  • Description:

    Traditional database queries are used to search for facts from structured database such as RDB (Relational Databases) to satisfy user search conditions. With big data currently available in many ways such as structured and unstructured multi-modalities, user queries should be constructed not only for searching facts, but also for searching patterns, emerging events, and outliers from available big data. This PhD research is to propose a new type of query language that can query on analytic results , to satisfy user requirements for informed decision support. In order to make such a language to be implementable on general big dataset, this PhD research will also define and design a framework that can answer declarative analytic queries by a data-driven approach to apply transparent machine learning algorithms in order to discover unexpected patterns, emerging trends, various correlations from big data. The challenges of this research will be on how to use an end-to-end black-box mechanism to provide big data analytic services to make big data available for general queries beyond classical data warehousing technologies.

    Background:

    In classical DSS systems based on data warehouses and OLAP operations, the queries such as Canned and Continuous Queries would not involve procedural operations that can reflect the dynamic parameters of queries. The operators such as Role-Up, Drill-Down, Slice/Dice, Cube, Pivoting etc, cannot reflect the context of the query objects in their business context. This PhD research will try to introduce more flexible analytical data manipulation operations based on machine learning algorithms that can provide end-to-end queries for strategic DSS with baselines.

  • Description:

    Predictive data analytics usually involves Big Data that is distributed in different locations and owned by different organizations, such as the Taxation Office Data, Boarder-Control Customs Data, Crime-Stop Police Data, and Social Security Data. The organizations are legally responsible for the privacy preservation of their data which is of highly risk and sensitive. However, this should not prevent the sharing of those de-identified, privacy preserved data sets for the predictions of pending social-economic events, emerging trends, patterns of relationships, or correlations among entities. Currently, there are many algorithms that can preserve privacy for computing data from multiple owners, such as SMC (secure multi-party computation), Differential Privacy algorithms. However, the predictive tasks often require to use all original raw data for the learning. This would involve the individual organizations to conduct local learning tasks and contribute to global learning with their local models, instead of their sensitive data. Federated learning therefore coming to being as a promising and useful approach to learn from individual datasets and producing a general model for the required predicting tasks. This project is to research on the Federated Learning algorithms that can deal with large distributed, sensitive datasets and derive a computational model to predict some pre-defined tasks. The challenges of this project would be the following three issues in one solution, i.e., data shareability, data privacy, and computational utility.

    Key Terms: Federated Learning, Deep Learning, Distributed Database Technology, Privacy Preservation, Mathematical Modelling, Data Shareability, Computational Utility

  • Description:

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications are mostly based on the first-order thinking that is reasoning based on deduction, abduction, induction, or eduction. In this way, AI is limited and unable to discover the First Principles such as those in sciences and complex Math Equations, and laws in Physics and Chemistry. However, this should not prevent AI to be used together with the First Principles in those discovery projects. This research is to design an architecture of AI Application platform that can use First Principle in AI to speed up the human trial-and-error process of experiments, to use First Principle in a more intelligent way to converge an optimization process which has a large number of iterations faster and scalable for human's research problems.

Possible Research Projects

Note for students: The possible research projects listed on this page may not be comprehensive or up to date. Always feel free to contact the staff for more information, and also with your own research ideas.

  • Description:

    Traditional database queries are used to search for facts from structured database such as RDB (Relational Databases) to satisfy user search conditions. With big data currently available in many ways such as structured and unstructured multi-modalities, user queries should be constructed not only for searching facts, but also for searching patterns, emerging events, and outliers from available big data. This PhD research is to propose a new type of query language that can query on analytic results , to satisfy user requirements for informed decision support. In order to make such a language to be implementable on general big dataset, this PhD research will also define and design a framework that can answer declarative analytic queries by a data-driven approach to apply transparent machine learning algorithms in order to discover unexpected patterns, emerging trends, various correlations from big data. The challenges of this research will be on how to use an end-to-end black-box mechanism to provide big data analytic services to make big data available for general queries beyond classical data warehousing technologies.

    Background:

    In classical DSS systems based on data warehouses and OLAP operations, the queries such as Canned and Continuous Queries would not involve procedural operations that can reflect the dynamic parameters of queries. The operators such as Role-Up, Drill-Down, Slice/Dice, Cube, Pivoting etc, cannot reflect the context of the query objects in their business context. This PhD research will try to introduce more flexible analytical data manipulation operations based on machine learning algorithms that can provide end-to-end queries for strategic DSS with baselines.

  • Description:

    Predictive data analytics usually involves Big Data that is distributed in different locations and owned by different organizations, such as the Taxation Office Data, Boarder-Control Customs Data, Crime-Stop Police Data, and Social Security Data. The organizations are legally responsible for the privacy preservation of their data which is of highly risk and sensitive. However, this should not prevent the sharing of those de-identified, privacy preserved data sets for the predictions of pending social-economic events, emerging trends, patterns of relationships, or correlations among entities. Currently, there are many algorithms that can preserve privacy for computing data from multiple owners, such as SMC (secure multi-party computation), Differential Privacy algorithms. However, the predictive tasks often require to use all original raw data for the learning. This would involve the individual organizations to conduct local learning tasks and contribute to global learning with their local models, instead of their sensitive data. Federated learning therefore coming to being as a promising and useful approach to learn from individual datasets and producing a general model for the required predicting tasks. This project is to research on the Federated Learning algorithms that can deal with large distributed, sensitive datasets and derive a computational model to predict some pre-defined tasks. The challenges of this project would be the following three issues in one solution, i.e., data shareability, data privacy, and computational utility.

    Key Terms: Federated Learning, Deep Learning, Distributed Database Technology, Privacy Preservation, Mathematical Modelling, Data Shareability, Computational Utility

  • Description:

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications are mostly based on the first-order thinking that is reasoning based on deduction, abduction, induction, or eduction. In this way, AI is limited and unable to discover the First Principles such as those in sciences and complex Math Equations, and laws in Physics and Chemistry. However, this should not prevent AI to be used together with the First Principles in those discovery projects. This research is to design an architecture of AI Application platform that can use First Principle in AI to speed up the human trial-and-error process of experiments, to use First Principle in a more intelligent way to converge an optimization process which has a large number of iterations faster and scalable for human's research problems.

  • A Rare Event is a social-economic situation that happens unexpectedly and brings disastrous impact to society and human lives. For predicting predefined Rare Events (e.g., pandemics) we need a Knowledge Graph (KG) of the domain (e.g., public health), to understand and explain a “perfect storm” when the “ingredients” of the perfect storm are all in place with certain geographic-temporal conditions. However, there may be things that are emerging and forming up a trend, but we don’t know what it will lead to. For these kinds of situations, we use unsupervised learning approaches for trend detection.

    The aim of this project is to propose a solution that can be used to process a large volume of distributed data sources in order to detect the emergence of Rare Events and predict their geographic and temporal occurrences.

    People have the right to learn about new events that may cause concern or require urgent response. These emerging events may initially be small events or instances that appear in social media, social networks, and multilingual, global or local communities. Since the internet knows no borders, small incidents that occur in distant countries may eventually seriously affect the lives of local people, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Through integration with large-scale real-time data stream representation learning, the results of this project provide new knowledge for academia and generate new knowledge for all people or organisations who embrace big data analysis and artificial intelligence technology for advancing social security.

    Current research on Rare Events prediction is mainly focused on natural disasters, such as earthquakes, extreme weather, flooding or bushfires; or on system performance, such as famines, financial market crashes, or patient mortality. The research gap is that the current methods are developed based on the environmental data monitoring or system performance indicators without integrating the data of social opinions and human behaviours that may significantly affect the developments of events.

    Most current approaches of predicting Rare Events are based on statistical modelling with small sample data sets. They do not take advantage of the recent substantial developments in deep learning and AI approaches. Both these developments are applicable to the data of complex networks formed based on multiple application domains [3]. In this project we consider the prediction of Rare Events that may significantly impact on human life, health, and wellbeing. For example, our system may be developed to predict “superbug” outbreaks in future years. To the best of our knowledge, our proposal is the first of its kind, i.e. using big data analysis and AI technology to predict Rare Events at a global scale.

    The outcomes are expected as (1) to develop a computational graph model of rare events prediction, (2) to collect and evaluate the data sets that are relevant to the rare event prediction model, (3) to develop the effective prediction algorithms based on the graph model of rare event prediction and (4) to provide a showcase, for the Rare Events prediction evaluation.

  • Description:

    In business intelligence, knowledge Graph is a representation of the domain knowledge for business decision support and event predictions. The learning of a knowledge graph requires the fusion of big data including the transactional data, text, image, and numerical data. There are many tools and algorithms used to build knowledge graphs for the application domains such as those in healthcare, medicine, IoT (Internet of Things), supply-chain, and sports management. However, due to the complexity of domain knowledge and the bottleneck in knowledge engineering, it is difficult to evaluate a knowledge graph against the given application domain for its quality, such as the issues regarding the completeness, consistency, and minimum representation of domain knowledge.

    In this project we will study the algorithms and theories that can be used to build a knowledge graph with the quality assessment and benchmarking. The effectiveness of a representation framework of its application domain will be studied in terms of graph embedding, canonical graph representation and the theory of information networks.

    Key Terms: Knowledge Graph, Graph Embedding, Information Network, Complex Networks, Graph-based Queries
