Design skills are increasingly recognized as a core competency for software professionals. Unfortunately, these skills are difficult to teach because design requires freedom and open-ended thinking, but new designers require a structured process to keep them from being overwhelmed by possibilities. Students need clearly communicated expectations and an easy way of tracking responsibilities to keep […]

Existing AI image tools are set up to work primarily with images in a pixel-based format (e.g. with a jpeg, png, or gif file representation). However, most games make use of vector art. The important unique aspect of vector art is that it can scale up or down as needed without a loss of resolution, […]

Business Case / Problem: The travel industry is increasingly competitive, requiring innovative approaches to pricing, distribution, and strategic planning. This business case proposes an development of a machine learning (ML), or equivalent module to specifically analyze two types of telemetry data: pricing, booking across multiple distribution channels. By leveraging this data, the module will provide […]

The “Student Exploration Advancements” project aims to enhance the student experience on Xello, a popular platform that helps students explore careers and plan their educational paths. By improving features like student feed content, career and school exploration, and data-driven insights, the project will make it easier and more engaging for students to discover relevant information […]

This collaborative research initiative between Academy of Learning (AOL)—a prominent Canadian Private Career College offering diploma and certificate programs in healthcare, business, and technology—and WIMTACH-CEDA aims to address AOL’s operational inefficiencies related to data management and decision-making. Currently, AOL’s reliance on disconnected third-party systems for critical functions like student registration, admissions, financial reporting, and compliance […]

As physical materials, water and glass play a key role in defining Vancouver’s unique urban soundscape. In the same way that light is refracted through prisms, so to is sound refracted through water and glass; so to is music, through the prisms of our minds as composers, performers, and as an urban community. Arcana Luminis […]

In (VR, we can’t see our bodies due to replacing the real world with a virtual one. This leads to disembodiment, which has been shown to impact performance. An avatar, a digital body, can create that embodiment. The proposed research aims to combine the topic of the intern’s master’s thesis, “Investigating Graphical Realism in Mixed […]

The main goal of this research endeavor is the development of a hybrid cloud infrastructure that incorporates quantum computing techniques into its design in order to increase the security, scalability, and level of usability of existing cloud computing systems. This specifically means integrating the more sophisticated aspects of quantum computing, such as quantum cryptography and […]

This project aims to enhance responsible AI in dynamic environments by leveraging data drift detection and model adaptation techniques. By collaborating with IFS Canada, this project seeks to synergize academic exploration with real-world application, creating a dynamic partnership that bridges the gap between theoretical advancements and practical solutions. This project, focused on developing reliable AI […]

The project will enable contactless measurement of blood glucose using remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology using patients’ face or finger videos which is a comparatively new artefact. There is a lack of training data and the blood volume pulse (BVP) signal extracted from the videos suffer from a lot of noise resulting in poor measurement accuracy. […]

At WorkSafeBC, an overwhelming amount of data is being produced, particularly in conversation logs between people who have an active claim with WorkSafeBC and various practitioners with whom they have regular contact (usually over the phone). These records are transcribed into text and the information is far beyond what any analyst could possibly read and […]
