Macquarie University and The University of Sydney are joining forces with globally recognised Machine-learning experts from NICTA and leading Big Data Software Engineers from SIRCA to deliver data-led insights to ecology, physics and geosciences.
Big Data Knowledge Discovery is an interdisciplinary research initiative that focuses on the scientific challenges and opportunities presented by the use of the new techniques of data science applied in the natural sciences. This research initiative brings together world class discipline leaders in the data-intensive sciences of Geo Sciences, Life Sciences and Physical Sciences with leaders in Information and Communications Technology with theoretical and practical understanding of very large and complex data sets. This project is funded by the Science and Industry Endowment Fund (http://www.sief.org.au ).
