Metafor is developing a new class of IT system management solutions and as a part of this, Metafor wants a method to show differences between multiple deployed instances of an application. Metafor would also like to have the ability to group many application in different clusters based on their structural similarities. We would like to […]

Due to the voluntary nature of the open source software, it can be hard to find a developer to work on a particular task. For example, some issue reports may be too cumbersome and unexciting for someone to volunteer to do them, yet these issue reports may be of high priority to the success of […]

The use of unconventional heavy oil, such as the bitumen derived from oil sands, has progressively increased, placing these materials as a compelling alternative to meet short- and long-term energy demands. Nevertheless, the current technologies available to exploit and upgrade this crude have critical challenges, such as high production costs, lower energy efficiency, and, even […]

This project aims to combine two different sources on merchant ship movement, AIS and satellite images. AIS data is emitted by every merchant ship above a certain size, which allows the ship to be tracked from the coastline. The goal of this project is to use both these sources of data to train an automated […]

The proposed research aims to develop methods for efficiently computing visually realistic turbulent flows around solid objects for graphical applications in the film and video game industries. These methods would extend traditional techniques employed in aerodynamics to compute flows around airfoils. The extended method would address general solid objects in cases where the traditional techniques […]

Recent progress on deep architectures has enabled efficient representation and learning of complex high dimensional probability distributions over rich sensory data. In particular, deep mixture models and deep generative models have emerged as the most powerful techniques for this task. The proposed research aims at addressing some of the fundamental questions in this field: What […]

The thyroid glands are located at the front of the neck. The thyroid glands tend to develop small lumps, and it is very common in adults. Most of the lumps are not harmful to humans. However, some of these lumps could be cancerous. Therefore, it is essential to detect the lumps that are cancerous correctly. […]

Highly accurate spatial measurement systems are among the enabling technologies that make image-guided surgery possible in modern operating theatres. We consider the problem of positional accuracy assessment for robotic surgical tool while using a multiple camera optical tracking system (OTS). Since the position of the surgical tool with respect to the bone is guided by […]

The objective of the HealthBX project is to research and develop advanced software engineering methods for the purpose of increasing the interoperability of different clinical health information systems used in the province of British Columbia (BC). BC clinics use a variety of different health information systems to maintain electronic patient data. However, the abilities for […]

Portable Document Format or PDF is the de facto standard for presenting textual-visual content. In this project, we aim to develop a machine learning framework for PDF document understanding. Despite the recent proliferation of deep learning-based methods for the analysis and processing of natural images, there have been considerably less efforts on designing similar approaches […]

In this project, using such mainstream cryptocurrencies as BitCoin and Ethereum as representatives, the intern will analyze the transaction collection strategies of their mining pools, and then collect transactions and the corresponding blocks data to build a large dataset, from which the computing power of different mining pools and their proportions will be analyzed, together […]

Energy produced using the solar radiation as the source is one of the most prominent parts of the clean energy mix. More than 300 GW of photovoltaic systems (PV systems) of different size supply the daily needs of millions of families and industries around the world. Photovoltaic panels are installed on the roof of houses […]
