Meto est une plateforme d’intelligence distribuée qui exploite le plein potentiel du Cloud et des processus collaboratifs entre agents humains dans le but d’améliorer la prise de décision dans des situations minées par le risque et l’incertitude. Pour ce faire, il est nécessaire de mettre à la disposition des décideurs un ensemble pertinent d’information obtenu […]

In an alien or possibly hostile environment, the situation awareness of a remote robot operator will be limited. Map information may not be known beforehand. The site may also be in a dynamic state where changes occur in the surrounding in any moment. The main objective of this project is to develop novel technologies to […]

Automatic harvesting of mushroom produce is a promising opportunity for mushroom growers to increase their revenues. This increased revenue will be obtained through savings in human labour as well as the expected increase in yield and quality due to the consistency of automated solutions compared to manual ones. Automated harvesting solutions do already exist for […]

With more and more buildings being controlled by automation systems, one would expect their energy performance to be optimised. This is not the case however. Buildings can still go out of tune, and building operators can become overwhelmed by the alarms sounding from the automation systems, not knowing how to prioritize them. SES consulting is […]

In this project we attempt to research and develop from ground up a scalable distributed computing based recommendation engine using machine learning. A computer science student from the University of Toronto will work with Side Effects Software at their Toronto office to implement the research intensive recommendation engine algorithm and integrate it in the smart […]

People are social creatures and interacting with others is a fundamental human behavior. As people spend more time online, a larger part of their social life also become online. Online Forums such as Reddit have become very popular because of this. In this project, we want to define the what health means with regards to […]

Over 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression. A key part in diagnosing depression is screening questionnaires, which rely on patient self-reports of the recent past. With the advent of social media and wearable devices, there is an opportunity for a novel approach to detecting when a patient diagnosed with chronic depression becomes acute. In […]

The primary functions of the Risk Alive Analytics tool are to predict risk and time to unsafe days and predict the occurrence of hazardous events (incidents with the potential to cause injury to personnel, damage to the environment, or financial loss) at given processing facility(s) and in addition develop a Risk Profile of a facility […]

The business of Molecular You Inc. (MYCO) is to provide a comprehensive Personalized Medicine bioinformatic and health monitoring program for disease prevention, detection, and treatment that integrates “omics“ data with behavioral, and environmental data for customers and their caregivers. This project is part of a larger initiative that “seeks to innovate in the way people […]

Extensive research has been conducted for the computational analysis of mass spectrometry based proteomics data, however most of the traditional computational approaches take the assumption that the acquired spectra are generated from the fragmentation of a single precursor and the peptide is simply a linear sequence of amino acid residues. This ubiquitous assumption is impeding […]

User intention prediction of event data, collected during the business process, has become an important topic in Web Analysis and Business Intelligence. Commercial organizations have realized its importance for providing cost-effective opportunities to improve their decision-making in digital marketing strategies. We aim to develop and implement a statistical prediction model to make the prediction of […]

Intrusion detection has attracted the attention of many researchers in identifying the ever-increasing issue of intrusive activities. In particular, anomaly detection has been the main focus of many researchers due to its potential in detecting novel attacks. However, its adoption to real-world applications has been hampered due to system complexity as these systems require a […]
