Abstract
In this seminar, we will explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics across diverse real-world applications. Drawing from my extensive experience in data analytics, we will delve into key projects that utilise advanced AI techniques for practical outcomes. Applications covered will include satellite data analysis, MRI imaging, drone-based monitoring, CCTV surveillance, bushfire detection, CO2 farming, environment monitoring and fake news detection.
I will share insights from collaborations with leading institutions such as KAIST, KARI, CSIRO, ETRI, EPFL, MIT Medialab, and various space and mining industries in Korea and Australia. Through these examples, we will examine how AI and data-driven technologies are being leveraged to solve complex challenges across multiple domains, highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in pushing the boundaries of innovation.
This seminar aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the practical applications of AI and data analytics, demonstrating its potential to address real-world problems while fostering future advancements.
