Recent technological advances in data collection, transmission, visualization, and machine learning make it possible to develop healthcare systems with the aim of monitoring the health status of patients. Pediatric Cardiologists rely on referrals from family physicians for abnormal heart conditions. Family physicians are not trained well enough to recognize abnormal murmurs and err on the […]

Typical natural language understanding (NLU) models like the ones deployed in virtual assistant (VA) systems are designed to work for a finite set of pre-defined domains. Ideally, if the text representation of a spoken utterance does not belong to the supported set of domains the NLU model would produce a response with low confidence score […]

Originating in 2008 with Bitcoin, blockchain technologies have reached recognition as the infrastructure powering cryptocurrencies. Smart contracts have provided the programmability needed to support a second generation of decentralized applications, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and decentralized finances (DeFi). We are now ushering in a third wave, where the technology is crossing the digital boundary […]

This project aims to integrate a chat interface into the UpBeing app to allow users to engage more deeply with their insights. It consists of informing a large language model (LLM) of a user’s most recent insights, which will give it real time ground truth a users’ recent experience, thereby empowering the LLM to provide […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

In this project, we propose to develop innovative methods to improve the efficiency of yard operations in intermodal terminals where containers awaiting to be loaded on the trains are temporarily stored. The management of yard operations involves allocating storage space to containers on the yard, and assigning cranes and/or other handling equipment to transfer the […]
