Le cancer du sein est l’une des premières causes de mortalité chez les femmes dans le monde. Le dépistage précoce par le biais de la mammographie reste est le seul moyen reconnu pour la réduction du taux de mortalité de cette pathologie. Toutefois, la qualité des mammographies rend pénible l’identification des masses mammaires. Dans le […]

Hundreds of millions of children in developing countries are unable to complete primary education. Mobile devices such as tablets are increasingly inexpensive and becoming accessible in large numbers in such developing countries. We propose developing educational software for such tablets to help children acquire arithmetic skills. To do this, we will develop new ways of […]

PACTA is a cutting edge SaaS contract management and analysis product designed for SMBs that proactively manages and tracks business contracts and obligations, thereby minimizing business risk and saving up to 9% of the bottom line. The objective for the full-time 8-month internship, in partnership with Dr. Lingras at SMU and Mitacs is to identify […]

Our intended research will be focused on rumor spreading protocols, also known as randomized broadcasting. In the randomized rumor spreading problem, the goal is to broadcast a message that is initiated at one node to all nodes in a given network, by means of nodes choosing uniformly at random a neighbor and exchanging the message […]

The goal of this project is to develop algorithms that allow machines to understand and describe actions in video. For example, we would like computers to be able to classify videos according to the actions taking place inside them , and annotate the videos according to where and when the actions take place. To tackle […]

This research project aims at providing efficient methods to solve a mathematical problem which has practical applications in digital communication and online storage. In the domain of communications, these methods perform the decoding stage of some error-correcting codes, which are used to ensure reliable data transmission over an unreliable or noisy communication channel such as […]

The project first aims at developing a robust and low latency hardware system for identifying which fingers are in contact with a surface. The second objective is to implement and refine finger identification interaction techniques that would improve the interaction with touch surfaces (smart phone, tablets, tabletops). These techniques will be evaluated to state of […]

This project explores the design of different manual and semi-automatic instruments to support interaction with token-based physical data visualizations (or physicalizations). The recent advance in digital fabrication has made data physicalization – encoding data in the geometry or material properties of a physical artifact – a growing research interest in the information visualization community. However, […]

In Canada, Epilepsy affects approximately 3 to 6 children per 1000 aged from 0 to 15 years in the overall population. Fifteen to 25% of these children have benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS), making BECTS the most common benign childhood focal epileptic syndrome. Studies have found cognitive and behavioral deficits, which may well persist […]

The XAHIVE mandate is to improve the privacy and security of communication between professionals. At XAHIVE, Carleton students will be researching a differentiator in communication encryption and decryption coupled with a significant increase the convenience while retaining all levels of existing functionality. Additionally, students will be researching methods and processes to convert XAHIVE into an […]

This research project will provide the intern with the opportunity to work with end users (students and faculty) to refine, further develop and test a prototype of NursApp, a learning management system (LMS) designed to create opportunities for students to use technology to learn in post-secondary education. The intern will work with co-owners to conduct […]

The graduate student (Simon Byrns) will work closely with pancreas surgeons and experts in computer image manipulation to generate 3D models of the relevant anatomy in pancreas surgery. These models will then be printed on a 3D printer and used to investigate their utility in the preoperative planning phase prior to surgery. The use of […]
