This project will develop an improved breast cancer computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system that incorporates mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. This system will be based on recently developed deep learning techniques, which have the capacity to process multi-modal data in a unified and optimal manner. The advantage of this technique is that it is able to automatically learn both the relevant features to analyse in each modality and the hidden relationships between them. The use of deep belief networks has produced promising results in several fields, such as speech recognition, and so this project believes that our approach has the potential to improve both the sensitivity and specificity of breast cancer detection.Read moreRead less
Deep reinforcement learning for discovering and visualising biomarkers. This project aims to develop novel methods for discovering and visualising optimal bio-markers from chest computed tomography images based on extensions of recently developed deep reinforcement learning techniques.

This project aims to develop novel methods for discovering and visualising optimal bio-markers from chest computed tomography images based on extensions of recently developed deep reinforcement learning techniques. The extensions proposed in this project will advance medical image analysis by allowing an efficient analysis of large dimensionality inputs in their original high resolution. In addition, this project will be the first approach capable of discovering previously unknown biomarkers associated with important clinical outcomes. The project will validate the approach on a real-world case study data set concerning the prediction of five-year survival of chronic disease.Read moreRead less

This project aims to equip machines with a human-likeability to synergistically harness multiple information sources for the purpose of optimal decision-making. This project will produce the next great step for machine intelligence - laying the theoretical foundation for the learning of multiple views and building the next generation of intelligent systems which can accommodate multiple information sources. This research is fundamental to the creation of intelligent systems that elegantly tackle varieties of big data. This should benefit science, society, and the economy nationally through applications including autonomous vehicle development, sensor technologies, and human behaviour analysis.Read moreRead less
A theoretical framework for practical partial fingerprint identification. Fingerprints captured from a crime scene are often partial and poor quality which makes it difficult to identify the criminal suspects from large databases. This project will find mathematical models which can estimate the missing information located in the blank areas of a partial fingerprint and effectively identify it.
Nonlinear Transfer Distance Metric Learning for Gleaning Knowledge from the Crowd. This project will develop nonlinear transfer distance metric learning algorithms for training and test samples that are not independent and identically distributed, or from different instance spaces. New theoretical foundations for crowd-sourcing will lead to innovative intelligent systems for such purposes as the NBN, social, and security services, and keep pace with developments in hardware technology.

This project will develop nonlinear transfer distance metric learning algorithms for training and test samples that are not independent and identically distributed, or from different instance spaces. New theoretical foundations for crowd-sourcing will lead to innovative intelligent systems for such purposes as the NBN, social, and security services, and keep pace with developments in hardware technology. The outcomes include applications in social networks, the Internet, and climate change, as well as video surveillance to help combat crime and terrorism. The innovative research will significantly benefit Australia’s economy, environment and society, and will maintain Australia's global leading role in the machine learning and computer vision.Read moreRead less
Dynamic Visual Scene Gist Recognition using a Probabilistic Inference Framework. How can we see the forest without intentionally looking for the trees? How can we tell traffic is flowing smoothly on a busy highway without identifying vehicles or measuring their speed? These are the questions that inspire this research project. Humans are endowed with the ability to grasp the ‘gist’ or overall meaning of a complex visual scene from a single glance and without attention to details. The aim of this ....Dynamic Visual Scene Gist Recognition using a Probabilistic Inference Framework. How can we see the forest without intentionally looking for the trees? How can we tell traffic is flowing smoothly on a busy highway without identifying vehicles or measuring their speed? These are the questions that inspire this research project. Humans are endowed with the ability to grasp the ‘gist’ or overall meaning of a complex visual scene from a single glance and without attention to details. The aim of this project is to develop new computational vision models that combine biological visual processing with probabilistic inference for gist recognition. The developed models will be able to mimic human vision by analysing a complex dynamic scene rapidly and classifying its semantic categories, without identifying individual objects.Read moreRead less

Delivering information suitable for studying spatial and temporal variability in benthic habitats using autonomous underwater vehicles. This project will develop the tools required to transform observations, made from autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) of benthic habitats, into information that supports a better understanding of variability in benthic environments. This will allow for a coordinated and collaborative approach for data analysis and mapping to be undertaken.
