Bronze medal win in IEEE CEC/GECCO 2021 Competition on “Evolutionary Computation in the Energy Domain: Smart Grid Applications”

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 […]

Research Project: Beyond black-box models: interaction in eXplainable Artificial Intelligence

ARC Discovery Project 2021 – Gleb Beliakov, Marek Gagolewski and Simon James from the maths team with colleague Enrique Herrera-Viedma from University of Granada. This project addresses a key issue in automated decision making: explaining how a decision was reached by a computer system to its users. Its aim is to progress towards a new […]

Maths at Deakin University Video

This is a video submission to ACEMS for Women in Maths day, 2020 with a poem written by Kerri Morgan and Elicia Lanham. Footage from the video was incorporated into a video by Tim Macuga prepared for ACEMS.

Maths Seminar Series: Joanne Hall, RMIT – Non-technical skills needed by cyber security graduates

Wednesday 13 May 2020 – 11:00am – 12:00pm The Mathematics Research Lab welcomes Joanne Hall from RMIT to present some of her recent research on graduate skills. Abstract Technical cyber-defence is often insufficient to protect a system as most cyber security incidences involve a human who takes an erroneous action or regrettable decision. To address […]

Maths Seminar Series: Daniel Horsley, Monash University – Locating arrays and disjoint partitions

Wednesday 6 May 2020 – 11:00am – 12:00pm The Mathematics Research Lab welcomes Daniel Horsley from the School of Mathematics at Monash University to share his research. Abstract Covering arrays are combinatorial objects used for designing testing procedures to determine whether faults are present in complex systems. In particular, they are used extensively in software […]

Maths Seminar Series: Radko Mesiar, STU in Bratislava – Aggregation functions: recent results and trends, links to fuzzy set theory

Friday 14 February 2020 – 11:00am – 12:00pm The Mathematics Research Lab welcomes Radko Mesiar from STU in Bratislava to present his research (part of a double seminar). Abstract We bring an overview of some recent new concepts, results and trends in the aggregation theory. In particular, we focus on monotonicity issues in aggregation, including […]

Maths Seminar Series: Andreas Stathopoulos, College of William and Mary – State-of-the-art SVD for Big Data

Friday 14 February 2020 – 10:00am – 11:00am The Mathematics Research welcomes Andreas Stathopoulos from College of William and Mary to present his research (part of a double session). Abstract The singular value decomposition (SVD) is one of the core computations of today’s scien- ti􏰏ic applications and data analysis tools. The main goal is to […]

Publication: Robust fitting for the Sugeno integral with respect to general fuzzy measures

Gleb Beliakov, Marek Gagolewski, Simon James Journal of Information Sciences https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ins.2019.11.024 Abstract The Sugeno integral is an expressive aggregation function with potential applications across a range of decision contexts. Its calculation requires only the lattice minimum and maximum operations, making it particularly suited to ordinal data and robust to scale transformations. However, for practical use […]

Research Project: Scheduling and timetabling for pilot training

Funded by DSTG ALGORA Vicky Mak-Hau and Sergey Polyakovskiy This project aims to develop a highly intelligent planning tool that integrates simulation, optimisation and data analysis for the daily scheduling of training lessons while, at the same time, allocate limited resources under complex resource restrictions.

Research Project: Novel audio watermarking techniques for tracing multimedia piracy

ARC Linkage Projects; Industry partner: Flag Explore Yong Xiang, Wanlei Zhou, Gleb Beliakov and Longxiang Gao With the rapid growth of communication networks and the use of advanced multimedia technology, digital multimedia data can be easily copied, manipulated and distributed. This has led to strong demand for new techniques to prevent illegal use of copyrighted […]
