World-first computational model predicts dengue outbreaks

A world-first computational model that accurately predicts the spread of infectious diseases carried by air passengers, such as dengue fever, could help prevent future outbreaks. Developed by scientists at CSIRO’s Data61 in collaboration with Queensland University and Queensland Health, the tool draws on travel data from the International Air Transportation Association and dengue incidence rates...

Scalable graph machine learning: A mountain we climb?

Graph machine learning is still a relatively new and developing area of research, so you could be forgiven for a lack of familiarity with its place in deep learning. But we’re fast discovering that interconnected problems like money laundering, media propagation and cybercrime are particularly well suited to graph analytics. We can draw powerful insights...

NationalMap – High-value data is innovation driver

Originally published by InnovationAus.com As the world has become increasingly digitised, data is playing a critical role in almost every aspect of society. Data has the power to provide invaluable insights and drive innovation for policymakers, in turn, contributing to communities, the economy and even the local environment. A recent study by Microsoft which explored the...

Digital Human – Simulation of human biophysics for health, performance and safety

Detailed, 3D simulations of everyday activities such as eating, moving and working allows us to improve health, performance and safety without expensive and invasive measurements and, with the use of high performance computing, can be used to optimise outcomes for community, for sports, and for workplace safety. A “Digital Human” A digital replication of a...

Online match-making tool promoting a circular economy goes national

We create more than 2 billion tonnes of waste annually, with that number expected to grow to 3.4 billion by 2050. According to the World Bank, the majority (33%) of worldwide waste is disposed in an open dump, while 25.2% is discarded in unspecified (opposed to sanitary or controlled) landfill. Australia generates 67 million of...

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...

Bushfire evacuation tool wins three Merit Awards at iAwards

A bushfire evacuation tool created by CSIRO’s Data61 in collaboration with the Victorian Government and RMIT has won three Merit Awards at the 2019 iAwards. Held in Victoria, the Bushfire Evacuation Modelling program took home accolades in the Research and Development Project of the Year, Infrastructure and Platforms Innovation of the Year, and Community Service...

Data economy means more change to Australia than the internet

In his latest op-ed in the Australian Financial Review, CSIRO’s Data61 CEO Adrian Turner looks at the 15-year rise of platform companies going unchecked, and why it’s time for Australia to take the lead in setting an ethical framework for data collection. Data economy means more change to Australia than the internet It seems we’re...
