Computational Intelligence for Complex Structured Data. This project aims to use computational intelligence techniques to reliably learn adaptive natural human pointing and gestures to control an interface on a pseudo-3D display. Highly complex data with interconnections between elements is hard to visualise on screens. Most current tools are operated using point/click/drag on 2D screens. The physical technology to capture appropriate human behaviours exists already, but not the adaptive learnin ....Computational Intelligence for Complex Structured Data. This project aims to use computational intelligence techniques to reliably learn adaptive natural human pointing and gestures to control an interface on a pseudo-3D display. Highly complex data with interconnections between elements is hard to visualise on screens. Most current tools are operated using point/click/drag on 2D screens. The physical technology to capture appropriate human behaviours exists already, but not the adaptive learning of the syntax and semantics of individual gestures and actions, nor the multi-gesture information fusion required for understanding, which could significantly enhance efficiency, for example, in sorting through named entities in an investigation. All of this is done naturally by most human beings, using biological neural networks.Read moreRead less

Discovering Patterns using Near Unsupervised Leaning to Support the Quick Detection of New Animal Disease Outbreaks Caused by Viruses. Without the capability to identify and study the vast majority of extant viruses using traditional laboratory techniques, emerging threats to Australian livestock health cannot be efficiently diagnosed or treated. New approaches based on high-throughput sequencing have recently been developed to study such viruses, but making sense of the sequence data is still a ....Discovering Patterns using Near Unsupervised Leaning to Support the Quick Detection of New Animal Disease Outbreaks Caused by Viruses. Without the capability to identify and study the vast majority of extant viruses using traditional laboratory techniques, emerging threats to Australian livestock health cannot be efficiently diagnosed or treated. New approaches based on high-throughput sequencing have recently been developed to study such viruses, but making sense of the sequence data is still a complex problem. Together with the project's Partner Organisations, including YourGene Biosciences Australia and the CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory, this project aims to develop new computational methods to broaden the scope of detection and analysis of unknown viruses, enhancing the capability for research into the causative viral agents of animal diseases.Read moreRead less
Data mining complex transactional and criminal networks. Money laundering, if undetected, poses a major concern for governments and communities. The software system platform for detecting money laundering networks from this project will be the first that can assist intelligence data analysts to detect unknown money laundering networks faster and more accurately, helping fight crimes more efficiently.
Machine learning techniques for fuel loss detection at service stations. This project aims to develop effective techniques to identify the sources of fuel losses, such as leaks and calibration errors in underground storage tanks at service stations. Monitoring fuel losses at service stations is influenced by many external factors which can be difficult to predict. The project expects to use machine learning to develop the techniques and test them with live data at service stations. The expected ....Machine learning techniques for fuel loss detection at service stations. This project aims to develop effective techniques to identify the sources of fuel losses, such as leaks and calibration errors in underground storage tanks at service stations. Monitoring fuel losses at service stations is influenced by many external factors which can be difficult to predict. The project expects to use machine learning to develop the techniques and test them with live data at service stations. The expected outcomes are a set of tailor-made machine learning techniques for effective fuel loss detection and a software suite that can be easily incorporated into the normal operation of service stations. This should reduce the costs to the petroleum industry from wasteful leaks and the environmental damage caused by these leaks. Read moreRead less
