Towards Full-Lifecycle Quality Assurance of Modern Software

Software has changed dramatically over the past decade. Modern software is no longer a self-contained program developed and operated by humans. It increasingly depends on complex software ecosystems, is deployed through highly automated cloud infrastructure, and is now being generated, operated, and even autonomously controlled by AI. These changes raise a fundamental question: how can we trust this new generation of software? In this talk, I will present our research towards full-lifecycle security assurance of modern software systems. The talk covers three stages of the software lifecycle: (1) understanding complex software behaviors through program analysis to uncover bugs and security risks before release; (2) automating the transition from software artifacts to reliable cloud deployments; and (3) governing agentic software at runtime to ensure that AI agents operate within intended security boundaries. Across these directions, I will discuss how program analysis, software testing, and LLM-based reasoning… Subtitle: Research Seminar by Dr Xiaoyu SUN. Contact: scisseminars@smu.edu.sg.

Towards Embodied Human Motion Generation

Generative models now produce human motion that faithfully follows text, music, or user intent, yet such motion is optimized for how it looks against captured data, not for whether a body could perform it in an environment. This dissertation calls this distance the embodiment gap and pursues embodied human motion generation by decomposing the gap into four requirements: coherence over long horizons at tractable cost (R1), a body free of self-collision (R2), closed-loop response to streaming user input (R3), and physical executability on a humanoid robot (R4). Three completed works address the first three. Lagrangian Motion Fields addresses R1 with a compact, training-free motion abstraction that improves long-term generation quality while reducing inference cost. FreeMo addresses R2 with a differentiable, trajectory-level collision energy that removes self-collision from pretrained generators without retraining. TINMO addresses R3 by discovering unsupervised latent actions over motion primitives, recasting in… Subtitle: PhD Dissertation Proposal by YANG Yifei. Contact: scisseminars@smu.edu.sg.

TO THINK OR NOT TO THINK: EVALUATING LLM REASONING AND AGENTS IN VULNERABILITY DETECTION

Infosessions This study evaluates 64 controlled configurations on the PrimeVul Pair benchmark, spanning four open models, two reasoning modes, four orchestration levels and two prompting strategies. Reasoning-enabled "thinking" improves non-agent F1 in seven of eight settings, primarily through recall, while consuming 2.4-3.5x the energy. Dual-agent designs achieve the highest F1 while flagging 88.2% of functions as vulnerable. This exposes a security asymmetry: an offensive system may derive value from a single exploitable vulnerability, whereas a defensive system operating at scale cannot rely on recall alone, as the resulting false positives shift the problem into operational triage capacity. Multi-agent designs improve pairwise discrimination at lower false-positive cost, while budget-matched single-agent self-revision can match or exceed them. The findings highlight the need to evaluate agentic security systems jointly across accuracy, alert burden, inference budget and energy, rather than detection performance alone… Subtitle: SCIS EngD 2026 Pre-conference talk by Shane Tan.
