Northern Alberta Business Incubator (NABI) in St. Albert, is home to over 90 small businesses in various stages of their development. NABI supports businesses that are home-based or virtual to those that need space to launch and grow through incubation facilities, memberships, amenities, and business programs. NABI also function as a conduit to connect entrepreneurs […]

The objective of this project is to construct optimal data structures for the range closest pair (RCP) problem. The RCP problem aims to construct a data structure such that whenever a specific query range is given, the closest point-pair among those inside the given range can be reported efficiently. The RCP problem has been studied […]

The internet has become a critical resource central to the provision of nearly every essential service, whether related to business, employment, social support, government, education, health, food, or leisure. As such, it is increasingly difficult for individuals who lack reliable, regular access to the internet to fully participate in society and obtain critical information. To […]

Les outils basés sur l’intelligence artificielle sont de plus en plus utilisés dans des contextes d’inspection d’infrastructures, où un expert devait normalement passer beaucoup de temps à manuellement visiter puis annoter les portions problématiques. Un problème persiste toutefois pour leur applicabilité : la quantité de supervision requise pour entraîner ces méthodes d’IA. Le projet proposé […]

L’intelligence artificielle (IA) commence à être déployée dans le domaine du contrôle non destructif. Il s’agit d’analyser, par intelligence artificielle, de grandes quantités de données, notamment ultrasonores (ce sont des échographies de matériaux métalliques, composites ou autres), pour y détecter des défauts de fabrication ou d’usure (par exemple des trous, de la corrosion, etc.). L’application […]

Computer vision systems are a key component for autonomous vehicles and driver assistance. To be robust, such systems must be able to handle challenging conditions such as night driving and rain. Previously Algolux proposed multimodal sensor fusion using RGB, gated and lidar for robust object detection and dense depth estimation under low light and adverse […]

The proposed project is to research and develop a user review analysis system for mobile games using machine learning and natural language processing techniques. Traditionally, user review analyses are done by humans, which is inefficient and relatively slow. The project will involve research in the specific areas of topic modeling, sentiment analysis and opinion spam […]

Smart contracts are computer programs on the Ethereum network. For a variety of reasons, such as security concerns, we would like to be able to analyze these smart contracts. However, the source code is only available for a limited subset of these contracts. But, the result of the compilation of these contracts, the bytecode, is […]

Capturing high quality images is a major selling point of modern flagship smartphones. However, due to physical constraints on sensor size, capturing a good image with a mobile phone is challenging especially in low-light conditions. To obtain a bright image, one has to use a long exposure or digitally gain up a short exposure image. […]

In AI safety, compliance ensures that a model adheres to operational specifications at runtime to avoid adverse events for the end user. This proposal looks at increasing the suite of compliance testing and verification tools available to ML practitioners by implementing two more tools, CGDTest and Goose. The overall goal is to develop both proposed […]

The increased demand for reliable and useful human resource information has pushed the subject to the top of the practitioners’ agenda. Accordingly, human resource and capital management is also one of Scotiabank’s core priorities. As an ever-growing multinational company that employs a large number of employees, human resource information reporting is a vital service for […]

Cya Inc. is a Toronto-based company that is creating communal experiences around content for a modern digitized world. Our mission is to make digital interaction a seamless experience. Movie theater attendance has been falling prior to the pandemic. Only 14% of people were found to go to movie theaters one or more times a month […]
