Chau is a PhD student in Computer Science with a previous background in finance. He has a passion for the relationship between the theory of computer science and its application in specific circumstances.
His most recent research is to use semantic knowledge (texts), to detect and reason about interactive objects with their parts in a human-readable way. This research is related to object classification, detection, segmentation and knowledge representation - using Deep Learning and Machine Learning - as sub branches in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Chau believes that there is considerable value in research applying AI to solve real-world problems while we can still control AI in our own lives.
He recently completed a Masters by Research in Computer Science from Edith Cowan University. Chau will complete his PhD with Assoc Professor Tim French, Assoc Professor Wei Liu, Professor Melinda Hodkiewicz and Dr. Michael Stewart at the University of Western Australia.
Chau is currently working on processing texts to connect entities information using graphs and developing models that can learn to understand these texts. He will be focusing on research associated with Theme 1 – Support the Maintainer."
