Information systems theory for location-based educational services in informal learning environments. Creating technology enhanced learning experiences will be critical to the way we educate and engage with future generations. This project will seek to develop a stronger theoretical basis for understanding how location-based technologies can enhance learning outcomes of school students visiting three of Australia's leading cultural institutions.
Probabilistic modeling of human responses in complex interaction. The project aims to develop computational ability to reliably detect and hence act on implicit user preferences. It aims to develop techniques combining advanced non-intrusive sensor measures of conscious and non-conscious behaviour during interaction tasks to enable very high-level computerised support for human goal-seeking in complex data and design environments. It plans to use a user’s physiology and preference evaluation to ....Probabilistic modeling of human responses in complex interaction. The project aims to develop computational ability to reliably detect and hence act on implicit user preferences. It aims to develop techniques combining advanced non-intrusive sensor measures of conscious and non-conscious behaviour during interaction tasks to enable very high-level computerised support for human goal-seeking in complex data and design environments. It plans to use a user’s physiology and preference evaluation to capture their complex interaction with the data they view, probability models to accumulate information to identify their underlying preferences and extract relationships to find possible ‘hidden variables’ which may help explain and leverage the user's choices.Read moreRead less
Adaptive data stream processing in heterogeneous distributed computing environments using real-time context. This project falls within the ARC research priority goal, Smart Information Use. The innovative contributions of this project through the development of adaptive data stream mining algorithms for heterogeneous devices will have an impact on a range of emerging application areas such as:
1. Meeting time-critical, intelligent information needs of the mobile workforce (e.g. mobile healthca ....Adaptive data stream processing in heterogeneous distributed computing environments using real-time context. This project falls within the ARC research priority goal, Smart Information Use. The innovative contributions of this project through the development of adaptive data stream mining algorithms for heterogeneous devices will have an impact on a range of emerging application areas such as:
1. Meeting time-critical, intelligent information needs of the mobile workforce (e.g. mobile healthcare professionals, stockbrokers). 2. Improving Intelligent Transportation Systems via in-vehicle analysis and crash prevention. 3. Facilitating 'on-board' analysis in sensors that monitor the environment and patients. The project will enhance Australia's leading international role in the area of data stream processing in distributed computing environments.Read moreRead less

Summary
Big data in Australian research: issues, challenges and opportunities. This project aims to enhance discovery, productivity and translation within and between disciplines in Australian research through better utilisation of big data. Advances in our ability to capture, store, process and analyse large data sets are transforming many parts of society, including the research sector. Machine learning, for example, will allow data-driven analysis of massive, unstructured data sets such as social med ....Big data in Australian research: issues, challenges and opportunities. This project aims to enhance discovery, productivity and translation within and between disciplines in Australian research through better utilisation of big data. Advances in our ability to capture, store, process and analyse large data sets are transforming many parts of society, including the research sector. Machine learning, for example, will allow data-driven analysis of massive, unstructured data sets such as social media archives or financial records in ways that will shed new light on many complex research questions. This project will map existing capability and infrastructure within and across disciplines, identify common and discipline-specific practices, challenges and opportunities, and assess technology, infrastructure, training and collaboration priorities for Australia.
