The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Visual Solutions for Automated Translation Between Spoken and Signed Languages. We propose to build a robust visual speech recognition system that analyzes images of spoken language and achieves a recognition of the utterances with at least human expert recognition rates. This visual speech recognition system will then be integrated with our existing gesture recognition system to improve performance, just as humans combine visual and audio data for language understanding. The result will be a sy ....Visual Solutions for Automated Translation Between Spoken and Signed Languages. We propose to build a robust visual speech recognition system that analyzes images of spoken language and achieves a recognition of the utterances with at least human expert recognition rates. This visual speech recognition system will then be integrated with our existing gesture recognition system to improve performance, just as humans combine visual and audio data for language understanding. The result will be a system providing translation between English and the Australian sign language Auslan in a practical application domain. Significantly, our work will provide insights into the cognitive models of neural activity linking language and gesture.Read moreRead less
Analysis of Polynomial Phase Signals with Missing Observations. Many non-stationary signals in radar, physics and communications can be modelled as polynomial phase signals. These signals are often incomplete due to missing observations from intermittent sensor failures, outliers, receiver errors, periodic interference and inaccessibility of data. The aim of this project is to develop robust and computationally efficient methods for recovering such signals from small data sets when there is a la ....Analysis of Polynomial Phase Signals with Missing Observations. Many non-stationary signals in radar, physics and communications can be modelled as polynomial phase signals. These signals are often incomplete due to missing observations from intermittent sensor failures, outliers, receiver errors, periodic interference and inaccessibility of data. The aim of this project is to develop robust and computationally efficient methods for recovering such signals from small data sets when there is a large proportion of missing observations. This will contribute to a conceptual advancement in the field of signal processing and will provide new methods for use in applications such as radar, astrophysics, seismology, vibration analysis and communications.Read moreRead less
