Responsible data modelling to respect privacy, data quality, and green computing

Project summary

Program
PhD
Location
St Lucia
Research area

Project description

This project aims to investigate the challenging problem of how to provide responsible data management, spanning across privacy-aware data exploration, resilient modelling to cope with imperfect data, and efficient model architectures for resource-constrained environments. This will be achieved by developing theories and techniques for complex real-world multi-modal data retrieval throughout the data life-cycle. The expected outcomes will significantly contribute to building capability in emerging technologies in the context of responsible data science.
