The number of available Android applications continues to increase, leading to increasing pressure on developers to release popular applications. As the default distribution channel for Android apps, Google Play (GP) contains over 3.8 million Android apps. However, due to a lack of discoverability, users may be unaware of the available app features. Imagine the frustrating user experience when a user is playing an Android game app without any description or how-to-play guide.

Propositional satisfiability (SAT) is a well-known example of NP-complete problems. Although NP-completeness may be perceived as a drawback, it allows one to solve all the other problems in NP by reducing them to SAT and relying on the power of modern SAT solvers. This is confirmed by a wealth of successful examples of use cases for modern SAT solving, including generalisations and extensions of SAT as well as a wide variety of practical applications in artificial intelligence (AI).

This project is within the scope of the project “Artificial Intelligence in carDiac arrEst” (AIDE), which was led by Ambulance Victoria (AV) in Australia, involving a team of researchers at Monash University. This AIDE project has developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool to recognise potential Out-of-Hospital-Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) during the Triple Zero (000) call by using transcripts produced by Microsoft Automatic Speech Recognition service.

Expected outcomes: The student will learn inference and representation learning methods for network data. The knowledge can be easily used to analyse other networks, including but not limited to social networks, citation networks, and communication networks. A research publication in a refereed AI conference or journal is expected. A student taking this project should ideally have at least a reasonable background mathematical knowledge, including differential calculus (e.g., partial derivatives) and matrix determinants.

Linguistic phenomena have emerged and evolved over the span of thousands of years leading to many variations. Through this evolution, many linguistic structures and compositions have emerged or disappeared. In this project we will deploy an information-theoretic perspective to investigate the connections between linguistic phenomena (survival), and communication efficiency and emergence.

This project will explore different aspects of intellectual property violations in generative machine learning . There is sufficient research work in this project for at least two students. However, individual sub-topics are rather independent and don't necessarily require group work. Topics can be summarised as follows:
  • First item
  • Second item

Tactical networks have complex communication and computing requirements due to various adverse situations. These networks are often multi-bearer, which means there are multiple communication mediums that can be used for point-to-point communication. However, it is challenging to manage the networking infrastructure in a dynamically changing environment, where communication links are often unreliable. In addition, mission-critical applications have Quality of Service (QoS) requirements that need to be met in diverse networking conditions.

Immune protection provided by immune memory underpins successful vaccines and is mediated mainly by memory lymphocytes and long-lived antibody- secreting cells. In particular, B cell memory is key to providing a rapid and robust response upon secondary infection and continual serum antibody protection. We are working to elucidate the crucial epigenetic mechanisms that generate and maintain B cell memory, and how B cells may retain molecular and functional plasticity under chronic pathogenic pressure.

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), as one of the available options, are endowed with the mission to educate the world. MOOCs refer to online courses that are designed for an unlimited number of participants. In MOOCs, the learning materials are distributed over theWeb, which can be accessed by learners with internet connections anytime and anywhere. MOOCs are becoming increasingly popular. According to Class Central, by the end of 2022, there have been over hundreds of million learners enrolled in MOOCs in various MOOC platforms including edX, Coursera, etc.

Over recent decades, most democratic countries have extensive rights for citizens to request and access personal and civic information. These requests have to be processed by reviewing documents and records, first to see if the document is relevant and if so, to redact any personal information.
