Summary
A major role of our kidneys is to filter our blood. A key cell type in our kidney filters is an octopus-shaped cell known as the podocyte. If we are not born with enough podocytes, or if the filters grow too large after birth due for example to excessive weight gain, the podocytes cannot adequately filter the blood, and this can lead to kidney disease. We will measure podocyte endowment at birth, and assess the effects of weight gain and loss after birth on podocyte features and kidney health.
Personalised Privacy-Preserving Network Data Publishing System . Data sharing has become a driving force for many businesses in industrial sectors. This project aims to develop a privacy preserving network data publishing system that can preserve user privacy in a personalised way while maintaining maximal utility of the published data. To make accurate privacy preservation, this project will design novel learning models to derive accurate users’ correlation and their privacy intention, develop ....Personalised Privacy-Preserving Network Data Publishing System . Data sharing has become a driving force for many businesses in industrial sectors. This project aims to develop a privacy preserving network data publishing system that can preserve user privacy in a personalised way while maintaining maximal utility of the published data. To make accurate privacy preservation, this project will design novel learning models to derive accurate users’ correlation and their privacy intention, develop efficient privacy preserving algorithms to deal with static and dynamic network data sharing. The success of this project will benefit many industries and government agencies to reduce users’ privacy breaches, avoid illegal consequences of sharing data, and enhance these service providers’ service quality.Read moreRead less
Enhancing the content and experience of Interactive Childrens Television. Interactive television (iTV) as a participatory, on-demand communication provides a unique opportunity to significantly engage, entertain and educate preschool children. Through considerable industry partner collaboration and participation, this project will evaluate three distinct interactive options produced from selected children's television programs with proven success in Australia. Usability studies employing a vari ....Enhancing the content and experience of Interactive Childrens Television. Interactive television (iTV) as a participatory, on-demand communication provides a unique opportunity to significantly engage, entertain and educate preschool children. Through considerable industry partner collaboration and participation, this project will evaluate three distinct interactive options produced from selected children's television programs with proven success in Australia. Usability studies employing a variety of surveillance techniques will evaluate content design and user response. Children's viewing habits will be evaluated within a social context (the home) and a mobile lab setting using qualitative and quantitative assessment. The results will identify effective ways to produce meaningful interactivity and will encourage future industry based research.Read moreRead less

Glass-box Deep Machine Perception for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. Explainability and Transparency are the key values for development and deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Australia’s AI Ethics Framework for industry and governments. This project aims to build new tools to make the central technology of AI - deep learning - transparent and explainable. Its expected outputs are novel theory-driven algorithms and unconventional foundational blocks for deep learning that will al ....Glass-box Deep Machine Perception for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence. Explainability and Transparency are the key values for development and deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Australia’s AI Ethics Framework for industry and governments. This project aims to build new tools to make the central technology of AI - deep learning - transparent and explainable. Its expected outputs are novel theory-driven algorithms and unconventional foundational blocks for deep learning that will allow humans to clearly interpret the reasoning process of this technology, which is currently not possible. It is expected to significantly advance our knowledge in machine intelligence and perception. Due to their fundamental nature, the project outcomes are likely to benefit industry and scientific frontiers alike.Read moreRead less
