Sequential Robustness in Adversarial Reinforcement Learning

School of Computing and Information Systems This thesis establishes a new foundation for adversarial reinforcement learning, motivated by the comparative structure of regret. Existing approaches to robustness typically rely on adversarial training, which often fails to generalize to novel attacks, or worst-case optimization, which provides lower-bound guarantees but tends to produce overly conservative policies. To address these limitations, I propose a framework guided by three key principles. First, robustness should be evaluated at the trajectory level, ensuring stability over long sequences of decisions rather than individual actions. Second, robust agents must be designed with future adversaries in mind, rather than optimized against a fixed perturbation strategy. Finally, principled descriptions of the underlying problem structure are essential: methods that exploit the true structure of adversarial decision-making remain robust as applications evolve, while purely heuristic approaches often prove brittle. Building on these principles, this diss… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Defense by BELAIRE Roman Lok-Ming. Contact: scisseminars@smu.edu.sg.

Unleashing Vision-Language Semantics for Deepfake Video Detection

School of Computing and Information Systems Recent Deepfake Video Detection (DFD) studies have demonstrated that pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) such as CLIP exhibit strong generalization capabilities in detecting artifacts across different identities. However, existing approaches focus on leveraging visual features only, overlooking their most distinctive strength — the rich vision-language semantics embedded in the latent space. We propose VLAForge, a novel DFD framework that unleashes the potential of such cross-modal semantics to enhance model's discriminability in deepfake detection. This work i) enhances the visual perception of VLM through a ForgePerceiver, which acts as an independent learner to capture diverse, subtle forgery cues both granularly and holistically, while preserving the pretrained Vision–Language Alignment (VLA) knowledge, and ii) provides a complementary discriminative cue — Identity-Aware VLA score, derived by coupling cross-modal semantics with the forgery cues learned by ForgePerceiver. Notably, the VLA score is au… Subtitle: Pre-Conference Talk by ZHU Jiawen. Contact: scisseminar@smu.edu.sg.

Perspectives on Interpretability of Neural Models for Representing Text

School of Computing and Information Systems In this dissertation, we investigate interpretability in the three elements of learning neural text representations: inputs, models, and outputs. We emphasise perspective as we present alternative novel methods to mine and organise meaning in this work. Firstly, examining models, we propose an alternate angle of interpreting Neural Topic Models word-topic distribution, producing better topic representations for interpretation. Next, we apply our previous findings to mine interpretations from the weights of transformer-based Large Language Models. Second, for outputs, as observations is critical to interpretability evaluations, we examine text representations from the human mental model. We propose and formulate a large-scale correlation analysis and accompanying user studies to examine automated coherence metrics and human evaluations. Finally, the model and its corresponding outputs learn from the pre-defined boundaries of the input space. For neural text representations, that would be the token space consis… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Defense by LIM Jia Peng. Contact: scisseminars@smu.edu.sg.

Yong Pung How Professorship of Law Lecture: Corporate National Identity: What Lawyers Are Missing

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia Who determines the national identity of a corporation, and on what basis? The standard legal tests — incorporation, real seat, corporate control through equity ownership — have long provided a working answer. That answer is no longer sufficient. Corporate national identity has become a site of intense contestation and a first-order governance issue for boards, states, and markets — a development with profound practical and scholarly consequences. The stakes are especially high in Singapore, which has become the preferred redomiciliation destination for major Chinese firms seeking to mitigate geopolitical exposure. For lawyers, business leaders, and policymakers, understanding corporate national identity through the legal facet alone now produces material blind spots. This lecture introduces a framework that exposes what the traditional legal lens misses. The implications reach across cross-border M&A, corporate governance, and the capacity of corporate law to absorb the geopolitical pressures now reshaping i… Fee(s): Complimentary.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Designing for “Just Enough”: How Elegance Drives Adoption and Innovation

School of Computing and Information Systems In an environment saturated with information, products, and interfaces, users increasingly expect designs that are both simple and effective. Elegant Design: A Designer’s Guide to Harnessing Aesthetics examines how the tension between simplicity and complexity can be addressed by conceptualizing elegance as a form of ideal complexity: sufficiently rich to convey meaning, yet clear enough for immediate comprehension. Drawing on research at the intersection of cognitive science, information theory, and art, Luca Landoli demonstrates that aesthetic pleasure is not merely an optional enhancement, but a critical factor guiding decision-making in design, innovation, and product development.
