The objective of this project is to create market sentiment indicators for cryptocurrencies. Market sentiment indicators are built from text analysis of exchanges on Twitter and other sources, that may include embedded or references images (e.g., price curves) and videos. The text dataset for cryptocurrencies may have a very structure from that of traditional currencies. […]

Many conversational agents blend the functionalities of question-answering and chit-chat into a single system. This lays the foundation for a more interactive type of question-answering models which is the primary focus of the research project. Interaction between a user and the agent allows the user to ask an underdefined or ambiguous question, and, instead of […]

Modern visual effect films rely on photorealistic, believable, synthesized humans and characters. Often these characters are used as stand-ins for the hero character in a film and are referred to as digital doubles. In the past, digital doubles have been limited in use due to cost or complexity. As the demand for the use of […]

In distributed computing settings, data privacy is of paramount importance (e.g., mobile or medical devices). Federated Learning (FL) empowered the state-of-the-art deep neural network model to provide AI solutions to clients while keeping the client data private in distributed computing settings. Communication between different devices is one of the main bottlenecks of FL model because […]
