Australian engineering firms are principals in many high-profile projects. To defend their position, they must demonstrate both sound engineering and quality processes, which by international standards includes the traceability of decisions. Yet, there are few tools to vet the multitude of decisions that go into large-scale engineering works. This project aims to form mathematical models of decision-making based on the language modelling of what is written in engineering documentation about the bases of decisions. The new methods will help decision makers to pinpoint irrationalities in decisions and notify them of possible errors. The research can therefore be applied to important problems in the engineering sector such as risk management.

澳大利亚工程公司是许多备受瞩目的项目的负责人。为了捍卫自己的地位，他们必须展示良好的工程和质量流程，按照国际标准，其中包括决策的可追溯性。然而，几乎没有工具可以审查大规模工程中的大量决策。该项目旨在根据工程文档中关于决策基础的内容进行语言建模，形成决策的数学模型。新方法将帮助决策者查明决策中的不合理之处，并通知他们可能的错误。因此，该研究可以应用于工程领域的重要问题，例如风险管理。
