This project aims to develop scalable and effective graph mining techniques for the timely exploration of social events that are the hottest happenings in online information networks. The research will primarily exploit the complex network structures and non-structural properties of streaming social data to report what is happening in a timely fashion. This project will lay the theoretical foundations of this emerging field to strengthen Australia’s world leadership role in data science. Practically, the novel theories and data analytics technologies developed will benefit the Australian economy and society by monitoring emergencies, tracking prevailing sentiments, and spotting investment opportunities through timely event responses.Read moreRead less
Next Generation Spatial Data Management for Virtual Spatial Systems. This project aims to design novel spatial data retrieval methods for efficient and accurate querying of large datasets with location information. Spatial data is being generated at an unprecedented rate due to the prevalence of mobile devices and ubiquitous connectivity. However, harnessing this data is hampered by outdated and inefficient methods. The project will investigate data retrieval methods that self-optimise for high ....Next Generation Spatial Data Management for Virtual Spatial Systems. This project aims to design novel spatial data retrieval methods for efficient and accurate querying of large datasets with location information. Spatial data is being generated at an unprecedented rate due to the prevalence of mobile devices and ubiquitous connectivity. However, harnessing this data is hampered by outdated and inefficient methods. The project will investigate data retrieval methods that self-optimise for high query efficiency and accuracy, by utilising underlying real-world data patterns. It will enable novel applications for virtual spatial systems with large-scale querying needs, such as spatial digital twins and metaverses, benefiting location-based service providers, urban planners, and emergency management agencies.Read moreRead less
