Advanced anti-debug for web applications

Web based anti-debug is a critical technology prevent dynamic attacks to web applications within browser environments. Irdeto has developed a set of essential anti-debug techniques that are used for projects of POC and products for protecting web applications. The research is to understand anti-debug techniques from the public domain, is developed in house, and will […]

Using Text Mining Techniques to Analyze Notes in Financial Statements

Firms meet legally established accounting rules by including notes in financial statements that essentially hide key information in plain sight. That is, they contain information necessary to understand the statements, but due to the volume of notes and arcane language may be uninterpretable by even lawyers. However, these notes may be interpretable by a software […]

Facilitating Discovery of Books Through Proactive User Cues

Search and recommendations drive the majority of sales at KOBO. It is therefore critical to continually improve and tune these algorithms. Our project will explore several questions dealing with integrating information provided by users in order to optimize search and recommendation algorithms: how to integrate user-generated tags in order to enhance search (rather than simply […]

Creation of arbitrary geometric shapes for pellet packing optimization

The demand for renewable and clean energy alternatives is steadily increasing due to the cost and environmental concerns of traditional fossil-based fuels. Wood pellet fuel is one such renewable alternate energy source, manufactured by Pacific Bioenergy, Prince George, BC. These wood pellets are transported via rail and subsequently loaded onto vessels for trans-ocean shipment. The […]

Dynamic clustering of temporally incremental energy consumption patterns in a knowledge cloud

This project will develop a new mechanism for grouping objects in a dynamic environment, where new objects are regularly added with limited or incomplete information. Furthermore, the information about the existing and new objects increases over time. This new grouping mechanism will be called dynamic clustering of temporally incremental patterns. The proposal will be tested […]
