Deep variational learning for complex uncertain data

Enterprise data present increasing significant characteristics and complexities, significantly challenging the SOTA probabilistic and deep learning systems.

This research aims to develop novel and systematic deep variational learning theories and models for analytically explainable, complexity-resilient enterprise analytics.

In the era of big data, digital innovation increasingly relies on understanding data complexities. Automated scalable analytics of enterprise data complexities become increasingly imperative for small-to-large enterprise innovations to address non-conventionally solvable problems by existing learning systems and vendor solutions.

About the scholarship

The students will be intensively supervised by internationally active research leaders in the areas of data science and AI (DSAI, including statistical, deep/machine learning) for cross-disciplinary theoretical and empirical innovations on deep variational learning, which will synergise advanced statistical learning with deep neural innovations for complex and uncertain data.

The students will join an internationally active DSAI research lab with intensive research culture.

The research is expected to produce high quality research outputs that transform existing statistical learning and deep learning. The outcomes are expected to be foundational and applicable to any enterprises for transforming their enterprise analytics capability/capacity, evidence-based transformation, productivity lift and widespread data-intensive decision-making.
