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 […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Machine Learning (ML)-based software quickly becomes complex due to being developed by multiple teams using different programming languages, with documentation stored in various locations. This complexity introduces communication and collaboration challenges, specially due to the fact that Co-operators Business Intelligence department manages over 1,150 assets, which includes ML models, APIs, databases, and more. The current […]

In partnership with NovaceneAI, computer science and journalism researchers from Toronto Metropolitan University will continue to develop an AI-powered product (Journalism Representation Index, or JeRI) that gives journalists and media consumers a tool with which to analyze the sources cited in journalism reports. The primary goal of the platform is to provide an evidenced-based structure […]

Large language models (LLMs) are becoming ubiquitous given their ability to excel at many tasks. However, there has yet to emerge a comprehensive understanding of their internal mechanisms, in particular with regards to how LLMs use the knowledge it possesses. Previous works have suggested that despite LLMs possessing knowledge, they can often be incapable of […]
