About

Dr. Joanne Lee received her PhD degree in Computer Science in 2007 from Griffith University, Australia. She started her academic career as a lecturer in School of Business and IT at Charles Sturt University, Australia (2007-2008) and continued her academic pursuit after moving to James Cook University.

Joanne is an active researcher, and her research interests include machine learning, algorithm optimisation, neural networks, data mining, and applied artificial intelligence. She has been involved in various projects developing a real-world scheduling optimisation system for fly-in-fly-out mining employee scheduling, designing and implementing a non-destructive neural network based classification system for ultrasonic signals, and developing spatio-temporal mining algorithms for moving objects.

Joanne’s teaching experience covers from introductory machine learning, database, data mining, 3D modelling, and programming. Currently, she is supervising 5 PhD students, and 3 of them are near completion.

Fisheries Research & Development Corporation - Annual Competitive Round

Application of a machine learning approach for effective stock management of abalone

Indicative Funding
$115,649 over 2 years
Summary
Determining the number and size distribution of abalone present at various stages of production is critical information for effective stock management. Currently the Australian abalone aquaculture industry spends in the order of $25,000 per annum, per farm, gathering this information by hand. However, the resulting data is of mediocre quality, is limited in its scope, and collecting the data causes stress to the animals which can compromise growth and survival. Automated counting and measuring of abalone will increase farm efficiency and productivity in the short term and, in the longer term, will provide an advanced platform for further R&D improvements. Artificial intelligence and machine learning has now matured to a point that accurately counting and measuring abalone is possible using this approach. This project would involve the development, training and validation of a machine learning model to identify, segment and measure quantitative abalone traits in production systems, and render the product data to be accessible and applicable for farmers.

From Coastal Communities to Cloud Communities ? New Application and Artificial Intelligence to Monitor Fish Stocks Using Photos ? Application Development

Indicative Funding
$53,100 over 1 year
Summary
The Project aims at develop an artificial intelligence capable to autonomously identify fish species and number from images collected at fish markets in remote location, so that effective catch rate can be evaluated and management policies can be developed.
