External Research Grants

CY 2018
MHA-Merlion Initiative – SPF 02
Principal Investigator: Pradeep Reddy Varakantham
School of Computing and Information Systems
Funding Source: Ministry of Home Affairs
Project Synopsis: 

This project aims to use game theoretic models to randomise patrols and visits conducted by the police, with the goal to minimise their predictability and enhance security efforts.

CY 2018
Viola.AI
Principal Investigator: Paulin Straughan
School of Computing and Information Systems
Funding Source: AI Singapore’s 100 Experiments & Lunch Actually
Project Synopsis: 

This multi-disciplinary project brings together the expertise of the School of Social Sciences, School of Information Systems and Lunch Actually (a dating and relationship advice provider), to develop the first holistic AI mobile platform that provides dating and relationship solutions and advice based on comprehensive personality-match models.

CY 2018
Remote, non-invasive fiber-optic based monitoring of infants and toddlers
Principal Investigator: Tan Hwee Pink
School of Computing and Information Systems
Funding Source: Ospicon Systems
Project Synopsis: 

The project is a collaboration between the School of Information Systems and Ospicon Systems, a pioneer of the world’s first patented optical fiber based breath-sensing technology for infants and the elderly. By leveraging on the School's and Ospicon Systems’ respective strengths in the areas of IoT data analytics and fiber-optic sensing, the project team seeks to further enhance the performance of Ospicon’s product offerings.

CY 2018
Characterizing and identifying misinformation from the web
Principal Investigator: Jiang Jing
School of Computing and Information Systems
Funding Source: DSO National Laboratories
Project Synopsis: 

The project seeks to identify misinformation on the web by studying the content and propagation patterns of known cases of misinformation. Through the analysis of these misinformation, the research team seeks to propose methods that will allow for automatic flagging of suspicious pieces of information circulating on the web which can be sent to experts for verification.

CY 2018
Intelligent and non-intrusive monitoring of Android devices for protection against data-infringing malware
Principal Investigator: Gao Debin
School of Computing and Information Systems
Funding Source: AI Singapore’s 100 Experiments
Project Synopsis: 

The project is a joint collaboration with Acronis Asia Research and Development Pte Ltd, and it aims to develop a non-intrusive monitor that leverages artificial intelligence to achieve protection against data-infringing malware on Android devices. A dynamic analysis framework would be built to perform dynamic analysis of Android apps on un-rooted Android phones to achieve the feature of non-intrusiveness, while a deep learning solution would be developed to identify the specific Android app responsible for performing sensitive operations.

CY 2018
Socio-physical sensing & analytics for urban anomaly detection
Principal Investigator: Archan Misra
School of Computing and Information Systems
Funding Source: US Army Research, Development and Engineering Command International Technology Center-Pacific
Project Synopsis: 

Awarded with a second year funding, the project looks into building fundamental data fusion techniques to combine data from both physical urban sensors and social media sensing to generate improved insights into the evolution of urban events, and a software library of tools that extract and combine analysis techniques across multiple socio-physical sensing channels.

CY 2018
Smart accessibility & mobility for barrier-free access
Co-Principal Investigator: Tan Hwee Pink, Tan Hwee Xian
School of Computing and Information Systems
Funding Source: Tote Board’s Tote Board-Enabling Lives Initiative
Project Synopsis: 

The project, led by Trampolene Limited, aims to design a scalable, self-sustaining system that can collect, classify and determine accessible point-to-point routes that are suitable for barrier-free access.

CY 2018
Sentiment analysis of MRT’s event-related social media content
Principal Investigator: Lim Ee-Peng
School of Computing and Information Systems
Funding Source: Public Transport Council
Project Synopsis: 

The project aims to understand MRT events and commuting experience through sentiment analysis of public tweets related to MRT events generated by Singapore's Twitter users.
