ItemA forest fuel dryness forecasting system that integrates an automated fuel sensor network, gridded weather, landscape attributes and machine learning modelsLyell, CS ; Nattala, U ; Joshi, RC ; Joukhadar, Z ; Garber, J ; Mutch, S ; Inbar, A ; Brown, T ; Gazzard, T ; Gower, A ; Hillman, S ; Duff, T ; Sheridan, G (Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, 2022)Accurate and timely forecasting of forest fuel moisture is critical for decision making in the context of bushfire risk and prescribed burning. The moisture content in forest fuels is a driver of ignition probability and contributes to the success of fuel hazard reduction burns. Forecasting capacity is extremely limited because traditional modelling approaches have not kept pace with rapid technological developments of field sensors, weather forecasting and data-driven modelling approaches. This research aims to develop and test a 7-day-ahead forecasting system for forest fuel dryness that integrates an automated fuel sensor network, gridded weather, landscape attributes and machine learning models. The integrated system was established across a diverse range of 30 sites in south-eastern Australia. Fuel moisture was measured hourly using 10-hour automated fuel sticks. A subset of long-term sites (5 years of data) was used to evaluate the relative performance of a selection of machine learning (Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM)), statistical (VARMAX) and process-based models. The best performing models were evaluated at all 30 sites where data availability was more limited, demonstrating the models' performance in a real-world scenario on operational sites prone to data limitations. The models were driven by daily 7-day continent-scale gridded weather forecasts, in-situ fuel moisture observation and site variables. The model performance was evaluated based on the capacity to successfully predict minimum daily fuel dryness within the burnable range for fuel reduction (11 – 16%) and bushfire risk (

ItemDIALOGUE / COLLABORATIONAndrew, B ; Walter, T ; Maidment, S ; Ryan, J (National Gallery of Victoria, 2017)The text focusses on key moments in Brook Andrew’s 25-year career, and looking at the artist’s fascination with archival materials and strong interest in process that remain central to his practice. A point of focus is Andrew’s interdisciplinary and collaborative approach which encompasses mediums of photography, video, neon, text, collage, printmaking, assemblage, sculpture, painting and installation.

ItemGender, Epistemic Violence, and Indigenous ResistanceMoodie, N ; Walter, M ; Kukutai, T ; Gonzales, A ; Henry, R (Oxford University Press, 2022)This chapter provides an introduction to gendered differences in work, poverty, and violence experienced by Indigenous People and the limitations of sociology in explaining Indigenous Peoples continued dispossession and oppression. The chapter also provides an overview of the contribution of Indigenous feminisms and queer Indigenous studies to broader thinking on gender, coloniality, and First Nations sovereignty. Integral to this analysis is the colonial imposition of gender binaries and the gendered violence of settler-colonial societies, which is central to the formation of such states, their spatiotemporalities, and the ongoing oppression of Indigenous Peoples and our lifeworlds. Central to the focus of an Indigenous sociology of gender are myriad forms of resistance to epistemic violence, anchored in tradition and by normative systems, and essential for the maintenance and reinvention of Indigenous futures. This chapter provides an introduction to Indigenous scholarship on gender and sexuality, gendered structures of historic and contemporary violence toward Indigenous Peoples, and maps the resistance of gendered identities as fundamental to the resurgence of Indigenous lifeworlds.

ItemSocial Planning for Trusted AutonomyMiller, T ; Pearce, AR ; Sonenberg, L ; Abbass, HA ; Scholz, J ; Reid, DJ (Springer International Publishing, 2018)In this chapter, we describe social planning mechanisms for constructing and representing explainable plans in human-agent interactions, addressing one aspect of what it will take to meet the requirements of a trusted autonomous system. Social planning is automated planning in which the planning agent maintains and reasons with an explicit model of the other agents, human or artificial, with which it interacts, including the humans’ goals, intentions, and beliefs, as well as their potential behaviours. The chapter includes a brief overview of the challenge of planning in human-agent teams, and an introduction to a recent body of technical work in multi-agent epistemic planning. The benefits of planning in the presence of nested belief reasoning and first-person multi-agent planning are illustrated in two scenarios, hence indicating how social planning could be used for planning human-agent interaction explicitly as part of an agent’s deliberation.
