Creating a comparison and alert methodology for managing the CCTX feed

Most collaborations and government departments share their threat data feed in Data Exchange. Inescapably, nowadays with increasing threat data, it is a challenge to extract a large amount of threat data and unify the format more quickly. And as more and more companies join in sharing, the redundancy of this duplicate data will increase dramatically. […]

Méthode algorithmique d’apprentissage pour améliorer l’impact de systèmes de dialogue

Le stagiaire entreprendra la tâche d’améliorer la robustesse des systèmes de dialogue de la Banque nationale. Afin qu’un système de dialogue soit apprécié par les utilisateurs, il est primordial que cette technologie réponde de façon appropriée à une question. Une erreur propagera de la fausse information et diminuera la crédibilité de l’organisation, deux graves problèmes. […]

Spatially-aware lighting estimation

We present a method for automatically estimating the lighting conditions from a single image. As opposed to most previous works which proposed methods that estimate only global lighting or use a limited illumination representation (low frequency SSH, parametric model), the proposed method attempt to use a new spatially-varying light representation with realist texture to render […]

Improving technology for identifying environmental microplastics with machine learning

The average human consumes a credit card worth of plastic every week as a result of environmental microplastics. The tools and technology that are currently used to analyze chemical compound structures to identify polymer types in microplastics research are not well-calibrated for field-specific use. Raman spectroscopy data from microplastics samples is imperfect. Furthermore, plastics that […]

AI-driven evaluation of clinical electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings

The proposed project is part of a large-scale collaboration between SFU’s Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience Institute (BCNI) and Fraser Health Authority(FHA) in the domain of AI applied to clinical electroencephalographic (EEG) scans recorded and evaluated in the process of diagnostic workup in FHA’s public hospitals (n>40’000). The key goal of the SFU/FHA collaboration is to […]

Targeted Incentive Offering for At-Risk Customers in an E-Commerce Setting

In this project, we focus on increasing sales in e-commerce shops by offering purchasing incentives to shoppers who are likely to leave without buying. More specifically, our goal is to predict which shoppers are likely to abandon their shopping cart and what can be done while they’re still on the site to customize their shopping […]

Extracting 3D pose from video potentially using Neural ODEs

The project is self-contained. The goal of the project is to develop advanced AI assisted tools for artistic game development. It is anticipated that the advanced modeling of pose based on a mix of 3D motion capture (MOCAP) data and videos capturing human motion will help create advanced AI assisted game design tools that will […]

Advanced Network Intrusion Detection Using Automated Algorithms and Threat Models

Computer attacks such as viruses, Trojans, etc. are a continuous problem for governments, companies, and individuals. The most common methods of detecting these computer problems like anti-virus systems rely on an attack being known and described before it can be detected. This opens a hole in computer security systems for new attacks that have not […]

Software quality monitoring using AI/ML techniques

This project aims at employing AI and machine learning techniques to monitor and improve software quality. The quality of the system is to be measured by several metrics including the number of existing software defects, the normal/abnormal behavior of the system, test quality, test coverage, etc. The project focuses on studying historical data and trends […]

3D spine imaging using tracked ultrasound and artificial intelligence

Obtaining accurate images of the spine is important for different medical purposes. For example, to measure how deformed the spine is in patients with scoliosis and select the most suitable treatment. Images can also be used to guide a clinician while inserting a needle to reach a exact location in the spine to administer anesthesia. […]
