Automating real-time feedback in virtual reality training through data mining. This project will use data mining techniques to develop a real-time feedback system that can be used in virtual reality training environments. This system will not only improve trainees' learning, it will also lead to more efficient use of virtual reality training in industries such as aviation, aerospace, mining, health and emergency services.

Summary
High performance density-based clustering in parallel environments. This project aims to conduct a comprehensive study on density-based clustering to improve data management in parallel computing environments. Clustering, a fundamental task in data management, is to group a set of objects such that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar to each other than those in other groups in order to simplify retrieval of similar information. Clustering is widely used in many fields i ....High performance density-based clustering in parallel environments. This project aims to conduct a comprehensive study on density-based clustering to improve data management in parallel computing environments. Clustering, a fundamental task in data management, is to group a set of objects such that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar to each other than those in other groups in order to simplify retrieval of similar information. Clustering is widely used in many fields including machine learning, pattern recognition, information retrieval, bioinformatics and image analysis. It is expected that the developed clustering techniques will provide significant performance improvements in industry sectors where decisions are made based on clustering data analytics, such as the sectors of finance, renewable energy and artificial intelligence.Read moreRead less
View-based processing of pattern matching queries in large graphs. Graph data exist ubiquitously in modern information systems. Graph pattern matching (GPM) finds parts of the data graph that match a given pattern. It has applications in many areas including knowledge discovery, public health, and crime detection. This project will develop novel techniques for the efficient processing of GPM queries in large graphs.

Information Extraction from Large-scale Low-quality Data. Information extraction which identifies entities and relations from data is a key technology that lays the foundation for understanding the semantics of data. This project aims to investigate the problem of information extraction by innovatively exploring the informality and temporal evolution of data. It expects to develop novel techniques for reliable, efficient, and scalable information discovery from large-scale low-quality data.

Information extraction which identifies entities and relations from data is a key technology that lays the foundation for understanding the semantics of data. This project aims to investigate the problem of information extraction by innovatively exploring the informality and temporal evolution of data. It expects to develop novel techniques for reliable, efficient, and scalable information discovery from large-scale low-quality data. Expected outcomes include a set of collective, contextualised, and temporal-aware algorithms for information extraction and integration, built on top of effective indexing and in-parallel processing. This project is anticipated to benefit a considerable number of data-driven intelligence-based applications.Read moreRead less

Our modern society is struggling with an unprecedented amount of online fake news, which is recently driven by misused artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This project aims to build the first real-time system integrating algorithmic models and human validators to counter such falsehoods, especially those AI-fabricated false stories. This project expects to deliver a series of cost-effective and streaming methods empowering a Web-based observatory dashboard of fake news propagation. This achieves significant benefits for media organisations, governments, the public, and academia via timely alerts, data-journalism reports, and novel data visualisations of social media landscape to distinguish between legitimate and deceptive contents.Read moreRead less

This project aims to develop a new generation of cost-effective techniques for scalable, robust and real-time recommendations utilising big data. This project aims to address these challenges to achieve scalable, robust and real-time recommendations. This project will devise a series of cost-effective machine learning methods and schemes to deliver an end-to-end recommender framework. This project has the potential to significantly reduce the energy consumption of large-scale recommender systems as well as facilitating an increase in the use of recommendation applications for big data.Read moreRead less

Scalable Composition and Deployment of Business-to-Business Web-based E-Services. The ubiquity of the Internet offers far reaching opportunities for
emerging Web applications. Separate businesses may be linked into a virtual enterprise that provides a one-stop shop for users. However, there is no model available for managing electronically accessible

emerging Web applications. Separate businesses may be linked into a virtual enterprise that provides a one-stop shop for users. However, there is no model available for managing electronically accessible
services (e-services) in a systematic manner which make them easy to compose and deploy. Our research proposes to address the fundamental issues related to fast and scalable composition of e-services in Web-based environments. We propose novel concepts for integrating a large number of dynamic and loosely coupled services. Another distinctive feature of our approach is the peer-to-peer collaborative execution of services.Read moreRead less
A novel Internet-based clinical trial service. The best way to test whether a clinical treatment intervention is effective is a randomised controlled trial (rct). Rcts are expensive, both in terms of resources and time. The internet may provide a method of conducting rcts which is efficent and provides access to those in remote communities. The purpose of this project is to assess the feasibility of developing a structure for conducting rcts using the internet.
