NetSight: Joint Spatio-Temporal Dependency Modeling for Network Traffic Prediction

Published in Proceedings of the 35th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM), 2026

A joint spatio-temporal dependency modeling approach for network traffic prediction, accepted at CIKM 2026.

Evaluating Language Models on Cross-Language Code Functional Equivalence

Published in International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement (ESEM 2026), 2026

Introduces PolyHuman, the first dataset for evaluating cross-language code functional equivalence on human-written code, and shows LLMs are far less reliable on human-written code than on synthetic code.

Low-power and Computing-free Privacy Design for IoT Systems

Published in IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium on VLSI (ISVLSI), 2024

Proposes a hardware-software co-design approach that leverages naturally occurring hardware noise from transistor degradation as a low-power, computing-free source of noise for Local Differential Privacy.
