A2I2 began operations as an Institute in January 2019. The Institute was formed by merging two groups already established at the University; PRaDA (Pattern Recognition and Data Analytics) recognised internationally for its groundbreaking work in machine learning and pattern recognition and DSTIL (Deakin Software and Technology Innovation Laboratory) which has transformed complex ideas into user-friendly software systems, including mobile and web applications.
Combining the multi-disciplinary expertise of both PRaDA and DSTIL makes A2I2 the ideal partner to help industry, government and community take full advantage of the benefits AI offers.

Our history
1994 /
The Advanced Technologies Group is formed at Swinburne University with the founding principle of making a difference in society by leveraging technology to produce high-impact outcomes. The group has early successes in the infrastructure space, working with VicRoads on CrashStats—a database of all road traffic accidents used for crash and road toll analysis—and the Licensed Vehicle Test Management System, as well as a number of projects for defence.
2000 /
ATG becomes the Information Technology Innovation Group (ITIG). ITIG expands its industrial reach by moving into the health sector, collaborating with Alfred Hospital to produce the TR&R system—a revolutionary solution for improving decision-making in the resuscitation of trauma patients. The Soldier Combat System is built for DSTO to provide advanced situational awareness for deployed soldiers.
2014 /
ITIG becomes the Swinburne Software Innovation Lab (SSIL), expanding in size and profile. SSIL produces the Malaysian Bus Tracker, a joint venture with the Malaysian government built to operate in the newly designed electric bus fleet. The group leverages recent progress in AI to help resolve congestion in Victoria’s traffic network.
2016 /
SSIL moves to Deakin University to become the Deakin Software & Technology Innovation Lab (DSTIL). The group continues to expand into real applications of machine learning and AI, focusing on intelligent systems that can be understood and operationalised by industry.
2019 /
DSTIL and PRaDA combine to form the Applied Artificial Intelligence Institute (A²I²) with the aim of leveraging a world-class research profile and decades of experience delivering high-impact innovation to industry to transform, educate, and support industries and the broader community with AI that is built by and for humans.
