With her Australian Research Council (ARC) Laureate Project "Autonomous Learning", Distinguished Professor Jie Lu AO, strives to develop internationally competitive basic and applied research on autonomous machine learning for decision-making in complex situations.

The project aims to create a novel research direction, autonomous machine learning for data driven decision making, that innovatively and effectively learns from big data to support decision making in complex (massive, uncertain, dynamic) situations.

A set of new theories, methodologies and algorithms will give artificial intelligence the ability to learn autonomously from data to enable machine learning capability to effectively handle tremendous uncertainties in data, learning processes and decision outputs, particularly enabling smart learning in massive domains, massive streams, and massive agent sequentially changing environments. The project’s outcomes are expected to improve data driven decision making in multiple industry sectors.

Australian Research Council Australian Laureate Fellowships are the most prestigious scientific awards for excellence in Australia, attracting and retaining world class researchers and research leaders of international reputation. 

Dr Katie Allen MP presented the 2019 Australian Laureate Fellows with their pins at a ceremony held in Old Parliament House, Canberra.

Six of the 17 ARC Laureate Fellowships were awarded to researchers at NSW universities.
