Towards Automating Ore Sorting with Rich Sensors

To make mining more efficient and environmentally friendly, transportation of rock should be minimized. Ideally we would only transport those rocks that contain economically extractable amounts of minerals. MineSense has developed sensors that can detect the level of minerals in rocks and, in particular, can detect very low levels with high accuracy. This proposal is to use MineSense’s sensing technology to make decisions about which rocks to keep, and which to discard, as they pass over an array of sensors via a moving belt. Part of the decision is to determine where the rocks are and how many there are. This project will apply some of the latest artificial intelligence techniques, in particular techniques from relational probabilistic modeling, to this problem.

Analytics of Rehabilitation Medicine

The goal of this project is to address major knowledge and research gaps on the impact of gender in the practice of rehabilitation medicine. A gender analytical approach to rehabilitation medicine will be crucial to understanding stroke representation and improving quality of life outcomes for survivors. Focusing on the impact of gender can improve the generalizability and effectiveness of best practices. This research project involves developing a new approach to improving the strategy and processes around rehabilitation medicine through a gender lens. The project will use value chain analysis to better understand strategic and process improvement opportunities in rehabilitation medicine. Value chain analysis disaggregates an organization, such as rehabilitation medicine, into its strategically relevant activities to understand the behaviour of costs and the existing and potential sources of differentiation. The appropriate degree of disaggregation depends on the nature of the activities and the purposes for which the value chain is being analysed. The project will be unique in that it will use process improvement approaches in business, as well as strategic analysis to better understand the value that rehabilitation medicine gives its patients as well as the health system.

An improved pipeline for processing and analysis of facial surface images in medicine

This Mitacs proposal tackles several outstanding issues that must be addressed to complete development of a widely applicable pipeline for quantitative analysis of 3D facial shape in medicine. Here, we focus on specific applications of imaging pipelines in genetic syndrome diagnosis and facial surgery visualization and planning. The fellows will develop (a) cutting edge, deep learning models of 3D facial shape variation, (b) optimal strategies for defining boundaries between regions, (c) methods to infer high resolution skin color and texture from low resolution images, (d) and models that integrate 3D facial shape data with discrete and preference data for various purposes.

Quo Vadis? Ontologies for Geospatial Question Answering and Consumer Behaviour

A geospatial query is a question where the concept of location is necessary for formulating the answer. Furthermore, we are not simply interested in spatial relationships, but also with the ways in which people can possibly move through space given the goals that they want to achieve. We therefore want to predict the behaviour of people moving through urban environments based on observations about their purchases. In this project, we will explore how can models of commonsense knowledge can be used for automated reasoning to answer geospatial queries and to infer consumer behaviour.

Amelioration d’un code de mesure de champs de deformation par correlation d’images

Le but de ce projet de recherche est de poursuivre Ie developpement d’un code de mesures de deformations par correlation d’images. II s’agit d’une technique permettant d’evaluer les deformations subies par une piece sollicitee mecaniquement a partir d’images prises a di fferents instants. Le principe consiste a com parer chaque image deformee a une image de reference, et a calculer la transformation qui pennet de passer de I’une a l’autre. Cette methode a pour avantage d’etre adimensionnelle, sans contact, et d’etre applicable a des pieces reelles aussi bien qu ‘a des echantillons testes en laboratoire. Son objectifpremier est de mettre en evidence les heterogeneites de deformation. En lien avec d’ autres techniques de caracterisation, elle contribue a une meilleure comprehension des mecanismes a I’ origine de I’endommagement des pieces de structure, ainsi qu’a I ‘anticipation de leur fin de vie.

The Black Experience Project (BEP) in the Greater Toronto Area

This project provides the groundwork and covers the critical first steps of a multi-year research study that examines the lived experience of Black Canadians in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The purpose of this larger study is to better understand the nature of the challenges facing the Black community, through exploring the lived experiences of individuals within this community (focusing on values, identity, aspirations and experiences), and the factors leading to success or failure. The literature review will provide an analytical framework and will help to contextualize this project within the body of literature that has been written on the experiences of Black individuals in both Canada and the United States. The collection, organization, and synthesis of this literature will also help to shift attention from overt barriers, such as those “cultural/social phenomena that motivate discriminatory behavior” (Robinson, 2009, p. 98).

The Saskatoon Society for the Protection of Children-Marketing and Rebranding

Saskatoon Society for the Protection of Children Inc. (SSPC), a not-for-profit organization, focuses on providing services to children and families that will allow for the safety of children and the healthy development of families. Previously, the organization was working on a professional rebranding, including a name change. Therefore, this project would include supporting SSPC to actualize and implement the new brand to increase visibility, including transitioning the agency through the name change and communicating with various stakeholders. Marketing the new brand to the public and donors is an important activity. The internship would allow SSPC to establish its messaging in the public view. The organization has resources to make it work, but does not have the knowledge base or manpower in the current staff complement. The internship will provide a strong foundation in this area for SSPC as it represents many hours in an intensive period. An effective marketing plan can help SSPC build its brand awareness and attract more sponsors. The sponsorship and a known brand enable SSPC to assist more families and vulnerable children in and around the Saskatoon area. Providing children with a pleasant environment will benefit our society in the long run.

Testbed for New Energy-Efficient Data Center

Data centers are being deployed worldwide. They provide the fundamental computing and communication resources for both business customers and regular consumers. Different from traditional data centers, today’s data centers must have the capability to provide services to millions of users on a dynamic basis. New data centers are designed to deploy large number of commodity servers and low-cost Ethernet switches to achieve scalability and cost efficiency. Energy consumption is another major issue that must be addressed. This project is proposed to address the cost and energy efficiency issues by developing a new type of optical networks. It is well-known that optical networks are the most cost-effective communication networks in terms of the bandwidth they carry. However to make optical networks fit into the ecosystem of data centers, some changes are required. This project will develop a testbed that deploys new optical devices based on the passive optical network concept.

Development of Residential HVAC and Air Conditioning Demand Management and Control System – Wireless Sensor Network Design

Canada ranks very poorly in terms of energy usage per capita and in energy efficiency. As a large portion of this energy is used by buildings, saving the energy consumed by buildings will significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Efforts are underway to incorporate various energy-preserving and generating techniques to create such “Net Zero” (or even Net Positive) energy consuming buildings. These buildings will be equipped with information and communication technology (ICT) backbone to maximize the energy production by renewable sources and minimize energy consumption by having constant communication with the external smart grid. Intelligent wireless sensor networks sensing various parameters such as temperature, humidity, illumination level and occupancy levels to achieve this goal. Therefore an intelligent sensing, communication and control network will be an integral part of smart buildings. The development of such an ICT backbone is the focus of this project.
