This project aims to explore practical privacy-preserving solutions for cloud data mining-as-a-service based on the Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX) technology. The research addresses privacy concerns of users when outsourcing data mining needs to the cloud. These concerns have increased as more businesses evaluate data mining-as-an outsourced service due to lack of expertise or computation resources. The expected outcomes from the research will include new data privacy models, new privacy-preserving data mining algorithms, and a prototype of cloud data mining software. These will help businesses cut costs for data mining and privacy protection, and provide significant benefits toward helping Australia achieve its national cyber security strategy and potentially provide economic impact from commercialisation of new software technology for the industry partner.Read moreRead less

A data science framework for modelling disease patterns from medical images. This project aims to extract models of disease patterns from medical imaging data, using deep learning, smart image processing, machine learning, and statistical modelling to quantify and model patterns conventional methods cannot detect. These disease models are expected to improve understanding of particular diseases and enable precision medicine, which recognises that there are important differences between individuals with a particular disease, and that when patients are separated into sub-populations with similar disease patterns, treatment can be tailored to these sub-populations.Read moreRead less
Smart Information Processing for Roadside Fire Risk Assessment Using Computational Intelligence and Pattern Recognition. This project proposes a novel approach for identifying roadside fire risks using pattern recognition and computational intelligence techniques.

This project proposes a novel approach for identifying roadside fire risks using pattern recognition and computational intelligence techniques. The video data is collected over every state road in Queensland annually, and has the potential to provide a range of value-added products for safer roads. This project aims to develop new techniques for identification of roadside objects so that the data can be automatically analysed allowing the estimation of fire risk factors. The final outcome intends to be techniques for segmentation and classification of roadside objects and estimation of fire risk factors.Read moreRead less
Human Cues for Robot Navigation. The world has many navigational cues for the benefit of humans: sign posts, maps and the wealth of information on the internet. Yet, to date, robotic navigation has made little use of this abundant symbolic information as a resource. This project will develop a robot navigation system that can navigate using information beyond the robot's range sensors by incorporating knowledge gained by reading room labels, following human route directions or interpreting maps ....Human Cues for Robot Navigation. The world has many navigational cues for the benefit of humans: sign posts, maps and the wealth of information on the internet. Yet, to date, robotic navigation has made little use of this abundant symbolic information as a resource. This project will develop a robot navigation system that can navigate using information beyond the robot's range sensors by incorporating knowledge gained by reading room labels, following human route directions or interpreting maps found on the web. This project will demonstrate the robot's navigation ability by comparing its performance with a human as it learns to find its way around campus by asking for directions, reading signs and maps, and searching the internet for clues.Read moreRead less
Machine Learning for Fracture Risk Assessment from Simple Radiography. This project aims to develop a novel, reliable, low-cost system to detect poor bone health and assess fracture risk to help to prevent and manage osteoporosis-related fractures. Currently, osteoporosis-related fractures cost our health system millions of dollars annually and costs are increasing with our ageing population. Early detection of poor bone health will improve the effectiveness of preventive measures and ease this ....Machine Learning for Fracture Risk Assessment from Simple Radiography. This project aims to develop a novel, reliable, low-cost system to detect poor bone health and assess fracture risk to help to prevent and manage osteoporosis-related fractures. Currently, osteoporosis-related fractures cost our health system millions of dollars annually and costs are increasing with our ageing population. Early detection of poor bone health will improve the effectiveness of preventive measures and ease this burden. Current methods include unreliable, crude clinical and visual guides that suggest osteoporosis screening. The project plans to develop a novel system by applying machine learning algorithms to radiology data which is commonly captured for diagnosing other conditions.Read moreRead less
Evaluating and developing the evidence-base and data mining approaches to strengthen the consumer product safety system in Australia. Consumer product-related injuries cause over 173,000 injuries per year though there is limited evidence about the causes and risks to enable early identification and warnings for consumers. This project will evaluate the evidence-base and develop new methods to support an early identification and surveillance system for product-related injuries.
Omniscient face recognition for uncooperative subjects. The outcomes of this project will enable effective video surveillance technology to be developed for use by law enforcement and national security agencies. It will lead to reliable identification of humans at a distance by automatically detecting and recognising faces, for use in counter-terrorism surveillance and commercial robot-human interfaces.
Biomedical Visual Image Analytics for Multi-disciplinary Retrieval. The project aims to develop a framework to provide users with the interactive access to information that is necessary for the best collaborative decision-making. Visual analytics theory is becoming increasing valuable for managing ‘big data’ because it can provide interactive and intuitive understanding of the rich information embedded within complex data and decision support systems.

The project aims to develop a framework to provide users with the interactive access to information that is necessary for the best collaborative decision-making. Visual analytics theory is becoming increasing valuable for managing ‘big data’ because it can provide interactive and intuitive understanding of the rich information embedded within complex data and decision support systems. There are, however, fundamental challenges that currently prevent visual analytics from being routinely applied to multi-disciplinary collaboration, which is now ‘the norm’ to solve large complicated problems where there is significant social impact. This project aims to address these challenges and improve visual analytics theory by developing a biomedical visual image analytics framework that enables interactive information retrieval of multidisciplinary databases.Read moreRead less

Computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models:
The computational infrastructure for developing deep machine learning models aims to enable new developments in machine learning of deep neural network models by providing the specialised computing necessary to train and evaluate the networks. In the last three years, deep networks have smashed previous performance ceilings for tasks such as object recognition in images, speech recognition and automatic translation, bringing the prospect of machine intelligence closer than ever. Modern machine learning techniques have had huge impact in the last decade in fields such as robotics, computer vision and data analytics. The facility would enable Australian researchers to develop, learn and apply deep networks to problems of national importance in robotic vision and big data analytics. Read moreRead less
