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
Making Meta-learning Generalised . This project aims to develop novel machine learning techniques, termed generalised meta-learning, to make machines better utilise past experience to solve new tasks with few data. It expects to reduce the undesirable dependence of current machine learning on labelled data and significantly expand its application scope. Expected outcomes of the project consist of new theoretical results on meta-learning and a set of innovative algorithms that can support the bui ....Making Meta-learning Generalised . This project aims to develop novel machine learning techniques, termed generalised meta-learning, to make machines better utilise past experience to solve new tasks with few data. It expects to reduce the undesirable dependence of current machine learning on labelled data and significantly expand its application scope. Expected outcomes of the project consist of new theoretical results on meta-learning and a set of innovative algorithms that can support the building of next generation of computer vision systems to work in open and dynamic environments. This should be able to produce solid benefits to the science, society, and economy of Australian via the application of these advanced intelligent systems.Read moreRead less
Online Learning for Large Scale Structured Data in Complex Situations. Online Learning (OL) is the process of predicting answers for a sequence of questions. OL has enjoyed much attention in recent years due to its natural ability of processing large scale non-structured data and adapting to a changing environment. However, OL has three weaknesses: it does not scale for structured data; it often assumes that all of the data are equally important; it often considers that all of the data are compl ....Online Learning for Large Scale Structured Data in Complex Situations. Online Learning (OL) is the process of predicting answers for a sequence of questions. OL has enjoyed much attention in recent years due to its natural ability of processing large scale non-structured data and adapting to a changing environment. However, OL has three weaknesses: it does not scale for structured data; it often assumes that all of the data are equally important; it often considers that all of the data are complete and noise-free. These weaknesses limit its utility, because real data such as those that must be analysed in processing social networks, fraud detection do not satisfy the restrictions. The aim of this project is to develop theoretical and practical advances in OL that overcome the existing weaknesses.Read moreRead less

Medical Device technologies embrace a wide range of scientific, engineering and medical knowledge, with the goal of assisting a clinical professional (doctor or nurse) deliver a service to a patient in an efficacious, cost effective manner. Development of appropriate medical devices, whether for diagnosis, treatment or prevention of disease or disability, is critical to improving health care and reducing health care costs. To be successful, a device must include all relevant disciplines in the research, development and testing phases. This network will bring together these groups, promoting knowledge sharing and cross-disciplinary investigations that illuminate current device limitations and potential solutions.Read moreRead less
