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

Sensor data streams are crucial for anomaly predictions in real-life monitoring. However, balancing efficiency and accuracy in predicting anomalies with sensor streams is a great challenge; it requires new techniques that go beyond detecting anomalies and predicting trends. This project will develop a deep mining method for anomaly prediction from sensor streams; it will comprise mining algorithms at various levels - from compressing massive raw data, to recognition of abnormal waveforms preceding anomalies, and to retrieving and summarising similar past anomalies for creating descriptions of future anomalies. The project will demonstrate our method in health/environment monitoring applications, and its adoption will save resources, money and lives.Read moreRead less
Knowledge discovery from data in the context of prior beliefs.

These new approaches will be specifically designed to greatly improve the understanding obtained from time varying data for trillions of global earth observation data points in an application-agnostic way that is applicable to many tasks. The outcomes are expected to advance the theory and practice of time-series data analysis and transform the analysis of complex dynamics. This should support innovation in industry, commerce, government and research and magnify benefit from many data investments including the $1 billion Australian governments invest annually in satellite imaging.Read moreRead less
Combining generative and discriminative strategies to facilitate efficient and effective learning from big data. Effective extraction of information from massive data stores is increasingly problematic as data quantities continue to grow rapidly. Quite simply, effective techniques for learning from small data do not scale. However, the problem is even worse than this. Big data contain more information than the small data in which context most state-of-the-art learning algorithms have been develo ....Combining generative and discriminative strategies to facilitate efficient and effective learning from big data. Effective extraction of information from massive data stores is increasingly problematic as data quantities continue to grow rapidly. Quite simply, effective techniques for learning from small data do not scale. However, the problem is even worse than this. Big data contain more information than the small data in which context most state-of-the-art learning algorithms have been developed. For small data overly detailed classifiers will overfit the data and so should be avoided. In contrast, big data provide fine detail and hence will benefit new types of learner that can capture it. This project will deliver learners that are not only capable of capturing this detail, but do so with the efficiency required to process terabytes of data.Read moreRead less
