Improving Cross-Encoders through Task-Specific Attention Modifications

Group: Information Retrieval (IR)
Speaker: Ferdinand Schlatt, Friedrich Schiller University Jena
Date: 03 June, 2024
Time: 15:00 - 16:00
Location: Room 422, SAWB

Title:

Improving Cross-Encoders through Task-Specific Attention Modifications


Abstract:

Cross-encoders effectively asses a query's relevance to a passage, but the backbone encoder models were originally designed for general-purpose natural language processing. We investigate task-specific modifications to the backbone encoder's attention mechanism to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Specifically, we introduce the Sparse Cross-Encoder and the Set-Encoder. The Sparse Cross-Encoder has drastically fewer token interactions, and thus reduces the required time and computational effort without harming effectiveness. The Set-Encoder introduces a permutation-invariant inter-passage attention mechanism. This mechanism enables inter-passage interactions while the output scores are independent of the order of the input passages. The Set-Encoder is as effective as previous listwise re-ranking models, while its permutation invariance makes it robust to ranking permutations.

Redeploying the Same Vulnerabilities: Exploiting Wireless Side-Channels in EV Charging Protocols (Cyber-Security Theme Seminar)

Group: School of Computing Science
Speaker: Dr. Sebastian Kohler, University of Oxford
Date: 05 June, 2024
Time: 14:00 - 15:00
Location: SAWB 423, Sir Alwyn Williams Building

Title:

Redeploying the Same Vulnerabilities: Exploiting Wireless Side-Channels in EV Charging Protocols

Abstract:

The Combined Charging System (CCS), one of the most widely used DC rapid charging technologies for EVs, is vulnerable to wireless attacks. The charging cable acts as unintentional antenna, leaking the power-line communication (PLC) signals and allowing adversaries to inject their own with off-the-shelf radio equipment. In this talk, we show how we can eavesdrop on charging communication, or terminate multiple charging sessions wirelessly. These vulnerabilities have been known for several years, but are still present in the CCS standard, while the recently announced North American Charging Standard (NACS) uses the same vulnerable physical layer as well. How do we secure these charging systems nowwe're in so deep? 

Bio:

Sebastian is a Senior Research Associate and Royal Academy of Engineering UK IC Fellow in the Systems Security Lab, Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford, where he works on and coordinates research activities in wireless and physical-layer security. His work focuses on the security of various systems, ranging from space and satellite systems to autonomous and electric vehicles. For his work during his PhD, which revealed a serious vulnerability in a widely used electric vehicle charging protocol, he was awarded the EPSRC Doctoral Prize and MPLS Early Career Research Impact Award.

The Paradox of (Computer Science) Capital

Group: Glasgow Women in Computing Science (GWiCS)
Speaker: Maria Kallia, University of Glasgow
Date: 05 June, 2024

"Computer science as a field of study has grown exponentially, with schools worldwide emphasizing its importance in shaping the future workforce. Yet, while the acquisition of Computer Science capital in school settings often influences students' decisions to pursue higher education in Computing, its role in resilience and persistence at the university level remains vague. This talk builds a narrative into the relationship between Computer Science capital, academic choices, persistence, and university values and culture. Through a critical lens, it examines how some undergraduate CS students accrue capital not only for academic success but often as a means of “surviving” the field. Challenging conventional narratives, the talk continues with an exploration of how institutions' focus on external goods shapes academic practices and consequently, students' perceptions of Computing, questioning whether they foster environments conducive to inclusivity, environments that contribute to the social and common good, and a just and equitable society."

Title: When Copilot Becomes Autopilot: Generative AI's Critical Risk to Knowledge Work and a Critical Solution
 
Abstract: Generative AI, with its tendency to "hallucinate" incorrect results, may pose a risk to knowledge work by introducing errors. On the other hand, it may also provide unprecedented opportunities for users, particularly non-experts, to learn and apply advanced software features and greatly increase the scope and complexity of tasks they can successfully achieve.
 
AI hallucinations are an important challenge, but they are not the greatest risk posed by generative AI to knowledge workflows. Rather, as more work can be safely delegated to AI, the risk is that human critical thinking -- the ability to holistically and rigorously evaluate a problem and its solutions -- is degraded in the process. The risk of a powerful and capable Copilot is that knowledge work goes on Autopilot. The solution is to design the interfaces of generative AI systems deliberately to foster and encourage critical thinking in knowledge work, building primarily on a long history of research on critical thinking tools for education.
 
We discuss a prototype system for the activity of shortlisting, a simple but ubiquitous data analysis problem. The system uses generative AI to suggest shortlisting criteria and applies these criteria to sort rows in a spreadsheet. It also generates "provocations": short text snippets that critique the AI-generated criteria, highlighting risks, shortcomings, and alternatives. Our prototype opens up a rich and completely unexplored design space of critical thinking tools for modern AI-assisted knowledge work. We outline a research agenda for AI as a critic or provocateur, including questions about where and when provocations should appear, their form and content, and potential design trade-offs.
 
Bio: I'm a researcher at Microsoft and lecturer at Cambridge and UCL. I'm interested in building Tools for Thought with AI. I've worked on spreadsheets, data visualisation, AI and creativity, end-user programming, and the future of work. Read more: Advait Sarkar | AI & Design Research | Microsoft, Cambridge, UCL

Effective Representation Learning for Legal Case Retrieval

Group: Information Retrieval (IR)
Speaker: Yanran Tang, University of Queensland
Date: 17 June, 2024
Time: 15:00 - 16:00
Location: Room 422, SAWB

Title
Effective Representation Learning for Legal Case Retrieval

Abstract
Legal case retrieval (LCR) is a specialised and indispensable retrieval task that focuses on retrieving relevant cases given a query case. For legal practitioners such as judges and lawyers, using retrieval tools is more efficient than manually finding relevant cases by looking into thousands of legal documents. The methods of LCR can be generally divided into two branches, statistical retrieval models that measure the term frequency similarity between cases and neural LCR models that encode the case into a representation to conduct nearest neighbour search. However, the legal domain-specific knowledge that can reveal the relevance among cases has not been well exploited in the existing LCR models. Thus, to further enhance the learning ability and retrieval accuracy of LCR models, three legal specific aspects are investigated and utilised to enhance the LCR accuracy: legal determining features, legal structural information, and legal connectivity relationships. This talk mainly includes four recent papers:

Exploring Generative Care Futures with Older Adults

Group: Computing Technologies for Healthcare
Speaker: Jacob Sheahan, University of Edinburgh’s Institute of Design Informatics and Advanced Care Research Centre
Date: 18 June, 2024
Time: 11:00 - 12:00
Location: SAWB 423, Sir Alwyn Williams Building

Abstract: The mainstream adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools has brought many challenges, not least of which has been how we conceive of the future and later life. While efforts to envision and create health technologies with older adults have grown, the adoption of generative systems is now reinforcing many of the stigmas and biases we have long sought to reduce in technology studies. Framing the techno-determinist visions of generative AI as both a feature and tool for critique, I discuss two recent studies examining generative stories and futures of ageing and care with older adults. As we address the challenges of ageing populations and overburdened care systems, can technology designers realise the models of care that really support and enable older adults?

Bio: Jacob Sheahan is a Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh’s Institute of Design Informatics and Advanced Care Research Centre, where he is currently exploring how to enhance networks of care in later life. With a background in industrial design and a PhD in interaction design from RMIT University, Melbourne, Jacob’s research is interdisciplinary and collaborative, partnering with local communities and organisations to design technologies for socially complex contexts, from ageing to health to safety.

Group: School of Computing Science
Speaker: Victor Lough, Schneider Electric
Date: 19 June, 2024
Time: 14:00 - 15:00
Location: Sir Alwyn Williams Building, 422 Seminar Room

Title: The trials and tribulations of deploying a PQC solution in the OT Environment

Abstract: It has been increasingly stated that if you are not already preparing for Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC), then you are probably going to be too late. How to deliver such a solution into the Operational Technology Environment requires careful consideration to ensure the continued operational availability of the protected Assets? This talk looks at how PQC has been used to protect assets within an OT environment, whilst identifying foundational requirement and findings from the project itself.

Speaker Bio : Victor has over 30 years of Industrial control and Asset management experience  and was in 2006 a foundational member of the Schneider-Electric Cyber Security business, where he has worked on a number of interesting projects. This includes the delivery of a PQC for OT security network architecture for a UK OES. Victor is an active NCSC ICS COI member, contributed to PETRAS and read Physics with Solid-State Electronics at Heriot-Watt University.

Thumbs Up for Accessibility: Enhancing Non-Verbal Interaction in Technology-Mediated Communication

Group: Computing Technologies for Healthcare
Speaker: Timothy Neate, Kings College London
Date: 25 June, 2024
Time: 11:00 - 12:00
Location: SAWB 423, Sir Alwyn Williams Building

Human communication is complex. We do so much more than speak, listen, read, and write. Verbal communication is often complemented by a nuanced range of non-verbal communication, such as body language, gestures, and myriad other means. These broader notions of expression are particularly important for people with communication impairments, as they allow an alternative or complementary means to engage. Despite its clear importance, non-verbal communication takes a minor role in technology-mediated communication. In this talk, I describe our ongoing work, which seeks to respond to this challenge. I detail our investigations into understanding the impact of videoconferencing on communication for people with language impairments and outline challenges and opportunities for supporting diverse communication styles in remote communication. Then, I discuss our ongoing work with discreet and wearable augmented communication devices—detailing how smartwatches, 'earables', smart badges, augmented reality, and other unconventional form-factor devices might support and augment accessible, embodied communication in real-world contexts. Finally, I turn to the future, discuss where I think assistive technologies should progress, and invite your contributions to communication technologies that enable a broader range of expression and inclusion.

Speaker Bio: Timothy Neate is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor in UK) at the Department of Informatics, King’s College London.  He is a human-computer interaction and accessibility researcher. His work considers the development of novel interaction techniques and design approaches to make the most of the full range of human capability. He has published work in these areas, mostly focusing on accessible digital content creation/consumption and accessible interaction techniques.
