Blockchain is a well-known immutable, transparent and anti-counterfeit platform. As such it can be appropriate for submitting certificates for validation and safe-keeping. However, because of its requirements for complex and heavy computations for enhanced security and verification of each submission in the network, in this proposal, we have decided to conduct an experimental study to […]

Users on the League platform have access to a number of health and wellness benefits including massage, physiotherapy, personal trainers and a variety of other programs; however, not all of them fully utilize them to maximize their wellbeing. Utilizing the health and program utilization data we want to develop robust personalized predictions that will suggest […]

Data science is an interdisciplinary field that combines statistics, computer science, and domain knowledge. The rise of data science has fundamentally changed how people solve problems in all kinds of industries. To fill the talent gap, SFU professional master’s program (PMP) was launched in 2014. In this Mitacs cluster project, SFU PMP will collaborate with […]

SOTI has developed a software product called SOTI SNAP that allows anyone to create an app with no programming or technical knowledge. SOTI SNAP allows users to create apps by dragging and dropping widgets onto a canvas and connecting them together to create an app. With SOTI SNAP apps can be created in minutes and […]

With the advancement of modern technology, especially the increase in network speed, videos are taking more and more important places among media types. With vast potential applications, video recognition has received great attention. However, video recognition is a non-trivial task: a lot of training data are needed for complicated neural networks, but annotated data are […]

Forests are one of Canada’s greatest commodities in terms of natural resources—almost two-thirds of British Columbia alone is populated by forests, measuring 60 million hectares. Worldwide, forests continue to impact global infrastructure, economy and environment. Understanding how to monitor and track usage and health of our forests is essential for the management and longevity of […]

Currently, testing the population more at risk to be severely ill is a cumbersome process. There is a limit to the capacity and the resources of the healthcare system that show a need to be more efficient in discovering infected person. Being able to quickly detect infected person helps reduce the risk of infecting others […]

The first objective is to use ML to reduce the modeling error in predicting the end-of-growth of a batch, reducing the emission of CO2 and water consumption of synthesized products. The second objective is to formulate the algorithms to facilitate its integration into our analytics solution. The third objective is to validate shared learning when […]

The project aims to optimize healthcare provider and patient safety and monitor PPE use, to optimize resource utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic. Assessment of surgical data from an operating room is a complex process that may require significant resources such as expert input and advanced technology. Automation brings a considerable opportunity to greatly reducing these […]

The software Antidote (www.antidote.info) is capable of correcting English and French corpuses. It detects thousands of types of errors. We want to add new types of correction using modules based on deep learning. The detection of missing words is a type of correction that we want to address in this internship. Here is an example […]

This project aims to predict demand and inventory shortages for better inventory management in health care institutions. This will initially allow for a reduction in the expenses generated by emergency orders placed during a stock shortage. Indeed, it will be possible for the establishment to order a larger quantity of the product from the supplier […]
