The Sydney Informatics Hub is a Core Research Facility of The University of Sydney. We work towards enabling excellence in data and compute intensive research. We are:
- š©āš» Data scientists and machine learning engineers š¤
- 𧬠Bioinformaticians š§¬
- š„ļø High performance computing experts āļø
- šØāš» Software engineers š©āš»
- ā Statisticians āļø
We provide support, training, and expertise in statistics, data science, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, software engineering, simulation, visualisation, and research computing.
We've:
- Created reusable workflows for bioinformatics on Australia's national supercompute resources & commercial cloud, as an official node of Australian BioCommons š¬āš§¬
- Advised thousands of higher degree by research students on how to use statistics to best achieve their research objectives. ā āļø
- Built an open-source platform for plant images in agricultural crops to support robotic weed-killing using AI š±š¤āš§āš¾
- Created text analysis tools for Digital Humanities researchers through the Australian Text Analytics Platform and the Language Data Commons of Australia
- Developed state-of-the-art open-source visual AI models for detecting and identifying native australian wildlife in camera trap images šøāš¦āšØ
- Created a tool to collect geospatial data easily (demo app here), and then build spatio-temporal models on it so that farmers can make better decisions š°ļøš±āšØšæāš¾
- Engineered a radio-astronomy pipeline to detect variable and slow transient light sources using the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder š”āšāš
- Optimised code for simulating plate tectonics, to better understand how our Earth forms! šāšā
- Used machine learning models and echocardiogram data to improve cardiology diagnostics š©ŗāš©»āš©
- Put up freely available Statistical resources and training materials ššļø
