New real-time risk indicators to improve the efficiency, environmental impact and safety of air traffic management. Air-traffic demand is constantly rising, and Australia is responsible for the management of 11 per cent of the world's airspace. This project aims to develop risk indicators which will enable us to monitor air-safety risks on a constantly updated basis.

Visual analytics for high volume multi attribute financial data streams. While our ability to accumulate data (such as financial data) is increasing, our capability to analyse them is still inadequate despite technological improvements. The new Visual Analytics methods will allow processing of the massive and time-varying data so that the time-critical decisions can be made with minimum effort.
Fuzzy Transfer Learning for Prediction in Data-Shortage and Rapidly-Changing Environments. Collecting sufficient up-to-date data to train a learning model for data analysis and prediction is difficult and expensive. This project will develop a Fuzzy Transfer Learning methodology, using Information Granularity theory, that exploits data with different features and/or distributions available in other, similar systems, to provide accurate learning-based prediction for current problems. It will esta ....Fuzzy Transfer Learning for Prediction in Data-Shortage and Rapidly-Changing Environments.

Cross-domain knowledge transfer for data-driven decision making. 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 t ....Cross-domain knowledge transfer for data-driven decision making. 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
