Pragmatic Automated Code Transformation Leveraging Large Language Models

With recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) designed for coding, Artificial Intelligence for Software Engineering (AI4SE) remains pivotal in enhancing both developer productivity and software quality. However, to excel at more specialized SE tasks like code transformation, companies still need to optimize LLMs to their specific context to avoid LLMs’ tendency to “hallucinate”, i.e., […]

Automatic Document Redaction

Document redaction has long been a heavy manual work. When governments and companies need to make documents available either internally or externally, they would need to hire someone with enough professional background to manually cross-out the sensitive information in the documents. The process is both time consuming and expensive. Thanks to the fast advances in […]

Research on Robust Face Recognition Algorithms

In recent years, face recognition algorithms based on deep neural networks have achieved human-level performance when tested on face recognition database. However, when put into real-world application, those algorithms are not robust enough, due to factors such as different lighting conditions, camera distance, and face orientations. In this project, the university team and the partner […]

A system for explainable recommendations

This research aims to develop a system that generates explainable recommendations. Mobio currently allows merchants to offer items to users, but does not employ recent advances in recommender systems. This project will allow Mobio to build on the expertise of Dr. Chiang in related relational learning problems to create such a system, and provide a […]

Combining Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to understand product and consumer behavior in retail environments

The project is about developing a «smart store» system that will allow understanding customer and product behavior. This system will be based on Internet of Things (IoT) technologies allowing any object (product or person) to communicate automatically with its environment. Hence, our system will be used for tracking items and monitor consumer behavior in real […]

Advancing Data Science Research for Social Good

Due to rapid development of technology, such as the Internet of Things, collecting data is easier and cheaper than ever before. As a result, municipal governments and urban centres across Canada are being inundated with data—data that have potential to improve public service. Despite this, local governments do not have enough data expertise to extract […]
