Thesis Title

Advancing Process Analytics for Agri-food Supply Chains

Supervisors

  • Professor Moe Kyaw Wynn  (Principal Supervisor)
  • Associate Professor Wasana Bandara  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

This thesis examined how emerging process centric technologies can assist in solving complex agri-food supply chain challenges. A process for configuring and applying process aware digital twins for monitoring and managing productivity, risk and sustainability was developed. The frameworks and supporting IT Artifacts, developed through an Action Design Research Methodology, were evaluated on an integrated cattle supply chain as well as a banana farm and its supply chain and found to produce actionable insights.

BALASUBRAMANIAM, Thirunavukarasu

Thesis Title

Matrix/Tensor Factorization with Selective Coordinate Descent: Algorithms and Output Usage

Supervisors

  • Professor Richi Nayak  (Principal Supervisor)
  • Professor Yuchu Tian  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

With advanced data collection methods and the tremendous growth in the number of online users, multi-context data has become ubiquitous and its analysis for knowledge discovery has become inevitable. Matrix/tensor factorizations are commonly used knowledge discovery methods. This thesis developed selective Coordinate Descent (SCD) algorithms that select only a few important elements during the factorization process to minimize the computational complexity and to improve the efficiency of factorization. Moreover, this thesis exploits various ways the output of SCD factorization can be applied in several knowledge discovery tasks like pattern mining, clustering, outlier detection, and recommender systems.

Thesis Title

Multimodal Data Fusion of Remote Sensing and Social Media Using Machine Learning for Natural Disaster Detection and Assessment

Supervisors

  • Associate Professor Dimitri Perrin  (Associate Supervisor)
  • Dr Alan Woodley  (Principal Supervisor)

Citation

For more than a decade, social media has emerged as a potential platform to generate and spread information about natural disasters. Alternatively, a common way of conducting research into natural disasters is via remote sensing. However, remote sensing data comes with a few challenges, such as, unavailability due to long revisit time of the sensors, and obstruction due to cloud cover. This research develops a novel machine learning algorithm for the fusion of social media images and text with remote sensing multispectral satellite images to detect flooding. The fusion method is further extended to generate flood maps for assessment.

KAPUIRE, Gereon Koch

Thesis Title

An Ubuntu Lens to Co-Design: Towards a Rural Community Engagement Framework

Supervisors

  • Professor Margot Brereton  (Principal Supervisor)
  • Associate Professor Alessandro Soro  (Associate Supervisor)
  • Heike Winschiers-Theophilus  (External Supervisor)

Citation

The research aimed to understand the problems encountered when academic researchers engage with rural communities to co-design culturally appropriate technologies in Namibia. There are no existing engagement frameworks to guide co-design with rural communities in Namibia. The methods comprised a literature review, a narrative analysis of several co-design case studies with rural communities, and the collaborative development of an engagement framework with communities through a co-design process, guided by applying an Ubuntu lens. The study contributes practical recommendations, expressed in an engagement framework to guide the community-based co-design of technology and services in Namibia.

OHANA, Eric

Thesis Title

Optimizing Verification of RTL Designs Using Deep Reinforcement Learning Methods

Supervisors

  • Dr Lance Neil David De Vine  (External Supervisor)
  • Adjunct Professor Shlomo Geva  (Principal Supervisor)
  • Associate Professor Wayne Anthony Kelly  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

The exhaustive functional verification of digital designs is a well-documented challenge in the semiconductor industry. The thesis describes the research and the development of a reinforcement learning based method to optimise the functional verification of digital designs before they make their way to implementation on semiconductor chips. The method proves to be very greatly beneficial for a complex and industry representative digital design, in terms of automatizing parts of the functional verification process and specifically achieving full functional coverage closure. This positive result paves the way to broaden the use of reinforcement learning methods for the verification of semiconductor projects.

YANG, Jing

Thesis Title

Discovering Organizational Models from Event Logs for Workforce Analytics

Supervisors

  • Associate Professor Chun Ouyang  (Principal Supervisor)
  • Dr Wil Van Der Aalst  (External Supervisor)
  • Professor Arthur Harry Maria ter Hofstede  (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

This research investigates knowledge discovery from business process execution data to support workforce analytics and improve business process management. It presents a set of novel data-driven methods to systematically construct and analyze organizational models, which can be utilized for guiding organizational structure design and staff deployment toward process improvement. The usefulness of the proposed methods was evaluated through experiments using public datasets from five real-world organizations across three business domains.
