Exposing the anonymous attacker: detecting identity crimes using real-time entity resolution on large dynamic databases. Given the increasingly large costs of identity crimes in Australia, developing improved electronic identity verification techniques is highly significant in reducing losses from such crimes, making the Australian economy more competitive, and increasing consumer confidence in Australian financial institutions.

Given the increasingly large costs of identity crimes in Australia, developing improved electronic identity verification techniques is highly significant in reducing losses from such crimes, making the Australian economy more competitive, and increasing consumer confidence in Australian financial institutions. Veda Advantage is widely used for identity verification by Australian financial service providers, so the benefits of the techniques developed in this project will automatically flow through to the Australian community. These techniques will be sufficiently generic to be of use for real-time identity verification in a broad range of applications, including e-Government portals, electronic banking, online stores, or national security systems.Read moreRead less
Development, implementation and private and public sector adoption of Standard Business Reporting in Australia. Standard Business Reporting is a government response to the business regulatory burden and streamlines business to government reporting, but involves some cost to business in its initial uptake. This project examines the adoption decisions made and their consequences for business entities choosing to use this voluntary reporting channel.

This project aims to establish a large-scale, real-world experimental facility for the Internet of Things (IoT), which is currently missing in Australia, as well as in the rest of the world. The project is expected to be an essential instrument to achieve Australia’s leadership on key enabling technologies of the IoT, and to provide Australian research community with a unique platform for large-scale experimentation and evaluation of IoT technologies and services. The project will also serve as a vehicle for the education and training of Australia’s next generation of scholars and engineers, and contribute to Australia’s scientific visibility.Read moreRead less
Data sharing with strong privacy against inference attacks. This project aims to develop theories and techniques for strong protection of personal information in sharing large datasets such as national health data or census records. It intends to achieve this through developing new information theoretic methods for synthesising datasets with proven high fidelity and protection against re-identification and inference attacks, where attackers try to learn probability of sensitive data.

This project aims to develop theories and techniques for strong protection of personal information in sharing large datasets such as national health data or census records. It intends to achieve this through developing new information theoretic methods for synthesising datasets with proven high fidelity and protection against re-identification and inference attacks, where attackers try to learn probability of sensitive data. The expected outcomes are algorithms for public and private sector data curators to dial up or down their data access arrangements based on privacy risks and fidelity demands linked with different data types and uses. This project intends to enable Australians to securely benefit from valuable data in decision making.Read moreRead less

This project will also serve as a vehicle to educate and train Australia’s young scholars and engineers.Read moreRead less
Robust Preference Inference from Spatial-Temporal Interaction Networks. This project aims to develop innovative techniques for effectively and efficiently managing user preference profiles from less labelled, sparse and noisy interaction data. A unified novel learning framework along with a set of data analysis techniques are expected to be developed from this project, which will provide a non-intrusive way of conducting predictive analysis on user preference profiling via discovering human expl ....Robust Preference Inference from Spatial-Temporal Interaction Networks. This project aims to develop innovative techniques for effectively and efficiently managing user preference profiles from less labelled, sparse and noisy interaction data. A unified novel learning framework along with a set of data analysis techniques are expected to be developed from this project, which will provide a non-intrusive way of conducting predictive analysis on user preference profiling via discovering human explicit and implicit interest domains. The expected results of this application will not only maintain Australia's leadership in this frontier research area, but also support many important applications that safeguard Australian people and economy such as cyber security, healthcare, and e-Commerce.Read moreRead less
