Sensor data streams are crucial for anomaly predictions in real-life monitoring. However, balancing efficiency and accuracy in predicting anomalies with sensor streams is a great challenge; it requires new techniques that go beyond detecting anomalies and predicting trends. This project will develop a deep mining method for anomaly prediction from sensor streams; it will comprise mining algorithms at various levels - from compressing massive raw data, to recognition of abnormal waveforms preceding anomalies, and to retrieving and summarising similar past anomalies for creating descriptions of future anomalies. The project will demonstrate our method in health/environment monitoring applications, and its adoption will save resources, money and lives.Read moreRead less
Deep analytics of non-occurring but important behaviours. This project aims to build a systematic theory for the deep analytics of complex and important occurring and non-occurring behaviours. Behaviours that should occur but do not take place, called non-occurring behaviours (NOB), are widely evident but easily overlooked, such as missed important medical treatments. While often occurring behaviours are focused, such NOB may be associated with significant effects such as a threat to health. Thi ....Deep analytics of non-occurring but important behaviours. This project aims to build a systematic theory for the deep analytics of complex and important occurring and non-occurring behaviours. Behaviours that should occur but do not take place, called non-occurring behaviours (NOB), are widely evident but easily overlooked, such as missed important medical treatments. While often occurring behaviours are focused, such NOB may be associated with significant effects such as a threat to health. This project expects to fill the knowledge gaps in representing, analysing and evaluating NOB complexities and impact, with significant benefits for the evidence-based detection, prediction and risk management of covert NOB applications and their important effects.Read moreRead less
