AAII's Professor Ling Chen: newly announced ARC Future Fellow 2023
ARC Future Fellowship awarded to AAII's Ling Chen
Professor Ling Chen has been announced recipient of an ARC Future Fellowship 2023 for the project
'Situated Anomaly Detection in an Open Environment' (FT230100121).
While existing anomaly detection techniques follow the setting of conventional machine learning and discover anomalies from a set of collected data, this project proposes to develop the next-generation of anomaly detection algorithms by learning from interactions with an open environment, which enables the discovery of new anomalies and the early detection of anomalies.
The established theories and developed algorithms will advance frontier technologies in machine intelligence. The success of the project will contribute to a wide range of real applications in cybersecurity, defence and finance, bringing massive social and economic benefits.
Prof Ling Chen is the Deputy Head of School (Research) for the School of Computer Science. She also leads the Data Science and Knowledge Discovery Laboratory (DSKD Lab) within the Australian Artificial Intelligence Institute (AAII).
Prof Ling Chen and her research group have made significant contributions by developing cutting-edge algorithms in the fields of anomaly detection and reinforcement learning. These two areas form the major components of the FT project, and their expertise will undoubtedly enhance research in these directions.
Ling has secured multiple competitive research grants, including ARC DP/LP/LIEF. Her research has also been recognised and funded by industry, including Facebook and TPG Telecom.
