Legal Innovation Zone Feasibility Study

The Legal Innovation Zone Feasibility Study project brings together the University of Alberta Faculty of Law and Donna Purcell QC Law to consider the feasibility of a collaborative centre or “zone” that might support cross-disciplinary innovation in the legal system. Such a zone would aim to increase access to justice in a digital age, with special attention to the problems and opportunities that fall between the mandates of existing institutions (including but not limited to pro bono service delivery). With support from Hero Laird and the engagement of the Digital Law & Innovation Society, this project will bring together stakeholders to consider those problems and opportunities and how an innovation zone might support groups to collaboratively address them.

Amélioration de l’ajustement des masques respiratoires grâce à la numérisation 3D, à l’analyse par éléments finis et à l’intelligence artificielle.

La pandémie de COVID-19 a souligné l’importance du port du masque pour prévenir la propagation du virus et le confort associé, notamment pour les travailleurs de la santé. En effet, l’efficacité d’un masque respiratoire dépend fortement de son ajustement. Avec les masques traditionnels, réaliser une étanchéité parfaite avec le visage s’avère difficile, voire impossible sans le serrage excessif de ses sangles. Or, le personnel médical porte généralement des masques protecteurs pendant plusieurs heures, entraînant une gêne, des inflammations voire des blessures plus graves. Ce projet démontre l’efficacité de la combinaison de technologies de pointe telles que la numérisation 3D, la simulation par éléments finis (EF) et l’apprentissage automatique (ML) pour générer des masques personnalisés stérilisables, réutilisables et validés. D’abord, une application dédiée sur un appareil mobile grand public réalise la numérisation du visage. Ensuite, un masque adapté à la morphologie du visage est généré. Une simulation biomécanique du serrage du masque est réalisée pour évaluer son ajustement à partir d’un modèle EF spécifique de l’assemblage masque-visage. Une série de scans faciaux et de masques correspondants, leurs simulations de serrage respectives et les modèles de pression faciale serviront de base de données pour l’entraînement et la validation d’un modèle d’apprentissage automatique.

1.1 Designing a Sustainable and Cooperative Business Model for Visible Minority Immigrant Women in St. John’s

As a result of project called “Her Own Boss” community-based project done by the Women’s Economic Council, aimed at exploring the challenges in self-employment for visible minority immigrant women in British Columbia, Ontario, and Eastern Newfoundland in 2019-2021, one hundred twenty women were interviewed. At the same time, weekly training sessions were held in the three regions to address the specific needs of participants for running their businesses. Digital literacy, marketing, legal advice, etc., were covered in the training sessions. Collective Interchange, NL delivery partner on the “Her Own Boss” research project decided to introduce a business model for the participants in St. John’s to accommodate their business needs and help them address their barriers more effectively. Collective Interchange has suggested a cooperative business model to mitigate financial burdens and create a higher level of social capital and networking. In this MITACS project, different cooperative business models, including creating a Sociocracy platform encompassing multiple cooperative circles, will be explored to develop the most cost-effective and well-designed hybrid cooperative model.

Behavioral mapping Using Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to Predict Individual Behaviors and Team Dynamics

This project tackles the issue of knowledge incompleteness and lack of domain coverage in resume and job posting matching caused by the exploitation of domain-general resources. A variety of co-operative semantic/ontological resources will be used to filter out irrelevant resumes. A two-way (candidate to job and job to candidate) semantic-based automatic suitability ranking is proposed. The suitability is determined by the semantic distance of resumes and job postings, evaluated by their word embeddings. An efficient semantic space created through the Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks will be utilized with different word embedding mechanisms along with different classification methods. The project also investigates the potential of knowledge graphs in illustrating inconsistencies between the resumes and job postings will be investigated. This study improves an automatic system capable of precisely detecting, extracting, and visualizing the resume and job posting’s relevant skills as well as the implicitly encoded semantic dimensions of applicant resumes.

Improvements to the Environment Footprint Monitoring Platform

The EFMP is an environmental management platform. At its basic level it monitoring the environmental conditions over time and over the entire footprint of a project. The footprint of a development does not end at the boundary fence – the area that the development effects on a regular basis. The environmental information comes from Earth Observation Satellites, ground-based sensors, and UAVs. The platform integrates the data and presents it in a form that managers can use. Our goal is to improve the existing platform and to add more functionality in the areas of incorporating internal and external models, This requires careful design of new associated data tables and formats.

Détermination de l’habitat d’origine chez le Pic à dos noir Picoides arcticus et de Pic à dos rayé P. dorsalis en dispersion juvénile

Ce projet novateur vise à mieux comprendre la dispersion juvénile chez le Pic à dos noir et le Pic à dos rayé, deux pic bois de la forêt boréale de conifères. Dans cette recherche, on utilise les composés chimiques présents à la surface des troncs d’arbres et qui se déposent sur les plumes de la queue des pics lorsqu’ils s’alimentent. À partir d’adultes nicheurs occupant des habitats homogènes d’une essence forestière, nous identifions les composés qui caractérisent les différents habitats dans lesquels ces pics évoluent. Ces informations permettront de produire la “pierre de rosette-la signature chimique” qui servira à déterminer les habitats d’origine des juvéniles qui se dispersent à l’automne et qui sont recensées par l’Observatoire d’oiseaux de Tadoussac (OOT). Ce projet permettra de maximiser les travaux de l’OOT en bonifiant l’interprétation toucahnt les mouvements de ces oiseaux emblématiques de la forêt boréale.

Forcasting the Capabilities of LIM-pair Estimartors to Probe The Cosmic Dark Ages

While we have been able to learn a great deal about the early moments after the Big Bang from cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments, most of the universe remains unexplored. In particular, the cosmic Dark Ages, a time before any stars or galaxies existed, remains a mystery. This is a time when the cosmos was filled almost entirely with neutral light atoms. The distribution of this matter, though seemingly random, has encoded in it deep quantum structure that originated before the Big Bang and that gave rise to all of the complex galactic physics we see today. A peek into the cosmic Dark Ages would give us a clear view into the beginnings of our universe. This, however, is no small feat. Between us and the early universe are billions of years of comic evolution and in looking deep into the cosmos, our view is contaminated by late-time cosmology. But, there may be a way out.

Development and evaluation of a made-in-Manitoba data rover for the rapid collection of ground-level phenotypic data

Global food security is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Developing new farming practices and technologies that take advantage of large amounts of data collected from a myriad of different sensors offers our best bet for a greener future, with a stable supply of nutritious food for everyone. A move toward digital agriculture, as it is called, is expected to bring critical innovations such as automated methods of plant care and inspection. Such capabilities will increase crop yields and expedite breeding programs, while reducing human effort, costs, and chemical inputs (e.g., fertilizer, herbicide, pesticide). The proposed project will help bring out these innovations by developing a data rover that will collect plant level images and environmental data in test plots. This will provide much greater information about plant growth, resilience, and yield (i.e. phenotypic data) than can presently be collected by hand, allowing plant breeders to make better decisions and develop crops with improved characteristics (e.g. drought resistant) more quickly.
