2025 RailEstate: An Interactive System for Metro Linked Property Trends
abstract
Access to metro systems plays a critical role in shaping urban housing markets by enhancing neighborhood accessibility and driving property demand. We present RailEstate, a novel web-based system that integrates spatial analytics, natural language interfaces, and interactive forecasting to analyze how proximity to metro stations influences residential property prices in the Washington metropolitan area. Unlike static mapping tools or generic listing platforms, RailEstate combines 25 years of historical housing data with transit infrastructure to support low-latency geospatial queries, time-series visualizations, and predictive modeling. Users can interactively explore ZIP-code-level price patterns, investigate long-term trends, and forecast future housing values around any metro station. A key innovation is our natural language chatbot, which translates plain-English questions (e.g., "What is the highest price in Falls Church in the year 2000?") into executable SQL over a spatial database. This unified and interactive platform empowers urban planners, investors, and residents to derive actionable insights from metro-linked housing data—without requiring technical expertise. A demonstration video of the system is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLiz8S1UXsc.

2024 Exposing LLM Vulnerabilities: Adversarial Scam Detection and Performance
abstract
Can we trust Large Language Models (LLMs) to accurately predict scam? This paper investigates the vulnerabilities of LLMs when facing adversarial scam messages for the task of scam detection. We addressed this issue by creating a comprehensive dataset with fine-grained labels of scam messages, including both original and adversarial scam messages. The dataset extended traditional binary classes for the scam detection task into more nuanced scam types. Our analysis showed how adversarial examples took advantage of vulnerabilities of a LLM, leading to high misclassification rate. We evaluated the performance of LLMs on these adversarial scam messages and proposed strategies to improve their robustness.
