Privacy Preserving Data Sharing in Electronic Health Environment. This project aims to improve access to electronic health data (EHD) while still ensuring patient privacy. EHD can provide important information for medical research and health-care resource allocations. However, data sharing in electronic health environments is challenging because of the privacy concerns of customers. Large-scale unauthorised access from internal staff has been reported in Medicare.

This project aims to improve access to electronic health data (EHD) while still ensuring patient privacy. EHD can provide important information for medical research and health-care resource allocations. However, data sharing in electronic health environments is challenging because of the privacy concerns of customers. Large-scale unauthorised access from internal staff has been reported in Medicare. This project aims to develop new privacy-preserving algorithms on EHD database federations, which can provide efficient data access yet block inside attacks. It will significantly improve the data available for medical research, while reducing the cost of EHD system management and providing visualised decision supports to medical staff and the government health resource planners.Read moreRead less
Algorithms for collaborative micro-navigation based on spatio-temporal data management and data mining. Traffic congestion coupled with greenhouse gas emissions is a major challenge for modern society. This project will tackle this challenge by developing computer-assisted smart vehicles that can access and exchange real-time information about traffic conditions, leading to improved driving experience, safety and environmental sustainability.

Summary
Mining Patterns and Changes of Wave Shapes for Efficiently Querying Periodic Data Streams. Many data streams change periodically, such as vital physiological parameters (for example, heart rate, arterial pressure and respiratory impedance) and seasonal environmental data streams (for example, temperature and turbidity of river water). However, the querying of periodic data streams faces great challenges, including the issue of critical signals being generally buried within massive data while cri ....Mining Patterns and Changes of Wave Shapes for Efficiently Querying Periodic Data Streams. Many data streams change periodically, such as vital physiological parameters (for example, heart rate, arterial pressure and respiratory impedance) and seasonal environmental data streams (for example, temperature and turbidity of river water). However, the querying of periodic data streams faces great challenges, including the issue of critical signals being generally buried within massive data while critical changes between similar wave shapes are difficult to recognise due to shifting, scaling and noise. This project will develop new mining algorithms to resolve these challenges by segmenting periodic wave shapes, discovering shape patterns and shape changes, and summarising raw data streams so that the summarised data can directly answer various user queries for efficiency.Read moreRead less

Accurate and online abnormality detection in multiple correlated time series. This study will develop a new kernel-based and online support vector regression method for real-time and correlated multiple time series and promote their use in critical applications, which will save money and lives. Examples include the detection of stock market crisis events and detection of patients' condition deterioration in the operating theatre.
Learning human activities through low cost, unobtrusive RFID technology. A rapidly growing aged population presents many challenges to Australia's health and aged care services. The outcomes of this project will help aging Australians live in their own homes longer, with greater independence and safety by providing an automated, unobtrusive means for health professionals to monitor activity and intervene as required.

Real-time query processing of multi-dimensional uncertain data streams is fundamental in many applications such as environmental monitoring and location based services. This project aims to develop effective techniques to explore the massive multi-dimensional uncertain data streams in real time. The project will develop, analyse, implement and evaluate novel indexing and query processing techniques to effectively and efficiently support a set of primitive queries including rank-based queries, dominance-based queries and proximity-based queries. The results of this project will be an important complement to the development of data stream systems and will bring considerable social, economic and technological benefits to Australia.Read moreRead less
Monitoring social events for user online behaviour analytics. This project aims to investigate the influence of public attention on steering user online behaviour. The exponential growth of online behaviour data makes online behaviour analytics increasingly important in social, commercial and political environments, but existing methods rely on user profiles only. The project will unify external social events with user profiles for behaviour analytics, and develop approaches for event database i ....Monitoring social events for user online behaviour analytics. This project aims to investigate the influence of public attention on steering user online behaviour. The exponential growth of online behaviour data makes online behaviour analytics increasingly important in social, commercial and political environments, but existing methods rely on user profiles only. The project will unify external social events with user profiles for behaviour analytics, and develop approaches for event database indexing, event-influenced behaviour modelling and prediction. The success of this project is expected to enhance users’ online experience and improve e-commerce’s market value.Read moreRead less

It provides individuals, business, government and social groups the ability to explore significant uncertain trajectories and their patterns, for important usages in location based services, logistic, transportation and tourism.
Deep attribute-aware hashing for cross retrieval. This project aims to enable individuals, industries and governments, to freely access vital and linked information carried in different media types from different sources by developing a deep attribute-aware framework that embeds heterogeneous features into a shared data space to achieve effective and efficient cross system information retrieval.

This project aims to enable individuals, industries and governments, to freely access vital and linked information carried in different media types from different sources by developing a deep attribute-aware framework that embeds heterogeneous features into a shared data space to achieve effective and efficient cross system information retrieval. With the proliferation of heterogeneous data sources, there is an urgent need to enable search and retrieval across different media types and domains. The framework developed by the project uses deep learning methods to develop meaningful image attributes to positively bridge the modality gap and the domain gap when hash functions are affixed to data. This project will significantly advance the research of multimedia retrieval, and benefit a series of related research problems whenever heterogeneous multimedia data are involved in their applications.Read moreRead less
