On effectively modelling and efficiently discovering communities from large networks. Finding and maintaining close communities from very large scale, dynamically changing networks is interesting and challenging. This project aims to develop new techniques to identify such communities as fast as possible through exploiting the rich semantics and individual relationships within the communities.
Privacy-preserving record linkage on multiple large databases. Record linkage has been recognised as a crucial infrastructure component in many information systems, however privacy concerns commonly prevent the linking of databases that contain personal information. This project will develop techniques that will enable the linking of multiple large databases without revealing any private information.
