Information Extraction from Large-scale Low-quality Data. Information extraction which identifies entities and relations from data is a key technology that lays the foundation for understanding the semantics of data. This project aims to investigate the problem of information extraction by innovatively exploring the informality and temporal evolution of data. It expects to develop novel techniques for reliable, efficient, and scalable information discovery from large-scale low-quality data.

Information extraction which identifies entities and relations from data is a key technology that lays the foundation for understanding the semantics of data. This project aims to investigate the problem of information extraction by innovatively exploring the informality and temporal evolution of data. It expects to develop novel techniques for reliable, efficient, and scalable information discovery from large-scale low-quality data. Expected outcomes include a set of collective, contextualised, and temporal-aware algorithms for information extraction and integration, built on top of effective indexing and in-parallel processing. This project is anticipated to benefit a considerable number of data-driven intelligence-based applications.Read moreRead less
QualA-D: a quality aware query engine for next generation data integration systems.

First-of-breed quality aware query system is expected to be developed that will assist in improving user experience and satisfaction.
Real-time Analytics on Urban Trajectory Data for Road Traffic Management. This project aims to develop real-time analytics and data management capabilities that leverage large-scale urban trajectory data to provide road operators with real-time insights into population movements and enable data-driven, customer-centric network operations. Current traffic management practices rely heavily on aggregate vehicle count data from fixed road sensors, which have limitations in accurately measuring traff ....Real-time Analytics on Urban Trajectory Data for Road Traffic Management. This project aims to develop real-time analytics and data management capabilities that leverage large-scale urban trajectory data to provide road operators with real-time insights into population movements and enable data-driven, customer-centric network operations. Current traffic management practices rely heavily on aggregate vehicle count data from fixed road sensors, which have limitations in accurately measuring traffic demand and network congestion propagation. This project seeks to develop innovative technologies to use a wide variety of data sources, especially massive trajectories of vehicles moving across the network, to better understand people's travel demands and road usage patterns and thus better manage the transport system.

Searching Activity Trajectories for Intention Oriented Recommendations. The ubiquitous fusion of social network services and Global Positioning System-enabled mobile devices has generated large-scale activity trajectory data representing the footprint of people's daily activities.

The ubiquitous fusion of social network services and Global Positioning System-enabled mobile devices has generated large-scale activity trajectory data representing the footprint of people's daily activities. It presents an unprecedented opportunity to build highly intelligent recommendation systems. Existing approaches that merely focus on the location aspect of trajectories are limited in their ability to understand genuine preferences from travel histories, due to lack of consideration for activity information as well as the associated semantics and context. This project aims to address these issues and provide effective recommendations by considering both users’ intention and collective behavioural knowledge inferred from activity trajectories.Read moreRead less
Monitoring social events for user online behaviour analytics. This project aims to investigate the influence of public attention on steering user online behaviour.

This project aims to investigate the influence of public attention on steering user online behaviour. The exponential growth of online behaviour data makes online behaviour analytics increasingly important in social, commercial and political environments, but existing methods rely on user profiles only. The project will unify external social events with user profiles for behaviour analytics, and develop approaches for event database indexing, event-influenced behaviour modelling and prediction. The success of this project is expected to enhance users’ online experience and improve e-commerce’s market value.Read moreRead less

This project aims to develop a database for data storage, cleaning, compression, hierarchal summarisation, indexing and query processing for machination data.Database management systems are needed to support stream query processing and manage historical data to support complex data analytics, data mining and data-driven decision making. Machination data, often found in sensor networks, GPS and RFID applications, vehicle on-board devices and medical monitoring devices are difficult to manage and process because of large volumes and streaming, high redundancy and low value density. This project is expected to stream machination data management to support scalable query processing and data analytics.Read moreRead less

The Information and communication technology (ICT) benefit of this project is associated with the novel online algorithms and models aligned with the stream data research, and will be enhanced by our stream compression techniques. The stream data analyser developed in this project will be suitable for more than medical surveillance data; it will also improve the processing of other kinds of massive stream data (for example data from remote sensors, communication networks and other dynamic environments). The project involves a scientifically rich collaboration that will enhance the skills of PhD students and staff and drive the field forward.Read moreRead less
