Process-Oriented Dependability Overview Gartner has stated “Through 2015, 80% of outages impacting mission-critical services will be caused by people and process issues, and more than 50% of those outages will be caused by change/configuration/release integration and hand-off issues.” Our vision is make a dramatic reduction in these numbers for consumers of cloud services. This is […]

Strategy  For an increasing number of usage scenarios, data analytics and machine learning demonstrate effectiveness in handling real-world tasks with little human involvement. The demand for constructing such kinds of systems rises rapidly but the actual construction of such a system requires lots of effort. It is not only because such systems are often data […]

Remote Sensing Monitoring   Our aspiration is to fundamentally change reporting of the earth’s land cover, particularly native vegetation, land degradation, and built environments. Global demand for environmental reporting and auditing is spawning massive-scale mapping and monitoring projects producing derived information from multiple large datasets. As accuracy increases and sources of error are quantified, the […]

The Challenge Eukaryotic chromosomes possess an intricate 3D structure that helps control gene expressions by bringing in close spatial proximity genes with regulatory elements and by organizing chromosomes into compartments and domains. In recent years, we saw the advancement of a new set of techniques to capture the spatial arrangement of chromosomes including Hi-C, ChIA-PET […]

Behaviour Data Engineering and UEBA Cybersecurity  Overview  Behaviour Data Engineering plays an important role in intelligence creation under the fourth paradigm, the data-intensive scientific discovery. By collecting, aggregating, and analysing behaviour patterns of an entity (including human, things, events, …, etc.) together, deeper insights, from correlation to causations, can be possible through domain knowledge driven […]

Overview Our team delivers novel methodologies and computational algorithms for data-driven modelling with a focus on the forecasting, prediction and extreme modeling.  The team has a proven record of achievement with numerous high quality publications including more than 100 journal papers since 2010 to (of which more than 40 are A* ranked and more than […]

Versus is a web-based application that allows experimenters to create multiple experiments based on a full 2AFC methodology (two alternative forced-choice). Participants are presented two images side-by-side, and — without imposing a time constraint — they are now asked to choose one of the two images. The preliminary result of the experiment should be a […]
