This project aims to characterise driver awareness, activity and interactions with other vehicle occupants using visual and audio cues from internally mounted sensors. Road accidents cost Australia an estimated $30 billion per year and tragic loss of thousands of lives, yet the vast majority of severe vehicle crashes are linked to driver fatigue or distraction. The expected project outcomes include advanced artificial intelligence to infer and predict dangerous driver and passenger behaviour. This has the potential to significantly benefit society by advancing autonomous driving capabilities and reducing driver-induced accidents and fatalities, ensuring that every driver, passenger and pedestrian arrives home safely at the end of each day.Read moreRead less
Data mining complex transactional and criminal networks. Money laundering, if undetected, poses a major concern for governments and communities. The software system platform for detecting money laundering networks from this project will be the first that can assist intelligence data analysts to detect unknown money laundering networks faster and more accurately, helping fight crimes more efficiently.

This project aims to develop a set of cross-domain knowledge transfer methodologies to support Data-Driven Decision-Making (D3M) systems. D3M is essential in business, particularly for ever-changing environments in today’s big data era, but D3Ms for solving new problems may face in-domain data insufficiency. The challenge is to effectively transfer knowledge from multiple heterogeneous source domains. The outcomes are expected to transfer implicit and explicit knowledge, handle discrete and continuous outputs, and support business decision-making, which should advance the discipline of transfer learning and data-driven DSS in dynamically changing environments.Read moreRead less

This project’s objective is to build new tools for the next generation of real-time decision making. As the datasphere grows more complex, meaningful decision support already requires a strong capacity for knowledge transfer, substantial robustness to uncertainty, and real-time analytics. Today’s methods are struggling to meet these challenges. The new schema to be devised combines fuzzy logic, transfer learning, reinforcement learning and deep neural networks. These integrations will lay the foundations for real-time decision-making solutions over the next decade and will advance machine learning under uncertainty. Immediate applications include structural health monitoring, climate prediction and telecommunications maintenance. Read moreRead less
