Providing high quality healthcare service is important in a society not only for the patients but also for their families and friends, who devote time to take care of their loved ones. In order to meet the healthcare demands of citizens, especially for the baby booming generation, an increasing number of long term care facilities […]

There is a rapidly growing need for voice powered human-machine interaction modalities for varieties of devices. Despite enormous investment in research and development in this area by a number of companies, significant limitations remain which prevent the ubiquitous proliferation of speech recognition. These limitations include poor performance in the presence of noise, inability to handle […]

Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive laser-based optical technique that provides information on the molecular composition of biological tissue. Using this technique, it is possible to distinguish different types of tissue and use this information to develop prognostic tests to evaluate, for example, how a patient will respond to a specific therapy. Combined with other spectroscopy […]

Computer administrators defend enterprises using tools that do not scale to the size of modem networks. As a result, malicious behavior in enterprise networks generally is W1detected, even when attackers do not attempt to be stealthy. One way to improve this situation may be through the application of social network analysis to the computer sectrrity […]

Melanoma is the most lethal skin cancer, accounting for 2% of all skin cancer types, yet approximately 75% of skin cancer deaths. It often evolves from clear skin or existing moles, making it difficult to diagnose at early stage. Besides, the treatment of melanoma is a complex decision making process, which is affected by a […]

The wide adoption and development of wireless sensing technologies for the monitoring and autonomous identification of financial activities have affected financial institutions in the past decade. However, wider utilization of RFID technologies in the banking sector has introduced challenges regarding the security and privacy of sensitive financial data. The proposed innovations and technological developments will […]

Information technologies that can provide health professionals detailed patient information in ‘real time’ can improve patient experience, quality of care, and staff workload. However, to date, Canada’s health care system has been challenged by limited adoption and implementation of new information technologies that hold great promise for achieving health system transformation. To address these challenges, […]

This research project aims at creating a robust, efficient and reliable conversational agent for the banking domain that will offer a high level of performance in both key areas of conversational agent architecture: Natural Language Understanding and Response Generation. Natural language understanding approaches, retrieval-based models, as well as deep learning will be used to develop […]

This project will be focused on implementation of an algorithmic model to help us better understand the underlying processes of recognition memory. Specifically, our computational model is comprised of two memory modules – one representing the hippocampus and the other representing the perirhinal cortex of the brain. According to the dual-process model of recognition memory, […]

Lack of affordable, reliable access to the Internet in remote, rural, and Indigenous communities in Canada and internationally has led to a digital divide affecting billions. Left has developed its RightMesh technology, which lets nearby mobile devices connect without the Internet. Normally data flows from a phone, through Internet Service Providers (Telus, Shaw), to the […]

Manufacturing is a main component driving the successful economy in a society. In order to remain competitive in the global manufacturing market, product quality control is critical. High quality product not only expands the client base, but also enables just-in-time correction to reduce the cost wasted in defective products. The goal of this project is […]
