This research project entails the development and user study assessment of a prototype participatory urban planning tool for the City of Hamilton (Virtual Hamilton), which integrates GIS data with a 3D virtual city model to facilitate stakeholder visualization, collaboration, content contribution, and communication. In consultation with City of Hamilton ward councilors and urban renewal, planning […]

Developing subject-based social media requires proper interaction with the users by learning and analyzing their profile and dynamically incorporating their opinion. In this project, a crowd-based profiling of users with respect to their peers will be developed and confidence factor calculated based on the collective opinion of the crowd will be assigned to the individuals’ […]

Part A. Mapping Economic, social, and health ecosystem and agencies in Greater Saint John Project Outcomes: 1. Understand the interdependencies amongst the actors and the customers they serve creating awareness and transparency in the components of the larger system 2. Move from a linear approach to a systems perspective to assist in understanding who is […]

The goal of the project is to generate realistic human movement in 3D animations. This is important to make movement animations in games and movies appear real. Typically, creating high quality animations is a resource and time consuming process that requires the participation of human actors in motion capture sessions. In this work, we present […]

Terrestrial contaminated sites – such as abandoned oilfields, chemical spill sites, or former industrial zones – are a major environmental problem in Canada and around the world. Environmental Material Science has created new environmental monitoring equipment that generates high-resolution spatially and temporally explicit data on environmental quality. The data must be visualized and then used […]

DNA methylation is a biological process that involves the chemical modification of DNA with methyl groups at specific regions of a chromosome. DNA methylation and demethylation change the processes associated with turning on and off genes. Changes in DNA methylation patterns can be influences by environmental forces which are recorded at the molecular level and […]

ChrysaLabs développe des solutions technologiques innovantes pour améliorer l’intégration des connaissances sur la santé et la fertilité du sol dans les pratiques agricoles. L’un des défis les plus importants dans l’amélioration des pratiques agricoles est de comprendre l’impact des changements de pratiques sur l’amélioration du rendement et sur l’environnement. L’objectif de ce projet est de […]

Scrawlr is a platform for unconstrained, global interaction with all internet content and users. Scrawlr allows for user evaluation and unconstrained classification of any Scrawlr-hosted or non-Scrawlr content. For non-Scrawlr content, this evaluation and classification allowance will be first at the URL level but will subsequently be provided at the individual content component level. Scrawlr […]

The project aims at developing a new type of Reinforcement Learning algorithm that would allow to retain more control over the artificial agent once its training is completed. This framework would combine modern unsupervised modeling techniques to capture the variability of a set of demonstrations and user-defined programmatic functions that can characterise particularly important factors […]

A prototype Forex currency trading system has demonstrated a proof of concept on a static data set. The current project proposes to implement the trading system for real-time applications. Foreign currency trading (Forex) is a high risk activity where low stakes multiply out to large gains and large losses.The trading activity is time dependent and […]

Cancers are heterogeneous disease that hijack many of the body’s normal biological processes. Additionally, tens of thousands of genes are involved in each person’s normal biology, while only a fraction of those are repurposed by cancers to drive disease. At an individual level, utilizing entire transcriptomes is rare, as there is too much information for […]
