Added depth: automated high level image interpretation. Humans are very good at understanding the world through imagery, but computers lack this fundamental capacity because they lack experience of what they might see. This project will provide this experience by combining the large volumes of imagery on the Internet with three dimensional information generated by humans for other purposes.
Privacy-Preserving Classification for Big-Data Driven Network Traffic. Protecting sensitive information in large network traffic flows while ensuring data usability for classification emerges as a critical problem of increasing significance. Existing techniques do not work on highly heterogeneous traffic from big-data applications for both privacy protection and classification (such as port-based and load- based methods). This project investigates new theories, methods and techniques for solving ....Privacy-Preserving Classification for Big-Data Driven Network Traffic. Protecting sensitive information in large network traffic flows while ensuring data usability for classification emerges as a critical problem of increasing significance. Existing techniques do not work on highly heterogeneous traffic from big-data applications for both privacy protection and classification (such as port-based and load- based methods). This project investigates new theories, methods and techniques for solving this problem. It proposes to develop a set of effective methods for privacy-preserving data publication through combining randomisation with anonymisation, and for classifying the published data through uncertainty leveraging by probabilistic reasoning and accuracy lifting by inter-flow correlation analysis and active learning.Read moreRead less
Visual tracking with environmental constraints. By incorporating high level scene understanding into visual tracking, this project will improve the capacity to monitor and analyse complex patterns of activity in video. This has many applications in public safety and security, but the project will demonstrate it on the challenging task of tracking players during an Australian Football League (AFL) game to gather statistics on their performance.
Techniques for active conceptual modelling and guided data mining for rapid knowledge discovery. Quick, accurate responses to rapidly evolving phenomena are essential. This project will develop a platform able to accept data from a variety of sources in advance of the full definition of the associated conceptual model. The project will facilitate rapid querying and direct manipulation of the mining process allowing fast, user-oriented results.

Summary
Building intelligence into online video services by learning user interests. This project aims to build an intelligent video streaming service by characterising users’ view interest patterns and predict user interest changes through learning data from Internet to address the challenge caused by astronomic video population. The outcomes of the project will be of great values for users and our society by intelligently filtering out valueless, harmful, illegal and unwanted videos in advance.

Summary
Distributed large-scale optimisation methods in computer vision. With the number of images and video available over the internet reaching billions and growing, the need for new tools for handling and interpreting such huge amounts of data is quickly becoming apparent. This project will focus on developing new optimisation methods for efficiently computing solutions for a broad class of large-scale problems.

Summary
The AustLit resource: supporting research in studies of Australian literary and narrative cultures. AustLit traces the history of Australia’s engagement with the art of story by creating an innovative web-based environment where all aspects of literary history can be explored, analysed and shared. The 2013 program will broaden AustLit’s information base in areas ranging from contemporary multi-lingual publishing to publishing in the colonial era.

Summary
What shapes the structure of language? An experimental and computational investigation. How do people learn language so easily, and how is the structure of language shaped by our learning biases? This project attempts to answer these questions through an innovative combination of experimental and computational tools, with implications for technological development as well as educational interventions for both children and adults.
