Mining multi-typed and dynamic graphs. Large volumes of data collected nowadays from real-world applications are often represented as graphs. The nodes and the edges of such graphs represent different types of entities and interactions, and they have time information. This project will develop algorithms that mine efficiently such multi-typed and dynamic graphs.
A painless approach to support efficient querying and mining of spatial data through smart transformations. This project will develop spatial data retrieval methods that are not only highly efficient but also easy to implement ('painless'). It will help businesses such as digital map providers, location based service providers and medical researchers quickly possess this key enabling technique for their large scale spatial querying and mining needs.
Knowledge discovery and recommendation of multimedia data in healthcare. The project aims to develop tools to abstract/streamline the ever-growing information-rich multimedia contents into easily discoverable knowledges. Advanced multimedia knowledge graph will be first time developed to accurately exploit hidden knowledge for health industry, and served to generate right information recommendation for healthcare professionals (HCP) at the right time. The proposed technology will improve HCPs' c ....Knowledge discovery and recommendation of multimedia data in healthcare. The project aims to develop tools to abstract/streamline the ever-growing information-rich multimedia contents into easily discoverable knowledges. Advanced multimedia knowledge graph will be first time developed to accurately exploit hidden knowledge for health industry, and served to generate right information recommendation for healthcare professionals (HCP) at the right time. The proposed technology will improve HCPs' communication, keep them up to date, and enhance their speedy reaction to constantly changing situations/diseases, thus reducing poor patient outcomes and unnecessary hospital costs. It will make significant impact to a range of industries, e.g. healthcare, where personalised professional recommendation is demanded.Read moreRead less
From Data to Artefact: a Key Ingredient in Service Interoperation. Supporting service interoperation in the e-Business environment is crucial in automating business transactions across organisation boundaries. If no proper mechanism is in place, business delays, failures, and serious disputes can occur. This project will explore new avenues to this long-standing and challenging problem by providing an artefact framework to model and manage business collaboration. Given this project's unique pers ....From Data to Artefact: a Key Ingredient in Service Interoperation. Supporting service interoperation in the e-Business environment is crucial in automating business transactions across organisation boundaries. If no proper mechanism is in place, business delays, failures, and serious disputes can occur. This project will explore new avenues to this long-standing and challenging problem by providing an artefact framework to model and manage business collaboration. Given this project's unique perspective and approaches that are directly applicable to existing enterprise systems, there is a strong potential for its results to lead to a new generation of e-Business design and management, advance the knowledge base of the discipline and yield high returns to the Australian service society and IT industry.Read moreRead less
Natural language processing for automated validation of protein databases. The project aims to use natural language processing and information retrieval to reconcile and improve sources of biological information. Biological research has produced vast volumes of information about proteins, captured in structured resources (databases) and unstructured documents. However, the accuracy of much of this information is questionable. The project proposes to develop methods to validate data and reduce th ....Natural language processing for automated validation of protein databases. The project aims to use natural language processing and information retrieval to reconcile and improve sources of biological information. Biological research has produced vast volumes of information about proteins, captured in structured resources (databases) and unstructured documents. However, the accuracy of much of this information is questionable. The project proposes to develop methods to validate data and reduce the dramatic inconsistencies in protein information resources by leveraging observed correlations and complementarity between them, and specifically through targeted fact extraction from the biomedical literature. These methods will be applied at scale across millions of published articles, to infer and validate functional information.Read moreRead less
Exposing the anonymous attacker: detecting identity crimes using real-time entity resolution on large dynamic databases. Given the increasingly large costs of identity crimes in Australia, developing improved electronic identity verification techniques is highly significant in reducing losses from such crimes, making the Australian economy more competitive, and increasing consumer confidence in Australian financial institutions. Veda Advantage is widely used for identity verification by Australi ....Exposing the anonymous attacker: detecting identity crimes using real-time entity resolution on large dynamic databases. Given the increasingly large costs of identity crimes in Australia, developing improved electronic identity verification techniques is highly significant in reducing losses from such crimes, making the Australian economy more competitive, and increasing consumer confidence in Australian financial institutions. Veda Advantage is widely used for identity verification by Australian financial service providers, so the benefits of the techniques developed in this project will automatically flow through to the Australian community. These techniques will be sufficiently generic to be of use for real-time identity verification in a broad range of applications, including e-Government portals, electronic banking, online stores, or national security systems.Read moreRead less
Modelling graph-of-graphs for solving document categorisation problems. Documents in the World Wide Web, such as scientific documents, exhibit a referencing structure as well as being structured objects themselves. This project addresses some inherent limitations of existing modelling techniques in order to improve on the quality of results, and to allow the addressing of some unsolved problems involving documents.
