NS Power is modernizing the electricity grid as a step closer to achieving a cleaner, more reliable, and affordable energy future for Nova Scotia. Smart meters are the standard in electrical meters. They are sophisticated, digital devices that record electricity use and send it to the company through a safe, secure wireless connection. These smart […]

During the last decade, we observe in organizations a surge of numbers of cyber-attacks originating internally. In this project, we aim to develop deep learning models to detect suspicious activity (such as malicious events, system failure or attacks) from log data generated by the Desjardins ecosystem.

McElhanney provides Engineering and Surveying services across Canada. They want to leverage the AI feature extraction work conducted in 2021 – 22 (Mitacs Accelerate IT23104) whereby the University of Alberta interns helped to extract physical municipal assets (fire hydrants, street lights, manholes, curbs, etc.) from detailed terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data, i.e., LiDAR point-clouds. This […]

Echocardiography is widely used for scanning cardiac patients to assess the health of their hearts. Despite its wide use, echocardiography suffers from a few limitations, including the limited field-of-view and longer scanning times. We propose a product using a collaborative robot arm to overcome these limitations. Our project allows scanning the heart from different locations […]

The main goal of this project is to digitalize food waste at home for a sustainable future using at-home composters. We will develop dedicated machine learning algorithms to detect, segment, and classify various food waste generated in the kitchen, making it possible for everyone to immediately estimate the quality and nutrients of the generated compost […]

Authentic.Art is developing a digital registry built on a hybrid of proprietary databases and blockchain in order to provide a service to insurance companies specialized in fine art. It is using blockchain in order to provide traceability of transactions as well as an immutable source of truth for insurers to rely on for their audits […]

Our company is developing an AI-powered clinical documentation platform. In the proposed project, the intern will assist us in building robust and scalable cloud-based web applications for operations carried out in Outpatient Physical Therapy clinics. They will support the design and security of our cloud infrastructure to comply with HIPAA and other privacy regulations and […]

We have aspired for a green and intelligent future, where humans, the built environment, and nature are interconnected as a cyber-physical system. To such an Internet of Things, the sustainability and robustness of the power system are crucial, and the reliable operation of the battery-based energy storage systems is essential because of their abilities in […]

All data-driven solutions today start with the ingestion (input) of data. Typically that data is messy and unlabelled. However, downstream consumers of data benefit from well-labelled data. Data labelling (assigning categories, data types, privacy and sensitivity tags, source characteristics, etc.) is usually an error-prone, time-consuming, manual effort. There are no readily available off-the-shelf tools that […]

Much of the performance in today’s computing devices such as mobiles, desktops, supercomputers, etc. can be attributed to concurrency – the ability to perform more than one task simultaneously. In addition, performance of software that run on such devices greatly benefit from the compiler (software that translates our code to be run by hardware) that […]

Digital image forgery has become a worldwide pandemic, with many forms of forgery (e.g., insurance fraud, fake news, identity theft) negatively affecting our life. This effect could be attributed to the accessible costs of mobile phones and digital cameras, which has led to an exponential proliferation of digital images, and the availability of many image […]

The healthcare industry is focusing on utilizing emerging technologies to make healthcare systems secure, interoperable, and efficient. Blockchain technology offers promising features, such as immutability, security, traceability and decentralization, appropriate for clinical healthcare interoperability and data sharing. This project is part of Lab2Market program, which provides a commercial opportunity to utilize blockchain technology, a new […]
