As online educational platforms and blogs such as Coursera, Edublog, Korbit Technologies Inc. etc. are becoming increasingly popular, a great way for students to learn is to solve QA problems on educational texts. Students also learn by getting answers to their questions. Since manual QA generation of huge content of educational texts seems impracticable, an […]

To improve traveller services in train stations, SNCF and Keolis Canada seek to develop a mobile application for real-time geo-localisation based on still images captured by the user on its smartphone. This would allow guidance through the station and provide key information. This project will develop a Deep Learning (DL) model for accurate and real-time […]

Financial data are known to be generated from complex distributions, often assumed to be changing over time. The aim of this project is to build a simulator of multivariate time series, parameterized as simply as possible by a user, with the freedom to build different models, to assess their general behavior and key properties. This […]

The main objective of this project is to address Goal One of the AGH Strategy for Future Success; Improving information management and systems integration for greater collaboration, efficiency and effectiveness. The goal is broken down into three enabling strategies which include; develop and implement an enterprise content management strategy; look at ways to improve system […]

Video Games require a vast array of different computations to present the desired experience. These computations must be completed consistently to make the software responsive to the user. The industry trend towards many separate processors (multi-core) in the same physical device and the emergence of network based ‘cloud’ computing have created many opportunities, but also […]

This research focuses on the development of machine learning and natural language processing techniques for adaptive chatbots that can converse with users and learn about the world. The outcome will be a generic bot that can be instantiated with different personalities and knowledge bases to entertain users of the popular Kik messenger about different topics. […]

This research project is part of a bigger initiative driven by Tangente AI and BusPas that fits into the context of intelligent mobility within “smart cities” and is focuses on improving the urban logistics services for the transport of citizens/passengers. More specifically, by leveraging on the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and applications, within the […]

The Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) documents should be deconstructed by experts to create action items to track compliance performance, audits, or for compliance certification. Modifications in the regulations, changes in the site conditions, mergers and acquisitions occur frequently and should be processed by experts. The manual processing of the text documents to extract different […]

C-Therm Technologies’ TCi Thermal Analyzer, measures quickly and non-destructively the thermal properties of liquids, powders, pastes and solids with very low conductivity and up to 120 W/mK. The TCi controller currently communicates with a single PC host using a limited resource 8 bit microcontroller. In this project we will investigate the firmware changes needed to […]

Organizations can benefit from consulting with citizens to build better and sustainable neighborhoods in local areas. It is usually challenging to get citizens engaged. Traditionally, techniques used for engagement involve people participating in public meetings personally. This can be intimidating and inconvenient for some. PlaceSpeak provides an online environment to advance citizen participation. It also […]

Radiologists use x-ray images of the human thoracic cavity to diagnose many diseases. One of the most common diagnoses, an enlarged heart, is detected by measure the cardiothoracic ratio – the ratio of the heart diameter to that of the thoracic cavity. Radiologists measure the cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) manually. This process is time-consuming and error-prone. […]

Lenses have a variety of attributes that define the performance of the optical system. These include issues such as chromatic aberration, field curvature, distortion, vignetting and radial symmetry. However, one of the most important attributes is the sharpness of focus. The purpose of this project is to research improved focusing methods for Point Grey Research […]
