Detection of location significance from quality enhanced trajectory data. This project aims to develop effective and efficient methods to utilise large scale Global Positioning System, route and location data to provide individuals, business, government and social groups, the ability to assess the relative significance of locations and associated services, for use in applications such as transportation, logistics, public safety, tourism and utilities.
In-memory moving objects analytics for real-time business applications. This project aims to develop a novel computing foundation based on in-memory technologies to address significant challenges of big data and location-based business intelligence, building upon the well-recognised research excellence in spatiotemporal data management at the University of Queensland, and HANA, SAP's (Systems, Applications, Products in data processing) new in-memory analytics platform.
Monitoring social events for user online behaviour analytics. This project aims to investigate the influence of public attention on steering user online behaviour. The exponential growth of online behaviour data makes online behaviour analytics increasingly important in social, commercial and political environments, but existing methods rely on user profiles only. The project will unify external social events with user profiles for behaviour analytics, and develop approaches for event database i ....Monitoring social events for user online behaviour analytics. This project aims to investigate the influence of public attention on steering user online behaviour. The exponential growth of online behaviour data makes online behaviour analytics increasingly important in social, commercial and political environments, but existing methods rely on user profiles only. The project will unify external social events with user profiles for behaviour analytics, and develop approaches for event database indexing, event-influenced behaviour modelling and prediction. The success of this project is expected to enhance users’ online experience and improve e-commerce’s market value.Read moreRead less
Taming the uncertainty in trajectory data. This project aims to develop effective and efficient methods to manage large scale uncertain trajectory data. It provides individuals, business, government and social groups the ability to explore significant uncertain trajectories and their patterns, for important usages in location based services, logistic, transportation and tourism.
Deep attribute-aware hashing for cross retrieval. This project aims to enable individuals, industries and governments, to freely access vital and linked information carried in different media types from different sources by developing a deep attribute-aware framework that embeds heterogeneous features into a shared data space to achieve effective and efficient cross system information retrieval. With the proliferation of heterogeneous data sources, there is an urgent need to enable search and re ....Deep attribute-aware hashing for cross retrieval. This project aims to enable individuals, industries and governments, to freely access vital and linked information carried in different media types from different sources by developing a deep attribute-aware framework that embeds heterogeneous features into a shared data space to achieve effective and efficient cross system information retrieval. With the proliferation of heterogeneous data sources, there is an urgent need to enable search and retrieval across different media types and domains. The framework developed by the project uses deep learning methods to develop meaningful image attributes to positively bridge the modality gap and the domain gap when hash functions are affixed to data. This project will significantly advance the research of multimedia retrieval, and benefit a series of related research problems whenever heterogeneous multimedia data are involved in their applications.Read moreRead less
Synergising multimedia content understanding with social data analysis. This project aims to develop novel approaches to explore synergies within big social multimedia data from both social and multimedia perspective. It provides individuals, groups, and businesses the ability to tap into the wisdom of crowds to enlarge knowledge base, enhance user experience, understand the pulse of crowds and make informed decision.
Real-time Event Detection, Prediction, and Visualization for Emergency Response. This project proposes novel end-to-end methods for real-time recognition and prediction of real-world events, leading to timely response to emergencies such as disease outbreaks and natural disasters, as well as prevention of crime, security breaches and the like. It will develop new techniques to quickly detect and predict events by incorporating adaptive learning and probabilistic models, and address fusion and sc ....Real-time Event Detection, Prediction, and Visualization for Emergency Response. This project proposes novel end-to-end methods for real-time recognition and prediction of real-world events, leading to timely response to emergencies such as disease outbreaks and natural disasters, as well as prevention of crime, security breaches and the like. It will develop new techniques to quickly detect and predict events by incorporating adaptive learning and probabilistic models, and address fusion and scalability factors to handle vast collections of heterogeneous data. An event surveillance system prototype will be developed to incorporate the findings of the research with tools to visualise and describe events.Read moreRead less
Scalable Cross-Media Hashing for Searching Heterogeneous Data Sources. This project aims to use novel indexing and search approaches to realise the value of multimedia data. The ever-increasing availability and heterogeneity of multimedia data are calling for new approaches to search information across different media types and data sources. This project aims to enable accurate and real-time cross-media searches from billions of multimedia objects collected from various media sources by tackling ....Scalable Cross-Media Hashing for Searching Heterogeneous Data Sources. This project aims to use novel indexing and search approaches to realise the value of multimedia data. The ever-increasing availability and heterogeneity of multimedia data are calling for new approaches to search information across different media types and data sources. This project aims to enable accurate and real-time cross-media searches from billions of multimedia objects collected from various media sources by tackling the heterogeneity and scalability issues. Expected outcomes include scalable cross-media hashing techniques to capture implicit correlations existing in heterogeneous data and embed high-dimensional features into short binary codes; new binary code indexing and ranking schemes to further improve search speed and quality; and a large-scale cross-media system to evaluate methods and demonstrate the practical value.Read moreRead less
