The aim of this project is to probe, conceptualize, and assess the fusion of generative AI with data comics to augment their narrative potency, user comprehension, and user engagement. Data comics, an innovative blend of data and visual artistry, effectively portray intricate narratives in an accessible comic strip format. By integrating generative AI, we can automate and enrich the storytelling process, further enhancing the visual and narrative depth of data comics. The primary areas of research encompass AI, data visualisation, and user experience.

The research challenge for this project is to curate a dataset captured in a collaborative learning setting in which teams of three students engaged in conversations and created a joint concept map. The goal is to analyse the content of their conversations and concept maps they created at a multi-touch tabletop and model the epistemic constructs reflected in both their conversations and the artefact they jointly create. Depending on the trajectory that you take, examples of the questions that such a project could investigate include:

AI in Medicine

AI has been growingly used in Medicine. There are big opportunities for AI in medical research, including medical imaging diagnosis. AI and Deep Learning have been used to detect and classify lesions in various diseases, such as cancers.

Panomaric XRay

This project is in collaboration with the Faculty of Dentistry, Airlangga University, Indonesia. We will explore the use of AI in dentistry, especially in dental medical imaging and periodontology (gum disease). Gum disease often causes bone loss in the furcation of a lower molar (see picture below).

Admission to the Medical Degree

Admission to the Medical degree at Monash is very competitive. The criteria is beyond the ATAR score. It covers many other factors, such as health test, interview, etc. Consequently, the ranking process is very complex.

Are you interested in programming maps, such as GoogleMaps or Open Street Maps? This project uses online maps extensively for visualising routes, and other objects of interest.

Multimedia content such as audio, image, and video are stored and transported in compressed forms. Various standards are designed to encode the content at the highest possible level while minimizing distortion. Some commonly used compression standards include MP3 for audio, JPEG for still image, H.264/AVC for video. Despite the vast differences in signal characteristics, most compression standards have two things in common: transformed-quantized coefficients and scale factor (quantization table in JPEG and AVC). The coefficients are usually coded as a product of sign_bit and magnitude.

Podcasts have become a very popular way for small communities to create content that is meaningful for them and reach a wider audience. However, many of the skills and equipment needed to produce a good podcast are inaccessible to non-professionals and there is often a learning curve attached to gain necessary skills. In addition, the production process is seen as an individual effort (one or two producers working in isolation to produce the final edit).

Radio is one of the primary modes in which communities across the world receive important information and build connection with wider society. Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) have long been leveraging radio, and in particular Community Radio

 

In many parts of the world, audio is the preferred interface for social interactions. There has been a huge push towards audio-based interfaces for engaging marginalised communities in rural and Developing countries contexts.

As part of this project, you will work closely with a community organisation or NGO (this can either be an organisation that you have existing links with or we will connect you with one of our partner NGOs). Working in collaboration with the org, you will find out challenges they face in giving voice to their communities/beneficiaries that can be addressed through social media (for instance, perhaps they want to run an awareness raising campaign about the difficulties faced by the community and they want the communities to be very involved in this).
