This project aims to understand and improve upon the shortcomings of physically based virtual human characters within virtual environments such as video games. Current physics-based character control methods tend to be too stiff, too strong, and too smart. That is, they do not respond in a natural loose manner to perturbations, they tend to use […]

In this study, we are exploring how Artificial Neural Networks compare to the brain on the task of face recognition. We are using a FaceNet model trained using different loss functions and comparing them to how the brain works. We are curious to see how well these instructions make the computer’s recognition similar to how […]

Machine learning (ML) has become an indispensable tool in the mining industry, significantly enhancing operational efficiency, ensuring safety, and optimizing resource management. Its ability to process and analyze large datasets is pivotal in facilitating informed decision-making and reducing operational costs. This project leverages data analytics to augment mining operations planning, with two primary objectives: 1. […]

In this research project, we would like to improve game testing using Reinforcement Learning (RL). By using RL, we can create intelligent agents that can play games independently and give us valuable feedback on the game’s quality. This will make game testing more effective and efficient. We also plan to explore a new approach called […]

This project is an R&D project intended to solve the problem relating to a piece of machinery, a retail kiosk for distribution of age-restricted beverages, that has overall reliability issues due to a compounding of sub-optimally performing devices and subsystems exacerbated by competing timeouts; and unpredictability of human users.

MOTTIV Technologies and the University of Alberta team will create an “AI coach” which is a language based chatbot that will communicate to athletes, who use the MOTTIV app, with a defined vocabulary at the back-end effective for a coach-athlete relationship and training. The goal is to make the “Coach MO” chatbot proactive, engaging, motivating […]

Creative Emporium provides digital Accounting System Maintenance, minimizing human intervention. The current software does not have an intelligent engine to automate cash flow analysis and budget analysis. This process takes hours for an accountant to do manually and the results are not that accurate due to human errors. The General objective of this proposal is […]

Big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using onhand database management tools or traditional data processing applications. The challenges include capture, curation, storage, search, sharing, transfer, analysis, and visualization. In this internship, we analyze a real-world big data set(s) to make sensible inferences by […]

Amélioration d’une plateforme B2B d’approvisionnement en agroalimentaire afin de favoriser le circuit-court. En particulier, l’ajout de fonctionnalités permettant de facilement créer et gérer des offres collectives à partir de la plateforme Arrivage. Ces nouvelles fonctionnalités permettront aux régions, pôles alimentaires et autres organismes collectif d’utiliser la plateforme pour créer et gérer une offre combinant les […]
