Summary
Structured Federated Learning for Personalised Intelligence on Devices. The project aims to develop a new structured federated machine-learning framework to enhance the customisation of artificial intelligence across mobile and smart devices. It seeks to enable users to receive customised services on their devices without sending their sensitive personal data to a cloud service provider. Anticipated benefits include greater privacy, data security and device performance, as well as better end-use ....Structured Federated Learning for Personalised Intelligence on Devices. The project aims to develop a new structured federated machine-learning framework to enhance the customisation of artificial intelligence across mobile and smart devices. It seeks to enable users to receive customised services on their devices without sending their sensitive personal data to a cloud service provider. Anticipated benefits include greater privacy, data security and device performance, as well as better end-user experience. Expected outcomes of this research include new knowledge, toolkits and algorithms for use in developing machine-learning based secure, efficient and fault-tolerant technologies for software applications, mobile services, cloud computing, autonomous vehicles and advanced manufacturing processes.Read moreRead less
Advanced Machine Learning with Bilevel Optimization. There is an urgent need to develop a new machine learning (ML) paradigm that can overcome data-privacy and model-size constraints in real-world applications. This project aims to develop an advanced paradigm of ML with bilevel optimisation, called bilevel ML. A theoretically-guaranteed fast approximate solver and a new fuzzy bilevel learning framework will be developed to achieve the aim in complex situations; a methodology to transfer knowled ....Advanced Machine Learning with Bilevel Optimization. There is an urgent need to develop a new machine learning (ML) paradigm that can overcome data-privacy and model-size constraints in real-world applications. This project aims to develop an advanced paradigm of ML with bilevel optimisation, called bilevel ML. A theoretically-guaranteed fast approximate solver and a new fuzzy bilevel learning framework will be developed to achieve the aim in complex situations; a methodology to transfer knowledge and an approach to fast-adapt bilevel optimization solutions when required computing resources change. The anticipated outcomes should significantly improve the reliability of ML with benefits for safety learning and computing resource optimisation in ML-based data analytics.Read moreRead less

Trading Privacy, Bandwidth and Accuracy in Algorithmic Machine Learning. This project aims to investigate the trade-offs between privacy, communication costs and accuracy of results when learning from users' sensitive data. The project intends to design faster and more accurate algorithms for a wide range of machine learning tasks by developing a novel and widely-applicable algorithmic framework. Expected outcomes of this project include new theoretical tools to guide the design of data-driven d ....Trading Privacy, Bandwidth and Accuracy in Algorithmic Machine Learning. This project aims to investigate the trade-offs between privacy, communication costs and accuracy of results when learning from users' sensitive data. The project intends to design faster and more accurate algorithms for a wide range of machine learning tasks by developing a novel and widely-applicable algorithmic framework. Expected outcomes of this project include new theoretical tools to guide the design of data-driven decision systems and rigorously analyse their performance and privacy guarantees. Privacy of individuals' information in data analytics pipelines is a key societal concern. This project should lead to significant benefits by strengthening privacy in these pipelines while also improving accuracy and cost-efficiency.Read moreRead less
