Toward generalist anomaly detectors

This dissertation investigates generalist anomaly detection, aiming to improve generalization across unseen anomaly types and diverse domains while progressively reducing dependence on target-domain data. It covers open-set supervised, few-shot, and zero-shot anomaly detection through four works. AHL models anomaly heterogeneity to improve generalization to unseen anomaly types. InCTRL introduces in-context residual learning with a few normal reference samples for cross-domain anomaly detection without target-domain retraining. InCTRL v2 further integrates semantic-guided abnormality and normality modeling to improve both anomaly detection and localization under large domain shifts. Finally, FAPrompt enables zero-shot anomaly detection by learning fine-grained abnormality prompts within vision-language models, requiring no target-domain data. Together, these works establish a coherent progression toward robust, scalable, and increasingly domain-agnostic anomaly detection systems. Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Proposal by ZHU Jiawen.

A Survey of Earable Technology: Trends, Tools, and the Road Ahead

Earable devices, wearables positioned in or around the ear, are undergoing a rapid transformation from audio-centric accessories into multifunctional systems for interaction, contextual awareness, and health monitoring. This evolution is driven by commercial trends emphasizing sensor integration and by a surge of academic interest exploring novel sensing capabilities. Building on the foundation established by earlier surveys, this work presents a timely and comprehensive review of earable research published since 2022. We attempt to answer three core questions: (1) how has earable research evolved in recent years, (2) what enabling resources are now available, and (3) what opportunities remain for future exploration. For question (1), we analyze over one hundred recent studies to characterize this shifting research landscape, by identifying emerging sensing principles/applications, and efforts to improve accuracy and reliability over prior works. For question (2), we summarize new public datasets and hardware… Subtitle: Pre-Conference Talk by HU Changshuo. Contact: scisseminar@smu.edu.sg.

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.

Climate Transition Stress Testing for Corporate Credit Risk

Infosessions Subtitle: SCIS EngD 2026 Pre-conference talk by NGUYEN Huynh Long Hung. RSVP: . Event Details: , Abstract This talk presents a transparent data-mining approach for connecting corporate financial information with ESG risk measures to support climate-transition stress testing. The framework separates two tasks: assessing a firm’s underlying financial distress and examining how an externally imposed transition-risk scenario could affect that assessment. This separation makes the assumptions behind the stress test visible, auditable, and replaceable. Using U.S. corporate financial and ESG data, the… Type: Seminars & Workshops.

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.
