Why we’re vaccinating algorithms against adversarial attacks

Is the image on the left that of a temple, or of a large bird native to Africa? According to a machine learning model that’s been duped by an adversarial  attack, it’s an ostrich.  As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning across our society and economy is increasing, so too is the...

Artificial Intelligence lease management system receives multiple accolades at iAwards

Australia’s first artificial intelligence-powered lease management platform received multiple commendations at the NSW iAwards late last week, with the program billed to revolutionise the lease administration procedure. Developed in partnership with LeaseInfo and CSIRO’s Data61 with support from the NSW Government, ‘Accurait‘ uses text classification tools, optical character recognition (OCR) and LeaseInfo’s own metadata to...

Machine Learning made more meaningful through Graph Analytics

In this information age, data is the greatest asset. A successful digital transformation rests on the ability to master data to the fullest extent, despite its ever-expanding volume and complexity. Our world is deeply connected, but connections within data are often not obvious, with this information often siloed and occasionally representing only a partial picture...

Newly discovered computer attack can steal data from memory chips

Security researchers have developed a new cyber-attack called RAMBleed, a variant of Rowhammer that can steal data from memory chips even if the system has been updated to prevent these kinds of ambushes. Developed by an international team, (Yuval Yarom from the University of Adelaide and Data61, Andrew Kwong and Daniel Genkin of the University...

The $3 trillion economic opportunity for spaceship Earth

In his latest op-ed in the Australian Financial Review, CSIRO’s Data61 CEO Adrian Turner argues that oceans are one of the most vital additions to the world’s economy,  but with plastic rubbish set to outweigh fish within decades, this valuable resource is at risk. Nothing captures our imagination like the prospect of space travel. For those...
