Typical accounting systems are built for accountants, and they are great for filing a year-end. However, they are a burden at running day-to-day consulting companies where every hour has value. The GroupThinq accounting application tackles this problem by providing a framework to control, in real-time, every aspect of a company, helping teams to run projects, […]

Virtus is using machine and deep learning to analyse real-time video feeds from fish cages to help the aquaculture industry to calculate biomass, stress and health levels of fish. This information will help companies in various way. Knowing the state of the fish will help to optimize feeding the fish which saves money in what […]

For a software application to be released, it may need a number of standard certifications, which should be issued from different associations and for a wide range of software features (e.g., security, perfor-mance, scalability). We call these associations trusted third parties. The main problem with these trust-ed third parties is that they are single points […]

Networks are moving towards being adaptive. This means that automation will be used to replace processes which are today highly manual. This project proposes a development of knowledge in the area of algorithms required to enable adaptive networks. The project will train two PhD students to understand optical networks and devise optimization algorithms in the […]

Phenotyping is used to develop new strains of plants, understand plant-affecting diseases (phyto-pathology) and evaluate the effects of various substances on plants. A growing variety of sensors and sensor technology is used to gather data used for phenotyping, in a non-destructive manner, and this overall process of data acquisition and analysis is being automated, leading […]

In this project the human body movement and its balance will be studied, and artificial intelligence-based algorithms will be developed in order to detect the body movement and the posture in real-time. Specific camera technology will be utilized in order to gather required data of the human movement and the environment. The data will then […]

In the last few decades, Socially Responsible Investments (SRI) have growingly become a relevant issue. This trend is expected to continue and strengthen going forward. Moreover, the steady trend of rationalization and marketization of the social sector over the past four decades has set expectations and norms of rationalized practices such as Social Performance Measurement […]

TAS (Techno Aero Services Inc.) is a Canadian recruitment agency specialized in aeronautics, engineering, and technology. At TAS, candidates currently submit resumes to a database through a web interface. These resumes are then manually processed by recruiters before a suitable candidate is matched to a position. Through this laborious manual process, great prospective candidates often […]

We envision a future where it will be possible to lavish the same attention on individual plants in a large prairie crop farm as one might on those in a backyard garden. As camera sensors shrink in size, and self-driving vehicles continue to improve, such an idea is no longer the realm of science fiction. […]

Recent progress on word and sentence embeddings has enabled efficient representation and learning of complex high dimensional probability distributions over rich text data. The proposed research aims at addressing some of the fundamental questions in this field: What are the natural mathematical structures on that latent spaces? How to find a meaningful basis? What is […]

Missing Link Technologies Ltd. provides customized and effective solutions to its partners for their IT infrastructure & operations. They are especially involved with solving the IT facilities management challenges of Telcos and Datacenters. The proposed research in collaboration with Missing Link Technologies Ltd. is aimed at leveraging the advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence […]

The proposed research concerns the use of Electromyography (EMG) input, via the Myo Armband, for older adults (OAs). EMG input, such as that available through off-the-shelf products, such as the Myo armband (made by a Canadian firm, Thalmic Labs from Waterloo), enables access to interactive commands in an intelligent home setting. Gestures facilitated by EMG […]
