Speaker: Dr Birgit Muskat, Australian National University. Dr Muskat is the Deputy Director, Research School of Management, Higher Degree Research at the College of Business and Economics at ANU. Her research interests include […]
Date: 06/08/2021, 2-3 pm Title: Deep Graph Contrastive Learning Abstract: Self-supervised learning (SSL) has been extensively studied to alleviate the label sparsity problem in deep models. Recent self-supervised learning techniques are converging around the central theme of Contrastive Learning (CL), which aims to maximize the consistency of representations under multiple views of the input data. […]
Date: 05/08/2021, 2-3 pm Title: Heart rate variability (HRV) Analysis using Entropy Methods Abstract: Heart rate variability (HRV), a variation in the time interval between successive heart beats, is a prognostic indicator of various physiological conditions, such as disease, stress, aging, fitness, and gender. Every physiological condition is linked to a change in heart rate […]
A big congratulations to Vicky Mak from the maths team who has been nominated as a finalist for Academic of the Year in the Australian Defence Industry Awards. Vicky is one of only 10 finalists (the list of which also includes Deakin academics Chang-Tsun Li and Saeid Nahavandi) with the award recognising her excellence in contributing to a number of […]
Date: 30/07/2021, 10-11am, Friday Title: Discriminative Representation for Topological Data Analysis Abstract: Topological data analysis (TDA) extracts the topological features that are complementary to statistical quantities, which has been found in many applications in computer vision. In TDA, the persistence diagram (PD) is a favored tool for describing topological features, such as the shape of […]
Date and time: 16 June, 2021, Wednesday 1pm in Melbourne time (11am in Perth Time). Title: Are SVMs still of interest when meeting deep neural networks Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been a standard recipe for creating state-of-the-art solutions. As a result, models like Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have been overlooked. While the results […]
D2i research centre is now a partner of Australian Data Science Network (ADSN). We will distribute all related opportunities, news and communications to D2i members. Australia has an impressive and expanding footprint in data science research and training. To provide a more comprehensive and inclusive solution, the Australian Data Science Network was born. The aim […]
School of Information Technology at Deakin University is ranked No. 6 in the Australia and top 76-100 in the world, according to ShanghaiRanking’s Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) 2021. This is further proof of the SIT’s commitment to achieving global excellence in computer science education and research. With its international faculty, diverse student body […]
Vicky and Rasul have recently won a Bronze medal in IEEE CEC/GECCO 2021 Competition on “Evolutionary Computation in the Energy Domain: Smart Grid Applications”. The competition has two independent tracks, each tackling an optimisation problem in the energy domain. Participants of the competition could use different evolutionary algorithms for each track (if they participate in […]
