiencies with respect to resource use. The use of AI comes with benefits and risks, which need to be very carefully balanced so as to ensure the rights of taxpayers and citizens are protected. While the AI evolution cannot be ignored, the New Zealand government has appropriately recommended a cautious but potentially risky approach with extensive pre-testing before AI products are utilised externally. However, there is no intention to create bespoke legislation to protect New Zealanders’ rights, but to rely on existing legislation concerning privacy and other rights. This paper positions Inland Revenue, one of the more advanced public sector organisations in New Zealand, as adopting AI within the wider New Zealand public service mandate and globally within Organi… Fee(s): Public Standard Fee: SGD50 per pax excl. 9% GST (non-refundable) SMU Faculty and Students: Complimentary - please register here instead.

Optimization under Choice and Behavioral Response Models: Algorithms and Performance Guarantees

School of Computing and Information Systems Retailers deciding which products to offer and at what prices, and defenders allocating limited protection against boundedly rational attackers, must anticipate how people respond to their decisions. Logit-family choice models describe these responses well, but building them into optimization produces nonconvex and often NP-hard problems, which practice usually tackles with heuristics or local search that give no measure of the remaining error. This dissertation proposal shows that the difficulty has an identifiable structure, and that exposing it yields algorithms with provable performance guarantees. It answers three research questions, one for each kind of decision. Discrete assortment decisions admit exact methods and approximation guarantees. For continuous decisions such as pricing and security allocation, and for estimating the choice models themselves, the hard part can be confined to a few customer segments, attacker types, nests, or model parameters, so solutions can be certified as globally optimal… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Proposal by PHAM Hoang Giang.

Formal models are magic

School of Computing and Information Systems In this work, we investigate a variant of the Four Glasses Puzzle (FGP) through the lens of formal verification. Although the puzzle appears to be unsolvable at first glance, formal verification enables the discovery of a correct solution. We demonstrate how the model can be constructed and reduced through progressive abstractions, ultimately yielding a concise and comprehensible model that captures all possible puzzle configurations. To ensure computational efficiency, we introduce the Escape Game - an algorithmic construction that eliminates redundant cycles and facilitates strategy synthesis under imperfect information. Finally, by analysing the strategic capabilities of the player, we present a solution to the puzzle. The approach is formally defined and proven correct. Subtitle: Research Seminar by Laure PETRUCCI.
