One of the biggest challenges in employing artificial intelligence is the “black-box” nature of the models used. This project aims to improve the effectiveness and trustworthiness of deep learning within quantitative magnetic resonance imaging. Deep learning has great promise in speeding-up complex image processing tasks, but currently suffers from variable data inputs, predictions are not guaranteed to be plausible and it is not clear to the end user how reliable the results are. The outcomes intend to deliver advanced knowledge and capability in artificial intelligence and machine learning that Australia urgently needs to capitalise on bringing deep learning into practical applications delivering economic, commercial and social impact.Read moreRead less
Image search for simulator content creation. The World Wide Web contains tens of billions of images, with personal and industrial collections stretching to may times that number. The potential economic value of these image-based resources is enormous, but largely untapped as we have no practical way of recovering the images we need. This project will develop image search technologies which will allow Australian industry to exploit these important resources. Some of the wide variety of possible ....Image search for simulator content creation. The World Wide Web contains tens of billions of images, with personal and industrial collections stretching to may times that number. The potential economic value of these image-based resources is enormous, but largely untapped as we have no practical way of recovering the images we need. This project will develop image search technologies which will allow Australian industry to exploit these important resources. Some of the wide variety of possible applications might include the searching of surveillance video for objects of interest, vision-based guidance of unmanned vehicles, smart-phone and smart-home systems which understand their environments, and stock tracking systems which can detect spoilage.Read moreRead less
Automated assessment of data quality in biological knowledge resources. This project aims to develop methods for identifying poor quality data in biological databases. Research in biomedicine is underpinned by massive databases of biological data. Data quality is largely managed through manual curation, but automated methods to assess quality are critically needed.

This project aims to develop methods for identifying poor quality data in biological databases. Research in biomedicine is underpinned by massive databases of biological data. Data quality is largely managed through manual curation, but automated methods to assess quality are critically needed. This project expects to develop a suite of computational tools for assessing biological data quality, utilising an innovative approach based on network analysis of database record connectivity. These tools will enable quantifying data quality at scale. Researchers, evidence-based decision-makers in biomedicine, and the analytical or predictive tools that use this data will make more reliable inferences and decisions.Read moreRead less
Real-time signal processing and distributed robotic telescope networking for co-detection of gravitational waves and their optical counterparts. An international collaboration of scientists will employ a global network of telescopes and detectors to search for ripples in space-time. The project will use novel computational tools to study exotic phenomena in the distant Universe.
Coupling Learning in Big Data. Big data features complex coupling relationships within and between diverse entities in various forms and layers. This fundamentally challenges existing learning theories, which usually assume that data is independent and identically distributed (IID). This indicates that such IID tools may either be inapplicable for big data or capture an incomplete or even biased picture of the ground truth in big data. Hence, this project aims to invent breakthrough theories and ....Coupling Learning in Big Data. Big data features complex coupling relationships within and between diverse entities in various forms and layers. This fundamentally challenges existing learning theories, which usually assume that data is independent and identically distributed (IID). This indicates that such IID tools may either be inapplicable for big data or capture an incomplete or even biased picture of the ground truth in big data. Hence, this project aims to invent breakthrough theories and effective tools for systematically modelling and learning sophisticated couplings embedded in big data applications. The outcomes are expected to enhance Australia's leading role in data science research and lift data intelligence-driven productivity and economic growth in a changing world.Read moreRead less

Active Management of Complex Non-self-finalising Behaviours through Deep Analytics. This project aims to build theoretical breakthroughs and novel tools for deep analytics and active management of non-self-finalising (NSF) individual and business behaviours, which are sophisticated and increasingly seen in public sectors such as taxation and business including banking and insurance.

This project aims to build theoretical breakthroughs and novel tools for deep analytics and active management of non-self-finalising (NSF) individual and business behaviours, which are sophisticated and increasingly seen in public sectors such as taxation and business including banking and insurance. The challenging economic environment continues to make managing NSF behaviours difficult. To date, there are no sufficient theories or effective systems in data mining and behavioural science to systematically learn the intent, impact and patterns of NSF behaviours, and to suggest cost-effective responses to these behaviours. This project aims to ensure Australia’s leading role in innovation for evidence-driven enterprise behaviour analytics and management.Read moreRead less
