Compressed Video Aggregator: Content-driven Module for Efficient Micro-Video Recommendation

We propose Compressed Video Aggregator (CVA), a lightweight micro-video recommendation module that decouples video information from preference learning. It aggregates frozen VFM embeddings, and uses latent reasoning without cross-attention projection, producing compact video embeddings for recommenders. Due to the redundancy in the frame count of the original benchmark and its overly coarse sampling, we used titles to re-select key frames based on CLIP. Experiments on MicroLens and Short-Video show consistent gains with orders-of-magnitude reductions in training time and GPU memory, and re-selected frames can further enhance the performance of all methods, including CVA. Furthermore, we also discussed the impact of several scenarios involving erroneous titles on our method. Code will be released soon.

MGC: A Complex-Valued Graph Convolutional Network for Directed Graphs

Recent advancements in Graph Neural Networks have led to state-of-the-art performance on graph representation learning. However, the majority of existing works process directed graphs by symmetrization, which causes loss of directional information. To address this issue, we introduce the magnetic Laplacian, a discrete Schrödinger operator with magnetic field, which preserves edge directionality by encoding it into a complex phase with an electric charge parameter. By adopting a truncated variant of PageRank named Linear- Rank, we design and build a low-pass filter for homogeneous graphs and a high-pass filter for heterogeneous graphs. In this work, we propose a complex-valued graph convolutional network named Magnetic Graph Convolutional network (MGC). With the corresponding complex-valued techniques, we ensure our model will be degenerated into real-valued when the charge parameter is in specific values. We test our model on several graph datasets including directed homogeneous and heterogeneous graphs. The experimental results demonstrate that MGC is fast, powerful, and widely applicable.

RFID-Based Indoor Spatial Query Evaluation with Bayesian Filtering Techniques

People spend a significant amount of time in indoor spaces (e.g., office buildings, subway systems, etc.) in their daily lives. Therefore, it is important to develop efficient indoor spatial query algorithms for supporting various location-based applications. However, indoor spaces differ from outdoor spaces because users have to follow the indoor floor plan for their movements. In addition, positioning in indoor environments is mainly based on sensing devices (e.g., RFID readers) rather than GPS devices. Consequently, we cannot apply existing spatial query evaluation techniques devised for outdoor environments for this new challenge. Because Bayesian filtering techniques can be employed to estimate the state of a system that changes over time using a sequence of noisy measurements made on the system, in this research, we propose the Bayesian filtering-based location inference methods as the basis for evaluating indoor spatial queries with noisy RFID raw data. Furthermore, two novel models, indoor walking graph model and anchor point indexing model, are created for tracking object locations in indoor environments. Based on the inference method and tracking models, we develop innovative indoor range and k nearest neighbor (kNN) query algorithms. We validate our solution through use of both synthetic data and real-world data. Our experimental results show that the proposed algorithms can evaluate indoor spatial queries effectively and efficiently. We open-source the code, data, and floor plan at https://github.com/DataScienceLab18/IndoorToolKit.

Practical Blind Membership Inference Attack via Differential Comparisons

Membership inference (MI) attacks affect user privacy by inferring whether given data samples have been used to train a target learning model, e.g., a deep neural network. There are two types of MI attacks in the literature, i.e., these with and without shadow models. The success of the former heavily depends on the quality of the shadow model, i.e., the transferability between the shadow and the target; the latter, given only blackbox probing access to the target model, cannot make an effective inference of unknowns, compared with MI attacks using shadow models, due to the insufficient number of qualified samples labeled with ground truth membership information. In this paper, we propose an MI attack, called BlindMI, which probes the target model and extracts membership semantics via a novel approach, called differential comparison. The high-level idea is that BlindMI first generates a dataset with nonmembers via transforming existing samples into new samples, and then differentially moves samples from a target dataset to the generated, non-member set in an iterative manner. If the differential move of a sample increases the set distance, BlindMI considers the sample as non-member and vice versa. BlindMI was evaluated by comparing it with state-of-the-art MI attack algorithms. Our evaluation shows that BlindMI improves F1-score by nearly 20% when compared to state-of-the-art on some datasets, such as Purchase-50 and Birds-200, in the blind setting where the adversary does not know the target model's architecture and the target dataset's ground truth labels. We also show that BlindMI can defeat state-of-the-art defenses.
