Le choc économique de […]

The proposed work will lead to mechanisms for reducing the negative effects of Cognitive Biases – automatic, unconscious elements of the human reasoning system known to cause decision errors. While the outcomes of Cognitive Biases have been studied for decades, there has been almost no research into how to reduce or eliminate their negative effects. […]

At a high level, the goal of this project is to create a system for producing synthetic datasets based on real data. As a large financial crime detection firm, Verafin deals with large volumes of sensitive data which must be kept private, however they are also interested in collaborating with academics to gain new insights […]

Reproductive Longevity (RL) is a complex biological trait under the control of many genes. In livestock, RL of female breeders is a key productivity factor, especially for dairy cows. The genes that determine RL in humans are potential sources of diagnostic and therapeutic innovations for fertility and reproductive health. The proposed research aims to identify […]

5G mobile networks will support a wide range of services beyond traditional voice and data services, such as augmented/virtual reality, autonomous vehicle control, and smart cities, which will open new revenue streams for the mobile network operators. Network slicing is an enabling technology for partitioning the physical network into multiple network slices, each tailored to […]

In this project, we propose the use of blockchains to provide reliability, security, and transparency for collecting and querying IoT data in the energy sector. In particular, we will implement and evaluate our blockchain solution for enabling transactions in local energy markets, where homeowners have the capacity to generate energy (through renewables), stock energy (through […]

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’ […]
