Monitoring online topic evolvements with near-duplicate videos. This project will make a major impact on social media mining, and open up a new research direction for topic discovery. The project's advances will bring economic/social benefits to Australia, where collaborative access of large amount of Web/media information is vital, for example, data sharing and management, broadcasting, advertising, opinion gathering, etc.
Effective and Efficient Query Processing over Dynamic Social Networks. This project aims to invent novel query-based social network data exploration techniques which would help individuals or organisations make smart decisions based on data from increasingly massive, complex and dynamic social networks. Expected project outcomes are formal result semantics, advanced indices, efficient query evaluation algorithms and scalable techniques for three types of commonly used queries. The project plans ....Effective and Efficient Query Processing over Dynamic Social Networks. This project aims to invent novel query-based social network data exploration techniques which would help individuals or organisations make smart decisions based on data from increasingly massive, complex and dynamic social networks. Expected project outcomes are formal result semantics, advanced indices, efficient query evaluation algorithms and scalable techniques for three types of commonly used queries. The project plans to develop a system prototype to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approaches and techniques. Query-based dynamic social network data exploration techniques developed in this project may have practical applications including event and influential topic discovery and tracking, buying trend analysis and political issues analysis.Read moreRead less
Next-generation Intelligent Explorations of Geo-located Data . This project aims to build a next-generation intelligent exploration framework over massive geo-located data, varying from points-of-interest to areas-of-interest data, in order to dramatically enhance user experiences when interacting with various forms of geo-located data over maps. Expected outcomes include novel exploration models, efficient and scalable algorithms for retrieving and visualizing the exploration results, online up ....Next-generation Intelligent Explorations of Geo-located Data . This project aims to build a next-generation intelligent exploration framework over massive geo-located data, varying from points-of-interest to areas-of-interest data, in order to dramatically enhance user experiences when interacting with various forms of geo-located data over maps. Expected outcomes include novel exploration models, efficient and scalable algorithms for retrieving and visualizing the exploration results, online updating of personal preferences during the life cycle of exploration, as well as a prototype system to evaluate and demonstrate practical value of the research. It will complement existing map services and significantly benefit many location-aware services, e.g., logistics, health services and urban planning.Read moreRead less

Effective Recommendation for Web of Things. This project seeks to generate novel techniques for the efficient recommendation of things by the smart use of information generated from the ‘Internet of things’. The ‘Internet of things’ will connect billions of physical things over the web, which will offer exciting capabilities to improve the quality of human lives. This project focuses on effective recommendation of things of interest, and aims to develop new techniques and a set of software tools ....Effective Recommendation for Web of Things. This project seeks to generate novel techniques for the efficient recommendation of things by the smart use of information generated from the ‘Internet of things’. The ‘Internet of things’ will connect billions of physical things over the web, which will offer exciting capabilities to improve the quality of human lives. This project focuses on effective recommendation of things of interest, and aims to develop new techniques and a set of software tools for effectively and proactively discovering and recommending things. The result of this project may underpin applications (eg smart cities) that will contribute to Australian society and the national economy.Read moreRead less

Detection of location significance from quality enhanced trajectory data. This project aims to develop effective and efficient methods to utilise large scale Global Positioning System, route and location data to provide individuals, business, government and social groups, the ability to assess the relative significance of locations and associated services, for use in applications such as transportation, logistics, public safety, tourism and utilities.
In-memory moving objects analytics for real-time business applications. This project aims to develop a novel computing foundation based on in-memory technologies to address significant challenges of big data and location-based business intelligence, building upon the well-recognised research excellence in spatiotemporal data management at the University of Queensland, and HANA, SAP's (Systems, Applications, Products in data processing) new in-memory analytics platform.
Declaration, Exploration, Enhancement and Provenance: The DEEP Approach to Data Quality Management Systems. The project proposes the Declaration, Exploration, Enhancement, Provenance (DEEP) approach to data quality management. The approach adopts a whole-of-data-cycle view towards addressing complex and emerging problems in data quality management and aims to develop novel and comprehensive mechanisms to improve data quality measurement, enforcement and monitoring. Due to the application-centric ....Declaration, Exploration, Enhancement and Provenance: The DEEP Approach to Data Quality Management Systems. The project proposes the Declaration, Exploration, Enhancement, Provenance (DEEP) approach to data quality management. The approach adopts a whole-of-data-cycle view towards addressing complex and emerging problems in data quality management and aims to develop novel and comprehensive mechanisms to improve data quality measurement, enforcement and monitoring. Due to the application-centric nature of DEEP, the outcomes from the project are expected to increase user understanding of data characteristics, improve interpretability of information derived from large, multi-source data sets and contribute to enhancement of data literacy levels in involved user communities.

Continuous intent tracking for virtual assistance using big contextual data. Recently launched Virtual Assistant products such as Amazon Echo and Google Home are commanded by voice and can call apps to do simple tasks like setting timers and playing music. The next-generation virtual assistants will recommend things to be done proactively rather than waiting for commands passively. This project aims to develop algorithms that can predict what a user intends to do and therefore help virtual assis ....Continuous intent tracking for virtual assistance using big contextual data. Recently launched Virtual Assistant products such as Amazon Echo and Google Home are commanded by voice and can call apps to do simple tasks like setting timers and playing music. The next-generation virtual assistants will recommend things to be done proactively rather than waiting for commands passively. This project aims to develop algorithms that can predict what a user intends to do and therefore help virtual assistants make recommendations that suit users’ needs accurately. It will benefit many service industry sectors of Australia by enabling virtual assistants to provide services proactively.Read moreRead less
