Short Sequence Representation Learning with Limited Supervision . Predicting events based on short text and video data is widely found in real-world applications such as online crime detection, cyber-attack identification, and public security protection. However, to develop such an effective prediction model is very difficult due to the problems such as limited supervision, heterogeneous multiple sources, and missing and low-quality data.

Predicting events based on short text and video data is widely found in real-world applications such as online crime detection, cyber-attack identification, and public security protection. However, to develop such an effective prediction model is very difficult due to the problems such as limited supervision, heterogeneous multiple sources, and missing and low-quality data. This project is to tackle these challenges. Expected outcome of this project will lay a theoretical foundation for effective short sequence representation learning and build next-generation intelligent systems. This should benefit our society and economy through the applications of multimodality-integrated video technologies for cybersecurity and public safety. Read moreRead less
Interactive and scalable media over software defined networks. A novel API and associated algorithms will be developed to exploit the emerging technology of software defined networks (SDN) for improving the efficiency and responsiveness of interactive media browsing applications. The approach applies to conventional streaming video as well as more interactive services based on scalable media compression and communication technology, notably JPIP (IS15444-9) video. Recent advances in motion codin ....Interactive and scalable media over software defined networks. A novel API and associated algorithms will be developed to exploit the emerging technology of software defined networks (SDN) for improving the efficiency and responsiveness of interactive media browsing applications. The approach applies to conventional streaming video as well as more interactive services based on scalable media compression and communication technology, notably JPIP (IS15444-9) video. Recent advances in motion coding will be combined with new spatio-temporal transforms to develop an efficient inter-frame extension to the JPEG 2000 standard that is fully compatible with JPIP. Each of these innovations is important in its own right, but together they will facilitate a highly compelling interactive media browsing experience.Read moreRead less
A general Bayesian multilinear analysis framework for human behaviour recognition. Smart information use is essential for effective video surveillance in order to guard against accidents, fight crime and combat terrorism. In this project advanced probabilistic methods will be applied to visual surveillance information, to warn of impending accidents and to track criminals and terrorists and predict their behaviours.

This project aims to propose new algorithms and technologies for constructing an efficient video analysis system, which will be aligned with Australia’s science and research priorities. Specifically, during this project, a novel network structure search method based on auto machine learning will be proposed, an unsupervised domain adaptation algorithm will be developed, and a generative data augmentation method will be constructed. All of these will construct a stable and efficient deep neural network, which is able to process large size videos captured from real scenarios in high efficiencies. Various fields, such as health care service and cybersecurity, will benefit hugely from this project.Read moreRead less

Towards extreme object detection. This project aims to provide a comprehensive and practical extreme object detection system considering three extreme object detection challenges, that is small and distance objects, occluded objects and sparse (rare) objects. Reliable extreme object detection is critical for intelligent agents in many aspects and is becoming increasingly important for developing a smart nation by building intelligent transportation and smart cities.

This project aims to provide a comprehensive and practical extreme object detection system considering three extreme object detection challenges, that is small and distance objects, occluded objects and sparse (rare) objects. Reliable extreme object detection is critical for intelligent agents in many aspects and is becoming increasingly important for developing a smart nation by building intelligent transportation and smart cities. To design and develop such an effective system, this project provides novel scale-invariant learning, occlusion-robust learning and semi-supervised learning solutions to address the corresponding challenges. The project is expected to have a significant impact on a broad array of application areas including autonomous vehicles, robotics, and intelligent surveillance cameras.Read moreRead less
