The Beat the News program filed one patent application for their innovations.
The Beat the News program produced 44 publications and technical reports in the five years of D2D CRC.
Ross led the D2D CRC development and operations engineering project team. This team supported research streams by collecting and curating various data sets. It also integrated outputs of the research streams to support agencies in trialling capabilities.
Dr. Mitchell led two research streams at D2D CRC. The first, Disease Prediction, developed new systems for the real time prediction of disease outbreaks. The second, social disruption and election prediction, modelled social disruption events to forecast hot spots for population level social disruption events.
Professor Li lead the Proactive Approach to Potential Social Disruption stream. It built accurate, interpretable models of social disruption events to help decrease societal costs and disturbances due to social disruption.
