For some time now the real estate industry has been lagging in the adoption of digital technology to help make the overall business and experience more efficient. Although there are large systems in place, such as Multiple Listing Service and other smaller web-based tools, the industry as a whole is lacking innovation. The focus of […]

The objective of the project is to automatically learn missing information in knowledge bases (KBs), which are becoming essential tools to deal with big data, since they provide means to organize, manage and retrieve all this knowledge. These databases are huge directed multi-relational graphs, whose nodes correspond to entities connected by edges representing a certain […]

The popularity of smartphones is leading to an ever growing number of mobile apps that are published in official app stores. However, users might experience failures and crashes for some apps installed on their devices. For developers, diagnosing failures that users experience is a major challenge, since the diversity of contextual conditions makes it difficult […]

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 […]

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 […]

Current advanced audio playback systems can provide a feeling of 3D immersion to listeners. Though the technology to listen to 3D audio can provide a good listening experience, the technology used to create 3D audio content has not adapted to those advances. One major reason is due to human aural localization ability that is not […]

Acute skin erythema is a common side effect with patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment. It displays itself as an increase in skin redness and irritation. Erythema has been reported to correlate to individual patient response to radiation and therefore may be useful to guide and modify courses of treatment in a timely manner.

The knowledge graph a store of information built up by organizing extracted information from various websites and grouping related material under […]

This proposed research will create a corporate website as well as content management system, which will be developed at and for Side Effects Software. The main objectives of this applied research are (1) redesign the corporate website and services attached; (2) ensure the security, reliability, and scalability of the system; (3) test the application efficiently […]

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 […]

Asset management systems are becoming essential tools that help municipalities in infrastructure planning and management decisions.
