This project tackles the challenging problem of personalised predictive analytics with resource-constrained personal devices and massive-scale data. The knowledge to be generated concerns privacy, fairness, and resource efficiency in the era of Internet of Things. The expected outcomes include a collaborative learning paradigm for building personalised models on personal smart devices in open and fully decentralised settings. Privacy and model fairness are core tenets of the paradigm. Personalised predictive analytics is frontier research that will position Australia at the forefront of AI and give business the tools needed to deploy innovative business systems for market exploitation with a secure, equitable and competitive advantage.Read moreRead less
Making Spatiotemporal Data More Useful: An Entity Linking Approach. This project aims to establish a methodology for spatiotemporal entity linking by utilising object movement traces to support database integration and data quality management for the next-generation of data where spatiotemporal attributes are ubiquitous. It expects to develop a novel entity linking paradigm for automatic, efficient and reliable spatiotemporal data integration together with a new data privacy study in this contex ....Making Spatiotemporal Data More Useful: An Entity Linking Approach. This project aims to establish a methodology for spatiotemporal entity linking by utilising object movement traces to support database integration and data quality management for the next-generation of data where spatiotemporal attributes are ubiquitous. It expects to develop a novel entity linking paradigm for automatic, efficient and reliable spatiotemporal data integration together with a new data privacy study in this context. Expected outcome include new database technologies for data signature generation and similarity-based search, and improved location data privacy protection methods. This project should provide significant benefits to all areas where high quality spatiotemporal data fusion is essential to meaningful data analysis.Read moreRead less

Minimising Human Efforts to Fight Fake News and Restore the Public Trust. Our modern society is struggling with an unprecedented amount of online fake news, which is recently driven by misused artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This project aims to build the first real-time system integrating algorithmic models and human validators to counter such falsehoods, especially those AI-fabricated false stories.

Our modern society is struggling with an unprecedented amount of online fake news, which is recently driven by misused artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This project aims to build the first real-time system integrating algorithmic models and human validators to counter such falsehoods, especially those AI-fabricated false stories. This project expects to deliver a series of cost-effective and streaming methods empowering a Web-based observatory dashboard of fake news propagation. This achieves significant benefits for media organisations, governments, the public, and academia via timely alerts, data-journalism reports, and novel data visualisations of social media landscape to distinguish between legitimate and deceptive contents.Read moreRead less
Challenging big data for scalable, robust and real-time recommendations. With the advent of big data era, recommender systems are facing unprecedented challenges with respect to the four dimensions of big data: big volume, low veracity, high velocity and high variety. This project aims to develop a new generation of cost-effective techniques for scalable, robust and real-time recommendations utilising big data. This project aims to address these challenges to achieve scalable, robust and real-ti ....Challenging big data for scalable, robust and real-time recommendations. With the advent of big data era, recommender systems are facing unprecedented challenges with respect to the four dimensions of big data: big volume, low veracity, high velocity and high variety. This project aims to develop a new generation of cost-effective techniques for scalable, robust and real-time recommendations utilising big data. This project aims to address these challenges to achieve scalable, robust and real-time recommendations. This project will devise a series of cost-effective machine learning methods and schemes to deliver an end-to-end recommender framework. This project has the potential to significantly reduce the energy consumption of large-scale recommender systems as well as facilitating an increase in the use of recommendation applications for big data.Read moreRead less
Building crowd sourced data curation processes. This project aims to tackle the growing problem of data curation. The capacity to effectively utilise the increasing number of datasets available to organisations for timely decision making is diminishing, due to onerous data preparation and curation tasks that have to be performed before the data can be consumed by analytics platforms. The project will be a first attempt at using a novel process-oriented approach in micro-task crowdsourcing, and w ....Building crowd sourced data curation processes. This project aims to tackle the growing problem of data curation. The capacity to effectively utilise the increasing number of datasets available to organisations for timely decision making is diminishing, due to onerous data preparation and curation tasks that have to be performed before the data can be consumed by analytics platforms. The project will be a first attempt at using a novel process-oriented approach in micro-task crowdsourcing, and will create new knowledge to harness the full potential of crowd sourced data curation. This is expected to make a significant benefit towards enhanced organisational capacity to accelerate the time-to-value from data analytics projects.Read moreRead less

Towards Explainable Multi-source Multivariate Time-series Analysis. The aim of this project is to build deep learning models with transparent reasoning behind the results that can be easily interpreted by humans. The research rests on translating pertinent knowledge from multiple sources of complex data containing event sequences into graph form and embedding those knowledge graphs into a sophisticated deep learning model.

The aim of this project is to build deep learning models with transparent reasoning behind the results that can be easily interpreted by humans. The research rests on translating pertinent knowledge from multiple sources of complex data containing event sequences into graph form and embedding those knowledge graphs into a sophisticated deep learning model. Such an accomplishment represents the next great advance in machine intelligence and will lay the theoretical foundations for building intelligent analysis tools that truly work in tandem with people. The potential benefits to science, society, and the Australian economy, particularly in finance, sensor technologies, and emergency health services would be appreciable.Read moreRead less
