The University of Sydney’s Westmead Applied Research Centre has been awarded Australia’s inaugural Google.org AI Impact Challenge prize, receiving $1 million and expert support to develop a customised digital health program powered by artificial intelligence (AI), aimed at reducing the risk of heart attack – the biggest cause of death globally.
Dr Joanna Aldridge was awarded 10th place in the Institute for Analytics Professionals Top 25 Analytics Leaders in Australia for 2019. Joanna leads the data science team of the Sydney Informatics Hub at the University of Sydney.
Disseminating scientific discoveries and understanding, and communicating how that is applicable to people in their day-to-day lives is an important part of research. Everyone at SIH comes from a variety of backgrounds, but we all have the common goal: to empower researchers (and thereby everybody else) with scientific knowledge and application!!
For a project with a Transport Informatics group we were exploring some of the data availble on Sydney toll roads. Here are some insights into the data and a few starting points for exploring and visualising a dataset.
The Accelerated Computing for Innovation Conference (#ACIC18) hosted by the Sydney Informatics Hub provides optimistic outlook for the future of advanced computational technologies.
The latest round of the SIH publication incentive is open. If you have used any SIH services including the Artemis HPC and published a paper you are eligible!
Feel like the Deep Learning revolution is passing you by, because you have the wrong hardware? It seems like every Deep Learning software platform requires NVIDIA hardware running CUDA code. Well, I finally found one that doesn't! Let's see how it worked out.
What is this GPU acceleration everyone's talking about? In this post we take a look at how GPUs can speed up computation using a simple clustering algorithm as a case-study. This example uses OpenCL, so it should work on almost any hardware you might have.
Professor David Hensher, a winner of 2016's Artemis Grand Challenge, has been named in a new MIT study as one of the world's most influential transport economists.
University of Sydney and NASA researchers have developed a revolutionary new technique to image plant photosynthesis using satellite-based remote-sensing, with potential applications in climate change monitoring.
