Fast effective clustering technologies for highly dynamic massive networks. Clustering is a fundamental data mining and analysis task. In an interconnected evolving world, friendships and information flows are modelled as large dynamic networks. Structural clustering and correlation clustering are important and well-studied approaches for static networks; for evolving networks, where links appear and disappear over time, we lack efficient techniques.

In an interconnected evolving world, friendships and information flows are modelled as large dynamic networks. Structural clustering and correlation clustering are important and well-studied approaches for static networks; for evolving networks, where links appear and disappear over time, we lack efficient techniques. Anticipated outcomes are new practical clustering algorithms for dynamic networks – with performance guarantees of efficiency and clustering quality – and prototype software, guiding us to pick a good clustering. Expected benefits include better understanding of spread in evolving social networks, accelerating the software testing cycle, and improved topic detection.Read moreRead less
Attribution of Machine-generated Code for Accountability. Machine-generated (or neural) code is usually produced by AI tools to speed up software development. However, such codes have recently raised serious security and privacy concerns. This project aims to attribute these codes to their generative models for accountability purposes. In the process, a series of new techniques are developed to differentiate between the codes generated by different models. The outcomes include analysis of neural ....Attribution of Machine-generated Code for Accountability. Machine-generated (or neural) code is usually produced by AI tools to speed up software development. However, such codes have recently raised serious security and privacy concerns. This project aims to attribute these codes to their generative models for accountability purposes. In the process, a series of new techniques are developed to differentiate between the codes generated by different models. The outcomes include analysis of neural code fingerprints, classification of neural codes, and theories to verify the correctness of code attribution. These will provide significant benefits, ranging from copyright protection to privacy preservation. This project is timely since currently the software community is pervasively using neural codes.Read moreRead less

This project aims to develop new technology to enable simultaneous measurement of the mass and conformation of single molecules. Mass spectrometry and high-resolution microscopy are independent analytical tools used widely to characterise the chemical and physical properties of molecules. This project aims to develop new technology based on advanced nanoelectromechanical systems that combines the capabilities of these complementary instruments. This would enable synchronous measurement of molecular mass and conformation with nanometre resolution. In contrast to current mass spectrometry, this technology could be operated in fluid and detect neutral species. This significant change in capability could be applied to advance biological and medical research.Read moreRead less
Trisections, triangulations and the complexity of manifolds. This project aims at practical representations of 3-dimensional and 4-dimensional spaces as needed in applications. Topology is the mathematical study of the shapes of spaces. Geometry endows spaces with additional structure such as distance, angle and curvature. Special combinatorial structures, such as minimal triangulations, are often closely connected to geometric structures or topological properties. This project aims to construct ....Trisections, triangulations and the complexity of manifolds. This project aims at practical representations of 3-dimensional and 4-dimensional spaces as needed in applications. Topology is the mathematical study of the shapes of spaces. Geometry endows spaces with additional structure such as distance, angle and curvature. Special combinatorial structures, such as minimal triangulations, are often closely connected to geometric structures or topological properties. This project aims to construct computable invariants, connectivity results for triangulations, and algorithms to recognise fundamental topological properties and structures such as trisections and bundles.Read moreRead less
Approximate structures for efficient processing of data streams. This project aims to increase the volume of streamed data that can be handled on a low-powered device with limited memory. In finance, health, and transport, data arrives at enormous rates, and data-driven decisions must be made quickly. Likewise, to keep Australia secure, national agencies monitor and gather vast data sets. Increasingly, devices and monitors that have limited resources are making these decisions and they require c ....Approximate structures for efficient processing of data streams. This project aims to increase the volume of streamed data that can be handled on a low-powered device with limited memory. In finance, health, and transport, data arrives at enormous rates, and data-driven decisions must be made quickly. Likewise, to keep Australia secure, national agencies monitor and gather vast data sets. Increasingly, devices and monitors that have limited resources are making these decisions and they require computational techniques that run extremely efficiently. The project expects to develop and improve approximate data structures that operate in tight resource bounds. Anticipated outcomes are improved event recognition and dramatic speedup in analysis of streams in areas such as finance, health, transport, and urban data.Read moreRead less

ARC Research Hub for Integrated Device for End-user Analysis at Low-levels. This hub aims to improve detection of biological materials by building a portable device for rapid, time-critical detection of low-abundance molecular and cellular analytes. It is expected that the resulting technologies would be used at medical points of care, ordinary workplaces and centres of activity to test for tiny levels of targeted molecules. The initial focus would be early diagnosis of disease and point-of-care drug testing for humans and animals, but the technology platform could be used to sample food and environmental toxins. The hub expects these disruptive technologies will make Australian biotechnology, diagnostics, veterinary, agribusiness and manufacturing firms globally competitive.Read moreRead less
