Summary
High performance density-based clustering in parallel environments. This project aims to conduct a comprehensive study on density-based clustering to improve data management in parallel computing environments. Clustering, a fundamental task in data management, is to group a set of objects such that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar to each other than those in other groups in order to simplify retrieval of similar information. Clustering is widely used in many fields i ....High performance density-based clustering in parallel environments. This project aims to conduct a comprehensive study on density-based clustering to improve data management in parallel computing environments. Clustering, a fundamental task in data management, is to group a set of objects such that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar to each other than those in other groups in order to simplify retrieval of similar information. Clustering is widely used in many fields including machine learning, pattern recognition, information retrieval, bioinformatics and image analysis. It is expected that the developed clustering techniques will provide significant performance improvements in industry sectors where decisions are made based on clustering data analytics, such as the sectors of finance, renewable energy and artificial intelligence.Read moreRead less

Personalised predictive analytics is frontier research that will position Australia at the forefront of AI and give business the tools needed to deploy innovative business systems for market exploitation with a secure, equitable and competitive advantage.Read moreRead less
Real-time Analytics on Urban Trajectory Data for Road Traffic Management. This project aims to develop real-time analytics and data management capabilities that leverage large-scale urban trajectory data to provide road operators with real-time insights into population movements and enable data-driven, customer-centric network operations. Current traffic management practices rely heavily on aggregate vehicle count data from fixed road sensors, which have limitations in accurately measuring traff ....Real-time Analytics on Urban Trajectory Data for Road Traffic Management. This project aims to develop real-time analytics and data management capabilities that leverage large-scale urban trajectory data to provide road operators with real-time insights into population movements and enable data-driven, customer-centric network operations. Current traffic management practices rely heavily on aggregate vehicle count data from fixed road sensors, which have limitations in accurately measuring traffic demand and network congestion propagation. This project seeks to develop innovative technologies to use a wide variety of data sources, especially massive trajectories of vehicles moving across the network, to better understand people's travel demands and road usage patterns and thus better manage the transport system.

This project aims to establish a methodology for spatiotemporal entity linking by utilising object movement traces to support database integration and data quality management for the next-generation of data where spatiotemporal attributes are ubiquitous. It expects to develop a novel entity linking paradigm for automatic, efficient and reliable spatiotemporal data integration together with a new data privacy study in this context. Expected outcome include new database technologies for data signature generation and similarity-based search, and improved location data privacy protection methods. This project should provide significant benefits to all areas where high quality spatiotemporal data fusion is essential to meaningful data analysis.Read moreRead less
Responsible modelling respecting privacy, data quality, and green computing. With the unprecedented growing impact of data on science, the economy and society, there comes the need for responsible data science practices which are accountable for the social good.

With the unprecedented growing impact of data on science, the economy and society, there comes the need for responsible data science practices which are accountable for the social good. This project aims to investigate the challenging problem of how to provide responsible data management, spanning across privacy-aware data exploration, resilient modelling to cope with imperfect data, and efficient model architectures for resource-constrained environments. This will be achieved by developing theories and techniques for complex real-world multi-modal data retrieval throughout the data life-cycle. The expected outcomes will significantly contribute to building capability in emerging technologies in the context of responsible data science. Read moreRead less
