This project aims to empower edge devices with intelligence by developing advanced deep neural networks that address the conflict between the high resource requirements of deep learning and the generally inadequate performance of the edge. Multiplication has been the dominant type of operation in deep learning, though the addition is known to be much cheaper. This project expects to yield theories and algorithms that allow deep neural networks consisting of nearly pure additions to fulfil the requisites of accuracy, robustness, calibration and generalisation in real-world computer vision tasks. The success of this project will benefit deep learning-based products on smartphones or robots in health and cybersecurity.Read moreRead less

Summary
Towards Real-world Continual Learning on Unrestricted Task Steams. This project aims to enable machines to continually learn without forgetting and accumulate knowledge from the sequential data streams containing diverse tasks. This project expects to advance the continual learning to unrestricted real-world task steams that are long-term and complex and promote artificial intelligence toward the human-level intelligence that can automatically evolve during interaction with the world. Expected o ....Towards Real-world Continual Learning on Unrestricted Task Steams. This project aims to enable machines to continually learn without forgetting and accumulate knowledge from the sequential data streams containing diverse tasks. This project expects to advance the continual learning to unrestricted real-world task steams that are long-term and complex and promote artificial intelligence toward the human-level intelligence that can automatically evolve during interaction with the world. Expected outcomes of this project include the paradigm-shifting continual learning framework and techniques for handling unrestricted task steams in real-world scenarios. They will benefit society and the economy nationally and internationally by enhancing the applicability of artificial intelligence.Read moreRead less
Generative Visual Pre-training on Unlabelled Big Data. This project aims to develop a generative visual pre-training of large-scale deep neural networks on unlabelled big data. Developing pre-trained visual models that are accurate, robust, and efficient for downstream tasks is a keystone of modern computer vision, but it poses challenges and knowledge gaps to existing unsupervised representation learning. Expected outcomes include new theories and algorithms for unsupervised visual pre-training ....Generative Visual Pre-training on Unlabelled Big Data. This project aims to develop a generative visual pre-training of large-scale deep neural networks on unlabelled big data. Developing pre-trained visual models that are accurate, robust, and efficient for downstream tasks is a keystone of modern computer vision, but it poses challenges and knowledge gaps to existing unsupervised representation learning. Expected outcomes include new theories and algorithms for unsupervised visual pre-training, which are anticipated to deepen our understanding of visual representation and make it easier to build and deploy computer vision applications and services. Examples of benefits include modernising machines in manufacturing and farming with visual intelligence. Read moreRead less

This project aims to uniquely exploit geometric manifolds in deep learning to advance the frontier of Artificial Intelligence (AI) research and applications in cybersecurity and general cognitive tasks. It expects to develop new theories, algorithms, tools, and technologies for machine learning systems that are fast, adaptive, lifelong and robust, even with limited supervision. Expected outcomes will enhance Australia's capability and competitiveness in AI, and deliver robust and trustworthy learning technology. The project should provide significant benefits not only in advancing scientific and translational knowledge but also in accelerating AI innovations, safeguarding cyberspace, and reducing the burden on defence expenses in Australia.Read moreRead less
