Major Application Areas and Example Projects
- Bioinformatics:
- Extracting useful information from genetic data such as DNA and protein sequences. RUUG members are involved in the establishment of the Victorian Bioinformatics Consortium.
- Analysis of the malaria genome (with Faculty of Medicine & Melbourne University)
- Prediction:
- Analysing data and predicting future patterns or behaviour.
- Weather prediction (Bureau of Meteorology)
- Cyclone prediction using MML (Ph.D. support)
- Seabreeze prediction using Bayesian networks (funded Honours project)
- Predicting missing person behaviour (Collaboration with Victorian Police Search and Rescue)
- Monitoring ambulation and predicting falls using Dynamic Belief Networks (Collaboration with CompuMedics, Monash Centre for Biomedical Eng.)
User Modelling:
- Predicting users requests to pre-send documents on the WWW
Intelligent Decision Support:
- Business risk assessment for the financial services sector (Consulting project)
Natural Language Processing:
- A Bayesian approach to argument generation and analysis
Classification:
- Classification of psychiatric data and diagnosis using MML-based classification and decision tree tools (Collaboration with Melbourne Family Grief Study)
Image Processing and Pattern Recognition:
- Neural networks for treatment of cataracts (Collaboration with King's College, London)
Intelligent tutoring:
