Enterprise data present increasingly significant characteristics and complexities, such as multi-aspect, heterogeneous and hierarchical features and interactions, and evolving dependencies and multi-distributions. They continue to significantly challenge the state-of-the-art probabilistic and neural learning systems with limited to insufficient capabilities and capacity. This research aims to develop a theory of flexible deep variational learning transforming new deep probabilistic models with flexible variational neural mechanisms for analytically explainable, complexity-resilient analytics of real-life data. The outcomes are expected to fill important knowledge gaps and lift critical innovation competencies in wide domains.Read moreRead less

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
Toward Human-guided Safe Reinforcement Learning in the Real World. This project aims to investigate human-guided safe reinforcement learning (RL). Safe RL is an important topic that could enable real applications of RL systems by addressing safety constraints. Existing safe RL assumes the availability of specified safety constraints in mathematical or logical forms.

This project aims to investigate human-guided safe reinforcement learning (RL). Safe RL is an important topic that could enable real applications of RL systems by addressing safety constraints. Existing safe RL assumes the availability of specified safety constraints in mathematical or logical forms. This project proposes to study learning safety objectives from information provided directly by humans or indirectly via language models, and human-guided continuous correction for safety improvements. The established theories and developed algorithms will advance frontier technologies in AI and contribute to a wide range of real applications of safe RL, such as robotics and autonomous driving, bringing enormous social and economic benefits.

High Quality-of-Experience Real-time Video for Smart Online Shopping. This project aims to develop high quality-of-experience real-time video systems for smart shopping applications by devising new deep-neural-network-enhanced video delivery schemes. It will generate new knowledge of combined AI and network solutions to achieve high-quality and low-latency real-time video delivery, addressing unsatisfactory user experience intrinsically caused by network delay and bandwidth. Fundamental principl ....High Quality-of-Experience Real-time Video for Smart Online Shopping. This project aims to develop high quality-of-experience real-time video systems for smart shopping applications by devising new deep-neural-network-enhanced video delivery schemes. It will generate new knowledge of combined AI and network solutions to achieve high-quality and low-latency real-time video delivery, addressing unsatisfactory user experience intrinsically caused by network delay and bandwidth. Fundamental principles and an all-in-one platform will be developed to address research problems and the industrial partner’s practical problems. It will significantly benefit all shopping businesses and their customers in Australia, as well as all other video-related services (e.g., online education, video conferencing, etc.).Read moreRead less
