The Centre for Information Resilience (CIRES) is an Australian Research Council (ARC) Industrial Transformation Training Centre funded for 5 years from 2021. Our Centre aims at building workforce capacity in Australian organisations to create, protect and sustain agile data pipelines, capable of detecting and responding to failures and risks across the information value chain in which the data is sourced, shared, transformed, analysed and consumed. Building on strong foundations of responsible data science, we bring together end-users, technology providers, and cutting-edge research, to reduce the socio-technical barriers to data driven transformation. We support the development of resilient data pipelines capable of delivering game-changing productivity that position Australian organisations at the forefront of technology leadership and value creation from data assets.
To enable agile deployment of data driven solutions within IT landscapes and business processes.
To build new data curation methods through machine learning, crowd-sourcing and human-in-the-loop techniques to achieve data curation at scale.
To enable and promote interpretability, uncertainty quantification, unbiasedness, transparency and reproducibility into the design of learning algorithms.
To improve data literacy and trust in data linking in the wider community towards reducing barriers in data sharing and flow of knowledge.
To create and support capacity for responsible management of data assets through principled approaches to data governance, access and sharing.
Enable Australian organisations to achieve responsible, secure and agile value creation from data.
