PROCESS ROUTING AND DECISION DRIVER DISCOVERY FROM RELATIONAL DATABASES WITHOUT PRIOR EVENT LOGS

Infosessions Abstract : Many operational systems contain rich transactional data but lack usable event logs, making it difficult to understand how transactions move through a process and what drives different outcomes. We developed PROD (Process ROuting Discovery from relational Data), a framework that discovers process routing directly from relational databases without requiring prior event-log construction. PROD identifies relationships between tables, reconstructs row-level routing, detects branching points, and uses machine learning with SHAP-based attribution to identify the attributes associated with different routing outcomes. An LLM then translates these findings into natural-language explanations. This enables practical use cases such as identifying why transactions follow different paths, what factors are associated with cancellations or successful outcomes, and where operational interventions may be useful. The framework was evaluated across six synthetic, benchmark, and industrial datasets, achieving routing a… Subtitle: SCIS EngD 2026 Pre-conference talk by Joel LIM. RSVP: .

ProbGuard: Proactive Runtime Monitoring for LLM Agent Safety via Probabilistic Prediction

LLM agents are increasingly deployed in domains such as autonomous driving, robotics, and web automation, where a single unsafe decision can have serious consequences. Yet most runtime safety monitors are reactive: they detect violations only when unsafe behavior is imminent or has already occurred. We present ProbGuard, a proactive runtime monitoring framework that predicts safety risks before they materialize. ProbGuard abstracts agent executions into symbolic states and learns a Discrete-Time Markov Chain from execution traces to model how agent behavior evolves. At runtime, it estimates the probability that the current execution will remain safe and intervenes when this probability falls below a user-defined threshold. ProbGuard further incorporates semantic validity constraints and provides a PAC-style analysis of the learned model.Across autonomous driving and embodied-agent tasks, ProbGuard consistently anticipates safety violations, providing warnings up to 15.84 seconds before violations with no fals… Subtitle: Pre-Conference Talk by WANG Haoyu.

Beyond Voice: Designing Novel Interfaces for Next-gen AI-Assistants

Voice has become the default way we interact with our devices. As computing moves onto the body, into earables, smart glasses, and other next-generation wearables, speech is the natural choice of interaction modality because it is fast, hands-free, and requires no learning curve. But voice-first interfaces come with several costs. They break down in noisy environments, disrupt the people around us, expose private conversations to anyone within earshot, and remain out of reach for users with speech impairments. These constraints are more challenging on wearables, where screens are small or absent and conventional input is limited. This talk presents a line of research on beyond-voice interactions, introducing interfaces that sense physical motion, for example jaw motion, facial and muscle vibrations, and hand gestures, instead of relying on audible speech alone. I will walk through the systems built around this idea: JawSense and MuteIt, which recognize unvoiced commands from jaw movement captured by a low-co… Subtitle: Research Seminar by Shubham JAIN.

Grounding Foundation Models with Local Context for Societal Impact

Foundation models are remarkably capable but fundamentally lack local context, which are the domain-specific, community-specific, and structurally rich knowledge required by real-world applications. In this talk, I will discuss our work on bridging this gap through knowledge graphs, retrieval-grounded architectures, and domain-aware reasoning. I will show how these approaches enable deployed tools for wildlife conservation research, navigation of Colombia's Truth Commission archives, and personalized nutritional reasoning; the very settings where generic model knowledge falls short and local context is everything. I will close with reflections on what it takes to move from innovative methods to tools that practitioners actually use. Subtitle: Research Seminar by Nitesh CHAWLA. Contact: scisseminars@smu.edu.sg.
