Foreign exchange market, also known as Forex is a currency trading market spread all around the globe. There are multiple factors that effect the exchange rates in currency market. Considering these factors in development of a trading algorithm will result in more accurate trading decisions. The proposed research that will be covered by the activities […]

In STEM education, many problem sets require a student to answer a question with a drawing. For example, kinematic physics or statics/dynamics engineering problems often require the student to construct a free-body diagram as a necessary step in the solution. However, when such subjects are taught through online education (such as though a MOOC), most […]

The Jewish Family Services Agency (JFSA) provides community based resettlement and employment services to immigrants in the Greater Vancouver Area from many parts of the world. The Resettlement Department counsels clients in career exploration and planning to ensure that all stages of career readiness and preparation are complete. The goal of the project, titled ‘JFSA […]

3D object detection and pose estimation (ODPE) is an important area in computer vision, which has many real world applications such as robotics and augmented reality. Estimating an accurate pose from RGB cameras alone is challenging. Given the increased popularity of RGBD sensors, such as Microsoft Kinect, we propose a hybrid method for ODPE based […]

The internship will be divided into two parts (4 months each). In the first half, I will be working with Freshbooks´ IOS product. They currently use apple’s data storage called Core Data. It’s an internal data storage system that is built-in to the phone, and allows the application to work without an internet connection. I […]

DeepCity advances concepts of resilience, urban ecology, sustainable futures, and systems-thinking within urban environments for players. The DeepCity prototype research project will provide the student with […]

Energy networks are often very complex which results in highly unpredictable congestion patterns in the physical constraints of the network. Most efforts to model congestion in energy networks are made on toy problems. Here, the objective is to model and predict congestion in a real physical energy network using automated machine learning systems, in particular […]

Frequent Google users may be familiar with the knowledge graph – it is what creates the visual display of key information related to a search query, often shown at the top of the page. The knowledge graph a store of information built up by organizing extracted information from various websites and grouping related material under […]

The goal of the project is to reduce the workload involved in the occlusion filling step of a 2D to 3D video conversion pipeline. To do so, the intern will develop and implement a video inpainting algorithm suitable for use in Hollywood Films. The algorithm will be integrated into the organization’s 2D to 3D video […]

Social network is becoming an increasingly popular media for information sharing. However, undesirable contents such as malicious rumors can spread through social networks among individuals. The technique to prevent undesirable content can also be applied in parenting control. As the more and more teenagers are using social network today, it is important to minimize the […]
