communication sciences data which will enable subscribers to
publish their own data and make use of data provided by other subscribers or third party suppliers. The network will provide infrastructure for rights management of data, in particular making sure that any original conditions on the collection and publication of data are respected. The project will support collaborative annotation of data stored in the network so its use can be maximised across disciplines.

Efficient Techniques for Mining Exceptional Patterns. This research will develop totally new techniques for exceptional pattern discovery that are useful for deeper understanding data mining and capturing the hidden interactions (class-bridge rules and out-expectation patterns) within data. This will enable Australian data marketers to access valuable implicit information that is contained in their data, but not currently accessible. The outcomes will keep Australia in the international leading ....Efficient Techniques for Mining Exceptional Patterns.

EII targets consolidated research towards the comprehensive development & establishment of advanced information infrastructures. Its prime purpose is to provide a forum for intellectual exchange by diverse yet complementary research groups, to address the fundamental research problems faced by scientific & business communities when dealing with deployment of information technology to globally distributed, and data intensive environments. EII will address 3 tightly coupled research themes: Ability to interoperate across existing heterogenous platforms & applications; Efficient processing of very large data sets; Technology adoption & impact. Generic results will be applicable to e-science and large business information systems installations.Read moreRead less
Efficient Strategies for Mining Negative Association Rules. Negative association rules (NAR) catch mutually-exclusive correlations
among items. They play important roles just as traditional association
rules (TAR) do. For example, in stock market surveillance based on alert logs, NARs detect which alerts are false. There are essential differences between mining TARs and NARs because NARs are hidden in infrequent itemsets. This research will develop efficient strategies for mining NARs in datab ....Efficient Strategies for Mining Negative Association Rules.

rules (TAR) do. For example, in stock market surveillance based on alert logs, NARs detect which alerts are false. There are essential differences between mining TARs and NARs because NARs are hidden in infrequent itemsets. This research will develop efficient strategies for mining NARs in databases. These strategies are expected to be about ten times faster than existing ones. This project will deliver database-independent and high-performance mining algorithms for decision-making. The results can benefit Australian marketing and financial companies as well as health and security departments for smart information use.Read moreRead less
Multiple Data Source Discovery: Group Interaction Approach. This project will develop new technology and theory to identify and evaluate incomplete data. It will deliver a high-performance group-interaction based global pattern discovery system that enables decision-makers (like doctors) to access valuable implicit information that is contained in their data but not currently accessible. Mining group interactions will greatly extend the scope of pattern discovery and new product evaluation. The ....Multiple Data Source Discovery: Group Interaction Approach.

Effective Techniques and Methodologies for Multi-Database Mining. This project develops a high-performance multi-database mining system. This project is significant because (1) it is imperative due to a great deal of multi-databases widely used in organizations; (2) it is difficult due to essential differences between mono- and multi-databases; (3) existing multi-database mining techniques are inadequate; and (4) the new mining strategies in this project can make a vast improvement of the abilit ....Effective Techniques and Methodologies for Multi-Database Mining.

This project is significant because (1) it is imperative due to a great deal of multi-databases widely used in organizations; (2) it is difficult due to essential differences between mono- and multi-databases; (3) existing multi-database mining techniques are inadequate; and (4) the new mining strategies in this project can make a vast improvement of the ability and performance of multi-database mining systems. The expected outcomes are: an application-independent database classification, a local instance analysis and a prototype system. These proposed techniques are innovative, effective and efficient in identifying novel patterns from multi-databases.Read moreRead less
