Asymptotic Geometric Analysis and Machine Learning. Phenomena in large dimensions appear in a number of domains of Mathematics and adjacent domains of science (e.g. Computer Science), dealing with functions of infinitely growing number of parameters. Here, we focus on several questions naturally linked to Asymptotic Geometric Analysis which have natural applications to Statistical Learning Theory. We intend to use geometric, probabilistic and combinatorial methods to investigate these problems, ....Asymptotic Geometric Analysis and Machine Learning. Phenomena in large dimensions appear in a number of domains of Mathematics and adjacent domains of science (e.g. Computer Science), dealing with functions of infinitely growing number of parameters. Here, we focus on several questions naturally linked to Asymptotic Geometric Analysis which have natural applications to Statistical Learning Theory. We intend to use geometric, probabilistic and combinatorial methods to investigate these problems, with an emphasis on modern tools in Empirical Processes Theory and the theory of Random Matrices.Read moreRead less
Geometric parameters in Learning Theory. We aim to investigate the behaviour of geometric parameters which appear naturally in Statistical Learning Theory. Those parameters are used to control the sample complexity, which is the size of a random sample needed to produce an accurate prediction. They are also of independent interest in the local theory of Banach spaces. We shall use geometric methods originating in the local theory of Banach spaces to investigate the parameters and the way they in ....Geometric parameters in Learning Theory. We aim to investigate the behaviour of geometric parameters which appear naturally in Statistical Learning Theory. Those parameters are used to control the sample complexity, which is the size of a random sample needed to produce an accurate prediction. They are also of independent interest in the local theory of Banach spaces. We shall use geometric methods originating in the local theory of Banach spaces to investigate the parameters and the way they influence sample complexity. All the problems we focus on are not only important from the Machine Learning point of view, but are intriguing in their theoretical implications.Read moreRead less
Reconceiving Machine Learning. The proposed research will develop a new way to consider problems to which machine learning can be applied. Machine learning is crucial enabler of the digital economy. The research will provide better opportunities for Australian industry to gain a competitive advantage with machine learning technology. The framework developed will enable better opportunities for collaborative research and will build and strengthen international linkages.
Dimensional Control of Stamped Components for Optimized Assembly Operations. Dimensional control is one of the most important challenges in automotive body assembly. The aim of this project is to develop a method of characterizing dimensional variation in a stamped sheet formed parts such that the effect of this variation on assemblies can be analysed. This will lead to an approach to flexible fixturing to minimizing assembly dimensional variation and improve dimensional quality.
Developing Reliable Bio-Crypto Features for Mobile Template Protection. Cost of identity theft crimes were at multi-million dollars in Australia in 2007. Technically this is due to the fact that conventional personal identification number and token based security mechanisms cannot identify genuine users. Biometric fingerprint security systems emerge as a promising solution. However protection of the mobile embedded fingerprint template itself is an unresolved problem. The project aims to devel ....Developing Reliable Bio-Crypto Features for Mobile Template Protection. Cost of identity theft crimes were at multi-million dollars in Australia in 2007. Technically this is due to the fact that conventional personal identification number and token based security mechanisms cannot identify genuine users. Biometric fingerprint security systems emerge as a promising solution. However protection of the mobile embedded fingerprint template itself is an unresolved problem. The project aims to develop new ways designing bio-cryptosystems that provide strong security strength. The project will bring new body of knowledge into this field and place Australia in the forefront of this research, and also result in strengthened security of IT infrastructure and systems for industries.Read moreRead less
Kernel and Margin Based Machine Learning Algorithms. Certain machine learning algorithms, such as support vector machines, utilizing
the ideas of large margins and kernels have attracted much attention lately
because of their impressive performance on real world problems such as optical
character recognition. We plan to refine and extend such algorithms to a wide
range of different machine learning problems such as gene sequence analysis,
image processing and text classification. Expected ....Kernel and Margin Based Machine Learning Algorithms. Certain machine learning algorithms, such as support vector machines, utilizing

because of their impressive performance on real world problems such as optical

range of different machine learning problems such as gene sequence analysis,

development of software that allows the solution of hitherto unsolved machine
learning problems, and the ability to solve problems larger than those solvable
by the current generation of machine learning tools.Read moreRead less
