The MeG team build upon an extensive track record in delivery of highly successful research-oriented IT projects across a variety of disciplines. Wherever possible we build directly upon the results of these projects from a software perspective, but more importantly from a software engineering perspective to support the development and rollout of software solutions. We summarise the current portfolio of projects here and some of the previously completed projects involving the MeG staff to give an idea of the depth and breadth of research-oriented IT that we build upon.  Many of these projects are for University of Melbourne researchers. This is made possible through an internal grant scheme funded through the Melbourne Collaborative Research Infrastructure Program (MCRIP) program to support a research software-oriented platform: Platform for  Research Software Systems (PRESS).  Where funding  allows, the MeG team work across and support PRESS projects.

Git documentation analytics

Git documentation analytics uses documentation pages stored in GitHub repositories that refer to code elements that used to exist in the corresponding source code repository, but do not exist there anymore. The project identifies potential references to code elements in documentation pages using a set of regular expressions, and then checks for each candidate whether it existed in the source code previously but not anymore. This project was a collaboration with academics in the School of Computing and Information Systems.

National Gallery Victoria Chatbot

National Gallery Victoria Chatbot realises a web application using natural language processing tools realise a ChatBat for performance artists and exhibitions at the National Gallery Victoria.

Biometric Mirror

Biometric Mirror realises a web application using artificial intelligence for facial analysis in public spaces. The aim is to investigate the attitudes that emerge as people are presented with different perspectives on their own, anonymised biometric data based on a single photograph of their face.

Ivermectin Study

Ivermectin Study provides a website for a clinical study related to Covid-19 into the use of the drug Ivermectin.

Enhanced Disinformation Detection

Enhanced Disinformation Detection focuses on a significant and growing problem that can undermine the nation’s security: fake news. This project aims to apply a novel interdisciplinary approach to learn more about how disinformation can be systematically identified, and how to categorise the clusters of disinformation that are more likely to be believed and spread. This involves a collaboration with the University of New South Wales and Monash University.

CubeSat AI

CubeSat AI provides lightweight machine learning models targeted to small and adaptive satellite capabilities such as the CubeSat and use of microprocessors such as the Jetson Nano. The project is exploring how deep learning can be delivered to such satellites and allow them to be dynamically repurposed depending on the envisaged operational scenarios.

Membership Partnership in Early Childhood

Membership Partnership in Early Childhood (MPEC) platform fosters engagement in early years learning communities, where early childhood teachers, educators, leaders, directors and university academics learn from each other and co-construct knowledge. This platform was developed for researchers in the Melbourne Graduate School of Education.

Spatial Urban Data Observatory

Spatial Urban Data Observatory (SUDO) provides seamless and secure access to over 6000 datasets from over 150 Government, industry and academic organisations across Australia. The system also provides over 100 analytics tools for analysis of spatial data sets.

COPD Risk Calculator

COPD Risk Calculator provides a web application realising the world’s first risk calculator that predicts current and future risk of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This project involved a collaboration with researchers in the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health.

Drugs4Dent

Drugs4Dent is the first Australian medicines information resource designed specifically for dental practitioners. The web application provides succinct, dental-relevant information for practitioners in clinical settings to understand the effect of medications on dental treatment allowing clinicians to accurately and safely prescribe.
