This project aims to develop a next-generation robust federated learning framework to tackle the challenging scenarios of imperfect decentralised data in real applications, e.g. mobile phones and the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The outcomes will bring great benefits to a broad range of industry sectors by providing novel large-scale intelligent applications with privacy preservation. The proposed method will advance the development of a cutting-edge technique to develop new intelligent applications in a decentralised and privacy-sensitive scenario. This game-changing research will advance current data mining and artificial intelligence research from centralised intelligence to decentralised intelligence with a collaboration network.Read moreRead less

Summary
Dynamic adaptive software configuration. The aim of this project is to use computational intelligence in software engineering processes to achieve self-optimising products. Many mobile device users bemoan inadequate battery life, and device size is largely determined by the battery. In addition, information and communications technology uses six per cent of the global electricity production. The expected outputs of this project will be packages of optimisation components that software engineers ....Dynamic adaptive software configuration. The aim of this project is to use computational intelligence in software engineering processes to achieve self-optimising products. Many mobile device users bemoan inadequate battery life, and device size is largely determined by the battery. In addition, information and communications technology uses six per cent of the global electricity production. The expected outputs of this project will be packages of optimisation components that software engineers can incorporate into next generation products: the products analyse their collected usage data, perform what-if analyses, and optimise their configurations accordingly for the next usage period. Hence, the products may respond faster, be more reliable, and consume less energy.Read moreRead less
Tracing nature's template: using statistical machine learning to evolve biocatalysts. In this project new computational methods will be developed to design nature-inspired, biological catalysts for industrial purposes. Such methods will enable catalysts to be designed that can improve the effectiveness and environmental footprint of drug development, agricultural and specialist chemical production and environmental remediation.
Advanced planning systems for vertically integrated supply chain management. This project will integrate various algorithms into an adaptive, dynamic and intelligent system that deals with the vertically integrated supply chains. The outcomes include publications in the quality outlets, generation of intellectual property, and dissemination of this research amongst the research and business communities.
Multi-Modal Dictionary Learning for Smart City Operation and Management. This Project aims to provide new digital asset management tools for city councils to improve city services by utilising new sensing and automated learning technologies for recognising, tracking and auditing of assets. Currently, there are no digital tools available to handle these services.

This Project aims to provide new digital asset management tools for city councils to improve city services by utilising new sensing and automated learning technologies for recognising, tracking and auditing of assets. Currently, there are no digital tools available to handle these services. This project proposes new multi-modal sensing and mapping of city asset techniques by building new multi-modal dictionary learning procedures. The new framework will recognise different conditions of city assets in real-time to make decisions. Expected outcomes of this Project include integration and easy access of assets with unique digital identities to help city councils, governments, and navigation services for real-time asset monitoring.Read moreRead less

Genetic Programming for Big Data Analytics. The project aims to extend a powerful machine learning method, called genetic programming and also developing a new concept called Alpha program, for big data analytics. This project expects to generate a new approach by finding a systematic approach to develop gene structures using information theory. By borrowing the best genes from the population of programs, the Alpha program concept will be developed for the first time. The proposed approach aims ....Genetic Programming for Big Data Analytics. The project aims to extend a powerful machine learning method, called genetic programming and also developing a new concept called Alpha program, for big data analytics. This project expects to generate a new approach by finding a systematic approach to develop gene structures using information theory. By borrowing the best genes from the population of programs, the Alpha program concept will be developed for the first time. The proposed approach aims to enhance genetic programming for many practical problems. I contend that not only finding better tools for big data analytics is in the best interest of machine learning and big data communities, it also provides significant benefits for other communities and industries in Australia.Read moreRead less
Mechanisms of learning at the interface between perception and action. Using the latest in brain imaging and simulator technology, this project will advance understanding of how experience shapes the visual centres of our brain. It will also support partnerships with construction, mining and health services by developing real and virtual machine interfaces and tools to enhance the outcome of simulator-based training.
New high-performance iterative error correction codes. This project develops new error correction codes to underpin the success of next-generation communications technologies. The nature of the project presents significant potential for project outcomes to be beneficial to the Australian telecommunications industry in a wide range of application areas from optical communication to digital broadcasting.
Optomechanical refrigeration of electronic circuits. The project aims to apply laser light to reduce the temperature of electronic circuits. This aims to greatly suppress electronic noise, and enable a new class of technologies for future telecommunication systems. By developing new techniques to confine light, electric fields and vibrations at sub-micron scale on a silicon chip, devices such as ultralow noise amplifiers, clocks and radio frequency receivers will be realised, along with ultra-ef ....Optomechanical refrigeration of electronic circuits.

By developing new techniques to confine light, electric fields and vibrations at sub-micron scale on a silicon chip, devices such as ultralow noise amplifiers, clocks and radio frequency receivers will be realised, along with ultra-efficient optical modulators. In future, these technologies could reduce energy consumption and improve reliability in telecommunication networks. They could improve the range of satellite communication, robustness of GPS against cosmic radiation, and performance of surveillance systems such as radar and sonar.Read moreRead less
