QualA-D: a quality aware query engine for next generation data integration systems. This project will address the growing diversity of the web/user community by developing new approaches for data integration that incorporate data quality requirements such as data currency, completeness and coverage. First-of-breed quality aware query system is expected to be developed that will assist in improving user experience and satisfaction.
Scalable Cross-Media Hashing for Searching Heterogeneous Data Sources. This project aims to use novel indexing and search approaches to realise the value of multimedia data. The ever-increasing availability and heterogeneity of multimedia data are calling for new approaches to search information across different media types and data sources. This project aims to enable accurate and real-time cross-media searches from billions of multimedia objects collected from various media sources by tackling ....Scalable Cross-Media Hashing for Searching Heterogeneous Data Sources. This project aims to use novel indexing and search approaches to realise the value of multimedia data. The ever-increasing availability and heterogeneity of multimedia data are calling for new approaches to search information across different media types and data sources. This project aims to enable accurate and real-time cross-media searches from billions of multimedia objects collected from various media sources by tackling the heterogeneity and scalability issues. Expected outcomes include scalable cross-media hashing techniques to capture implicit correlations existing in heterogeneous data and embed high-dimensional features into short binary codes; new binary code indexing and ranking schemes to further improve search speed and quality; and a large-scale cross-media system to evaluate methods and demonstrate the practical value.Read moreRead less
Realising the value of mobile videos with context awareness. Innovative approaches to analysing online video content and context will lead to new ways of interacting with video in the mobile world. This project will aim to develop real-time mobile systems for enabling rich and highly dynamic digital video experiences through context-aware indexing, retrieval and consumption of mobile videos.
Digital noticeboards for remote Aboriginal communities: bringing web 2.0 participation to non-western cultures with low English and technical literacy. Remote Aboriginal communities suffer from geographic and cultural isolation. Web 2.0 offers a solution yet is ill-suited to traditional collective cultures, those with low English and technical literacy, and the poor. This project will produce novel public web-enabled touchscreen noticeboards and table tops suited to traditional cultures.
