Novaxe: Novel Online System for Guitar Music Score Recognition, Retrieval, Presentation, and Animation

This project is going to digitalize a patented method of presenting the guitar tablature and build an online system to assist guitar teaching. The new method invented by Mr. Mark Vandendool can present the guitar tablature with 8 building clocks. People can easily learn the chores of thousands of songs, which is impossible with the other methods. The system is called Novaxe. Novaxe is going to have a graph screen to display the fretboard with the information about the chord progression, rhythm pattern, tempo, key, `position`, song form, chord form, title, artist, year, and genre of a song. The fretboard contains the map of the scale notes as diamonds, and temporary chord tones as circles underneath. There are several difficulties in this project. First, the search function needs some sophisticated algorithm to search for songs in the library. Detecting of the music patterns is not an easy task and there is no 100% accuracy as there are different interpretations of music patterns. Second, the animation required on the user interface is complicated. And all the animation needs to be implemented by JavaScript. Third, the storage of the songs is unique than the business logic we are used to in database-design

Streamlining Medical Administration: Developing an AI Solution for Automating Medical Form Processing in Canada

Physicians in Canada spend significant time on administrative tasks, including completing paperwork that requires filling out various forms in different formats. It is estimated that most physicians spend about 19 hours per week on paperwork. Such demands not only lead to burnout but also detract from patient care. Moreover, this additional workload is also an impediment to caring for physicians’ patients. To reduce the administrative workload of physicians, this project aims to investigate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically fill medical forms by extracting data from unstructured and unlabelled medical documents. The project will start by conducting structured interviews and surveys with physicians to understand the specific requirements and experiences with administrative tasks. Subsequently, machine learning and natural language processing techniques will be used to develop a prototype solution for analyzing medical records and filling out forms automatically. This project will use publicly available datasets and/or synthetic data for training and validation. Finally, the project aims to explore future directions for developing a complete AI-based solution that has the potential to fill out a variety of forms in different formats.

Developing Climate Action Policy Exemplars for School Districts of British Columbia

Climate change is a significant challenge we’re facing today, affecting ecosystems, economies, and societies globally. In Canada, there’s a strong push to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, with British Columbia leading the charge through initiatives like CleanBC, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030. In order to support these goals, the British Columbia School Trustees Association (BCSTA) is collaborating with relevant ministries to develop a strategy for a 50% reduction in emissions. This involves investigating how school districts across BC are addressing climate action and creating exemplars to help improve climate efforts in schools. The project includes three objectives: first, to assess existing climate action policies in BC school boards; second, to develop practical examples based on successful approaches identified during the research; and third, to benchmark climate action exemplars with climate action champions. These exemplars will cover various strategies, policies, and programs tailored to different types of school districts. By adopting these examples, BC school districts can enhance their efforts to tackle climate change.

Measurement of carrier mobility and lifetime in blocking layers of a-Se X-ray detectors

The amorphous selenium (a-Se) based active matrix flat-panel imager (AMFPI) has demonstrated promising performance in breast imaging, exhibiting high image quality and dynamic range. However, sensitivity variation due to previous x-ray exposures, known as ghosting, is a common phenomenon in direct conversion detectors, which can lead to the incorrect interpretation of breast images for diagnosis and screening. The trapped charge carriers in the multi-layer a-Se detector are believed to be responsible for this ghosting phenomenon. In this project, the charge carrier lifetime in the different layers of the detector will be investigated and its effects on the ghosting phenomenon of the AMFPI will be determined.
