Boosting Symbolic Execution for Vulnerability Detection

Software systems written by humans tend to be unreliable and insecure, hence, vulnerabilities in them are inevitable. Symbolic execution has shown considerable potential in detecting diverse types of software bugs and also vulnerabilities that have severe security implications. However, existing symbolic execution engines still suffer from at least three fundamental limitations in memory modeling, path exploration, and structured input generation, which signiﬁcantly impede existing engines for efﬁciently and effectively detecting software bugs and vulnerabilities. The dissertation aims to boost existing symbolic execution engines by designing a new memory model, two new path exploration strategies, and a new test input generation solution to alleviate three key limitations to facilitate automatic vulnerability detection. Speciﬁcally, in the ﬁrst work, we propose SymLoc, a vulnerability detection system that designs a new symbolic memory model. In the second work, we propose FastKLEE, a faster path exploratio… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Defense by TU Haoxin. Contact: scisseminars@smu.edu.sg.

Evaluation of Pre-trained Vision Language Models in Challenging Contexts

This thesis presents a comprehensive evaluation of pre-trained vision-language models (VLMs), aiming to dissect their performance limitations, especially in challenging contexts that push their boundaries. We delve into three primary concerns: stereotypical bias, reasoning beyond common sense, and underspecification. A new dataset, VLStereoSet, is introduced to comprehensively measure stereotypical bias, which reveals prevalent biases through empirical analysis on six VLMs. Furthermore, we present ROME, a dataset challenging VLMs with counter-intuitive scenarios to test their reasoning against human-like interpretation. Our findings from this dataset demonstrate a significant gap between machine reasoning and nuanced human thought. Finally, we propose FOCUS, a vision-language dataset designed to evaluate how VLMs handle underspecified statements by requiring context-sensitive disambiguation through paired images. Through rigorous experimentation and analysis, we aim to unravel the complexities of these models… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Defense by ZHOU Kankan. Contact: scisseminars@smu.edu.sg.
